DAIN inference_dain.py issues . about mvimp

[Zotikus1001]

The issue here is there is an hidden file ".ipynb_checkpoints" inside the Input folder.

I don't know how that file got there, but when it goes to interpolate, it expects to find only .png images inside the input folder.

It happens to me to when I copy all the files from my google drive folder into the input folder.

When this happened , what i did is that i deleted both the input and output folders , created both the folders , uploaded the video and did it again and it happened again . Idk how to prevent it from making that file or if it gets created , how to delete it or change the location of where the frames gets extracted .

[WindyGhost]

I think i fixed it .
Before running this code

!python3 inference_dain.py --input_video test.mp4 --time_step 0.5 -hr

I ran this code

!rm -r /content/MVIMP/Data/Input/.ipynb_checkpoints

And it worked ...

And if someone faces the problem when the frames gets interpolated , it will show that same error

IsADirectoryError: [Errno 21] Is a directory: '/content/MVIMP/Data/Output/.ipynb_checkpoints'

Use this code

!rm -r /content/MVIMP/Data/Output/.ipynb_checkpoints

Is it somehow related to the GPU type? I think i got that error when Colab gave me a T4 16Gb or K80 8 Gb gpu. But never when it gave me a P100 16Gb. But I could be wrong. Anyway, I'll try what @WindyGhost proposed.

I can call an additional check and delete the Jupyter cache file, WIP.

I did a little research and found out that the hidden file gets created everytime when you save your .ipynb notebook file , it is to revert to the changes you have made like if u did some mistake you undo in your computer by ctrl+z , this is what it is .
And
It is not related to what GPU you have been assigned .

Long story short , if you are confused then this is what i do .

1. First i download and install the dependencies which is Step 1

2. Then i upload the video in /content/MVIMP/Data/Input

3. Then i do this

!rm -r /content/MVIMP/Data/Input/.ipynb_checkpoints
!rm -r /content/MVIMP/Data/Output/.ipynb_checkpoints

4. And then i do this

!python3 inference_dain.py --input_video whatever.mp4 --time_step 0.5 -hr

And when everything is done , download the final product , i delete the video manually , which is not needed , but i still do it .
And if i want to do it again i do it again from step 2 .

The issue is now closed but i have 1 question .
What do you pass with -hr , because i passed both 'true' and 'store_true' but i get error .
Any suggestions .

[CyFeng16]

'store_true' and 'store_false' - These are special cases of 'store_const' using for storing the values True and False respectively. In addition, they create default values of False and True respectively. For example:

parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
parser.add_argument('--foo', action='store_true')
parser.add_argument('--bar', action='store_false')
parser.add_argument('--baz', action='store_false')
parser.parse_args('--foo --bar'.split())
Namespace(bar=False, baz=True, foo=True)

You can also see argparse for details.

I get it now
So i only have to use -hr and it stores true and if i don't use -hr it won't work
