Openpose hand, face and body models not found due to wrong url in getModels.bat

[salwaElkaddaoui]

I'm trying to execute the CPU binaries of OpenPose on Windows 10 using the file video.avi provided in the folder examples. I get an error message telling me that Caffe models are not found:
Caffe trained model file not found: C:\Users\Salle\Documents\openpose-1.4.0-win64-cpu-binaries\models\pose/body_25/pose_iter_584000.caffemodel.
Then the error message goes:
Possible causes :

1. Not downloading the OpenPose trained models
2. Not running OpenPose from the same directory where the model folder is located
3. Using paths with spaces

I make sure to specify the path to the models directory and I don't have spaces in my paths. The problem is the first point : the trained models aren't downloaded. These should be downloaded by running the file getModels.bat. But when I do that I get this error:

--2018-10-11 09:52:44-- (try: 2) http://posefs1.perception.cs.cmu.edu/OpenPose/models/pose/body_25/pose_iter_584000.caffemodel
Connecting to posefs1.perception.cs.cmu.edu (posefs1.perception.cs.cmu.edu)|128.2.176.37|:80... failed: Unknown error.
Retrying.

The thing is, the url http://posefs1.perception.cs.cmu.edu/OpenPose/models/pose/body_25/pose_iter_584000.caffemodel is wrong, i.e such a page doesn't exist. Where can I download this model? Although I doubt it a lot, but can the problem by building the source code of the OpenPose library instead of using the executables?

The url works for me. Perhaps you are behind a company/institute proxy which is blocking downloads?

You have most probably the problem described by athaiden. The easy solution is to manually download it from doc/installation.md

Could you please resolve this error
Also did tried downloading manually,but then there is no OpenPoseDemo.exe in build/bin and also various files are missing in it.

I realized that, at least in the version I downloaded, the paths containing body_25, coco and mpi for the body+foot URLs were set as "body_25\", "coco\" and "mpi\" instead of "body_25/", "coco/" and "mpi/".

Given these strings are used for URL addresses, it should be "/" instead of "\". Probably it was being taken as an escape character, so the address was not well set. @Salwaelk was right, the problem was with the addresses. I realized, for example, one of the instances was trying to download from http://posefs1.perception.cs.cmu.edu/OpenPose/models/pose/coco%5Cpose_iter_440000.caffemodel (and respective addresses) instead of http://posefs1.perception.cs.cmu.edu/OpenPose/models/pose/coco/Cpose_iter_440000.caffemodel (note the slight difference between them)

I don't understand where is the trained model I didn't find it at doc/installation.md
and it is not in my folder
openpose\models\pose\body_25
Can someone help?

how can i to change it sir ?

It's been a while since I looked at it, but as far as I can remember I just opened the .bat file with a text editor and then I changed it (you could change each one manually or to use a "locate/replace" tool of your text editor)

do you mean getModels.bat sir ? i think getModels.bat for getting the caffemodel file, if we downloaded manual, then no need for using getModels.bat right sir ? @FireHeartMaster

[janimango]

I'm getting the same error message, but in my .bat file all the body_25, coco and mpi for the body+foot URLs are sat as "body_25/", "coco/" and "mpi/".
So I dont really get the problem...

Inside the getModels.bat file is this URL: http://posefs1.perception.cs.cmu.edu/OpenPose/models/
So maybe its not possible to dowload the Models
Is there any way to fix this?

[gineshidalgo99]

Everything should be working again. Sorry for the troubles! Otherwise, #1602 add alternative links for download.
