When i run main.py, it show some error

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "main.py", line 144, in
main()
File "main.py", line 112, in main
content_img = read_image(CONTENT_IMG)
File "main.py", line 96, in read_image
image = image[np.newaxis,:IMAGE_H,:IMAGE_W,:]
IndexError: too many indices for array

how do i fix it, Thx

@exgile, is this still an issue?

I had the same problem using anaconda with python 3.5.
This seems related to the io module of scipy that uses 'PIL' to load and save image, at least in my case the image loaded from the disk was an empty array with only a descriptive header string, that's what caused the error when trying to slice it.
Anyway I have solved installing 'pillow' instead of 'PIL' with pip.

i have installed pillow but have the same problem. have you change something in the script for use pillow instad of PIL?

[francescoagati]

i use python 2.7.6 on bash ubuntu

Now, I replace this line by scipy.misc.imresize(image,(IMAGE_H,IMAGE_W)).
I hope this could solve this issue.
If it can't, it is recommended to use other image-processing libraries such as cv2 or skimage.
So that it can read an image as three dimensional numpy array.

Actually, when I created this project two years ago, I was not familiar with python API for image processing, and I didn't know how to resize image.
