YOLO Error: names: Using default 'data/names.list' Couldn't open file: data/names.list when implemented on CPU offline

Question

I have implemented custom object detector using YOLO for offline on CPU.

When I run this command on CPU:

!./darknet detector demo data/obj.data cfg/yolov4-obj.cfg yolov4-obj_final.weights -dont_show MVI_1615_VIS.avi -i 0 -out_filename results.avi

I get the following error:

GPU isn't used OpenCV version: 3.2.0 names: Using default 'data/names.list' Couldn't open file: data/names.list

Kindly help.

Answer 1

I came across this error recently. For me, it was a simple mistake in the obj.data file.
Instead of the correct version which is:
names = obj.names
I had:
names - obj.names
Hence why it couldnt find the obj.names file
Make sure there aren't any errors in the obj.data file. For more info, check out: https://github.com/AlexeyAB/darknet#how-to-train-to-detect-your-custom-objects
