I try to run the following programe for images classification problem in Pytorch:

# Save the model checkpoint
torch.save(model.state_dict(), 'model/model.ckpt')


But I get a RuntimeError:

Traceback (most recent call last):

RuntimeError: Given groups=1, weight of size 16 1 5 5, expected input[100, 3, 256, 256] to have 1 channels, but got 3 channels instead


Someone could help to fix the bug? Thanks a lot.

Your input layer self.layer1 starts with a 2d convolution nn.Conv2d(1, 16, kernel_size=5, stride=1, padding=2). This conv layer expects an input with two spatial dimensions and one channel, and outputs a tesnor with the same spatial dimensions and 16 channels.
However, your input has three channels and not one (RGB image instead of gray level image).

Make sure your net and data are in synch.
