Is it essential to exclude groundtruth box when training with relation module?And why?

chengdazhi commented 6 years ago

Yes, because relation modules operate on a pair basis, and is therefore more sensitive to input distribution. If ground truth are provided in training phase, it introduces a gap on input distribution between training and testing, as ground truth boxes are unavailable in testing.
