FID for COCO alike generated images #76

Open shreejalt opened 2 years ago

shreejalt commented 2 years ago

Hi, Thanks for your work, I had one doubt regarding FID Score. Now if I want to train the GAN to generate the COCO alike datasets, then can I use the pretrained Inception net for that?

Logically, it should not be the case as the backbone training is itself very different from COCO like datasets.

Also, instead of InceptionNet, can I take any backbone trained on object detection on COCO or VOC and then take that as my network for the evaluation of the same?

Thanking you in advance

Hi @shreejalt, has your understanding changed since your above comment? I have the similar question to myself on the importance of pretrained inception network if the dataset is much different from the data that these models were trained on.
