Seemingly good loss curve but no detections when testing

goncz commented 4 years ago

I am trying to train a custom yolov3 model to detect a single class. My dataset consists of 450 training images and 50 validation images. The images have a resolution of 500x374, and the objects range from 100x40 to 250x250 pixels. The loss result when training is shown below where the loss converges pretty fast - most likely because of the small dataset.

However, when I test the produced weights ./darknet detector demo data/obj.data yolo-obj.cfg backup/yolo-obj_last.weights data/test.jpg the iamge shows no detections. I've tested on several images, all with no detecitons.

I've tried different learning rates (0.001, 0.0001, 0.0005), different width and height of the YOLO network, different max_batches. -show_imgs flag shows correct augmentation of images with correct bounding boxes.

Is my dataset too sparse? Something wrong with my cfg file? A side note is that mAP is not showing on the graph even though -map flag is enabled.

You said:

....different width and height of the YOLO network

And your cfg file shows:

width=160 height=160

That looks very very small, in my opinion way way too small.

So which other width & height's have you tested, all in nearly the same area of 160 ? I would suggest to train at least with minimum width & height of 416 and if this doesn't work try once again with width & height of 608. If thats not working too, than i guess the problem is somewhere else

If you have an issue with training - no-detections / Nan avg-loss / low accuracy:

read FAQ: https://github.com/AlexeyAB/darknet/wiki/FAQ---frequently-asked-questions
what command do you use?
what dataset do you use?
what Loss and mAP did you get?
show chart.png with Loss and mAP
check your dataset - run training with flag -show_imgs i.e. ./darknet detector train ... -show_imgs and look at the aug_...jpg images, do you see correct truth bounded boxes?
rename your cfg-file to txt-file and drag-n-drop (attach) to your message here
show content of generated files bad.list and bad_label.list if they exist

You must train 6000 iterations

Seemingly good loss curve but no detections when testing #6172
