Error in first CNN Challenge

#1

I am trying to convert all images into arrays and append them to an aimag data list. But I am getting error in this that say-

UnidentifiedImageError Traceback (most recent call last)
in ()
2 for i in os.listdir§:
3 path = os.path.join(p,i)
----> 4 img = image.load_img(path)
5 print(image.img_to_array(img).shape)
6

2 frames
/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/PIL/Image.py in open(fp, mode)
2860 warnings.warn(message)
2861 raise UnidentifiedImageError(
-> 2862 “cannot identify image file %r” % (filename if filename else fp)
2863 )
2864

UnidentifiedImageError: cannot identify image file <_io.BytesIO object at 0x7f04d191d678>

Here is my code-

Hey @sanchit123manchanda, just try printing the path like this :

for p in pokemons:
  for i in os.listdir(p):
    path = os.path.join(p,i)
    print(path)

You will see the problem itself and why is it coming.

I hope this clears your doubt !

I checked it. All the paths looked fine. What can I do to rectify this error.

#4

I got it. There are some files with unknown extensions such as .svg, .asp, etc. Should i ignore them or read them by a different method ?

#5

See if you can find a common method to read all the files together or if u think the .svg or .asp files are not too many in number…u can simple ignore them.

I hope this clears your doubt ! :+1:
