Image Channel Mismatch in Caffe

I know this may be better asked in caffe user group but I cannot access the user group and don't know where to pose the question as I'm not sure whether this needs to be raised as an issue in git. In any case, what I'm doing is this:

I have a set of grayscale images that I want to use to train a CNN using caffe. I'm using a modified version of the provided caffenet model definitions with minor modifications (ie: channel = 1 instead of 3 as I have grayscale images). So far, I used the imagenet provided mean image to train the CNN and it trained and generated results. Now I wanted to compute the image mean of my own train/test dataset and use that as the mean image so I used the file in build/tools/ to do this. It needed the images to be in lmdb so I first converted images to lmdb using convert_imageset and then used compute_mean to compute the mean. I ensured that I use --gray flag when using convert_imageset as my images are grayscale. When I rerun caffe, I get the following error. From what I can understand, it's a channel mismatch but I have no idea how to fix this. Any help on this is very much appreciated.

I have the following in train_val.prototxt

name: "FlickrStyleCaffeNet"
layer {
  name: "data"
  type: "ImageData"
  top: "data"
  top: "label"
  include {
    phase: TRAIN
  }
  transform_param {
    mirror: true
    crop_size: 227
    mean_file: "data/ilsvrc12/imagenet_mean.binaryproto"
  }
  image_data_param {
    source: "data/flickr_style/mri_train.txt"
    batch_size: 10
    new_height: 256
    new_width: 256
  }
}

and this in deploy.prototxt

name: "FlickrStyleCaffeNet"
layer {
  name: "data"
  type: "Input"
  top: "data"
  input_param { shape: { dim: 10 dim: 3 dim: 227 dim: 227 } }
}

I figured out how to do this. In the train_val.prototxt, there's an image_data_param section under data layer. I had to add is_color: false in it and that fixed the issue.

Thanks everyone for comments and replies, appreciate it.
