No images (with bounding boxes) displayed while running VGG_CNN_M_1024

[vikiboy]

I have modified the code slightly to run VGG_CNN_M_1024 as I am using a 2GB GPU. And as per the comments given in https://github.com/rbgirshick/fast-rcnn/issues/2, I chose to run VGG_CNN_M_1024.caffemodel instead of VGG16_faster_rcnn_final.caffemodel

I have attached the outputs of the terminal while running it with zf net and also with VGG_CNN_M_1024 net. zf_output.txt VGG_CNN_M_1024_output.txt

While the images with the bounding boxes are displayed fine when run with zf net, they don't seem to display with the VGG_CNN_M_1024 net. Any reason what might be going wrong ?

[vikiboy]

I isolated the reason that the bounding boxes aren't being generated by the RPN . Any particular reason as to why ?
