Unable to create recognition file - for dataset - 'local variable' 'elapsed_time' referenced before assignment

Hello,

I have been using Addax AI through TimeLapse for about a year and this is the first error message I have received. I recently upgraded to version 6.29 and downloaded the Parks Victoria - Addax data science model. When I tried to run it for the first time it was “locating animals” for about 20 hours then I got an error message saying a recognition file could not be created referencing a local variable called “elapsed_time” which was referenced before assignment, see error message below.

Can someone please tell me what this message means?

Hi @DRW ,

That error message is generic and means something went wrong during analysis. Does it happen more often? Or was this a one-time error? If it happens consitently, could you run it in debug mode and share the logs with me?

You can send it to peter@addaxdatascience.com

That will give me more information on whats going on.

Thanks!

Cheers,

Peter

On second thought, it might just be a corrupted model download. Could you:

  1. make sure AddaxAI is not running, and the app is closed.
  2. remove this entire folder with contents: C:\Users\<username>\AddaxAI_files\models\cls\Victoria, Australia - Parks Victoria - Addax Data Science
  3. Restart AddaxAI. It will now show you a window saying there is a new model available, the VIC model
  4. Try running the model on some data and click yes to download
  5. make sure you have stable internet during the entire process. I believe the model is about 500MB.

Does that solve it?

Cheers,

Peter
