ImportError: cannot import name 'imresize'

[vk-mittal14]

While importing visualize_activation from vis.visualization I got this error
from vis.visualization import visualize_activation

ImportError                               Traceback (most recent call last)

ImportError: cannot import name 'imresize'

That's because imresize has been removed from scipy since v1.3.0rc1
What you can do is edit the code in vis/visualization/saliency.py to use other function to resize, such as opencv resize.

Or, As being mentioned in #203 (comment) , you can downgrade scipy to 1.1.0 as follows:

pip install scipy==1.1.0

[ekamioka]

as @Mazzanicolas said:

in vis/visualization/saliency.py

replace: from scipy.misc import imresize

to: import cv2

then

replace: heatmap = imresize(heatmap, input_dims, interp='bicubic', mode='F')

to:

heatmap = cv2.resize(src=heatmap,
                       dsize=input_dims,
                       interpolation=cv2.INTER_CUBIC)

I just couldn't map the mode param.

[TiagoFilipeSousaGoncalves]

Another way of solving this (I did it myself and it's working quite well) is to use Pillow library:
in vis/visualization/saliency.py

comment from scipy.misc import imresize

and add from PIL import Image

comment heatmap = imresize(heatmap, input_dims, interp='bicubic', mode='F')

Then, update the heatmap variable as such:
heatmap = np.array(Image.fromarray(obj=heatmap, mode='F').resize(size=input_dims, resample=Image.BICUBIC))

Check SciPy:
scipy.misc.imresize

And Pillow:
Pillow Image Module

Or, As being mentioned in #203 (comment) , you can downgrade scipy to 1.1.0 as follows:

pip install scipy==1.1.0
```It worked for me :)

Check docs: scipy.misc.imresize - SciPy v1.2.1 Reference Guide
imresize is deprecated! imresize is deprecated in SciPy 1.0.0, and will be removed in 1.3.0.

Check example: sample problem

If you are using scipy version earlier than 1.3.0, then try this (it worked for me, tested on version 0.19.1):

instead of:

...
from scipy.misc import imresize
...

imresize()

do:

...
from scipy import misc
...

misc.imresize()
