AssetionError: training py-faster-rcnn with one class

[yawadugyamfi]

I am using py-faster-rcnn to train the 2007 VOC dataset. When I run on the original 21 classes, it works fine, but when I change the original number of classes, I get an error.. I am doing this for 1 class ('person'). I made the following changes to the original codes:

1. file: fcn_root/models/VGG16/faster_rcnn_alt_opt.pt layer { name: "cls_score" type: "InnerProduct" bottom: "fc7" top: "cls_score" inner_product_param { num_output: 2 } }

   layer { name: "bbox_pred" type: "InnerProduct" bottom: "fc7" top: "bbox_pred" inner_product_param { num_output: 8 } }

2. file2: fcn_root/lib/datasets/pascal_voc.py

   line 28:self._classes = ('background', # always index 0 'person')

   removed -1's from the lines below

       x1 = float(get_data_from_tag(obj, 'xmin'))
        y1 = float(get_data_from_tag(obj, 'ymin'))
        x2 = float(get_data_from_tag(obj, 'xmax')) 
        y2 = float(get_data_from_tag(obj, 'ymax'))

3. file3: ../VOCdevkit/VOCcode/VOCinit.m

VOCopts.classes={... 'person'};

I get the following error after I run this command,

./experiments/scripts/faster_rcnn_alt_opt.sh 3 VGG16 \ --set EXP_DIR foobarx

I have also attached a full trace of my program running. Error: Process Process-1: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/multiprocessing/process.py", line 258, in _bootstrap self.run() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/multiprocessing/process.py", line 114, in run self._target(_self._args, *_self._kwargs) File "./tools/train_faster_rcnn_alt_opt.py", line 123, in train_rpn roidb, imdb = get_roidb(imdb_name) File "./tools/train_faster_rcnn_alt_opt.py", line 68, in get_roidb roidb = get_training_roidb(imdb) File "/home/microway/test/pytest/py-faster-rcnn/tools/../lib/fast_rcnn/train.py", line 121, in get_training_roidb imdb.append_flipped_images() File "/home/microway/test/pytest/py-faster-rcnn/tools/../lib/datasets/imdb.py", line 108, in append_flipped_images assert (boxes[:, 2] >= boxes[:, 0]).all() AssertionError

Hi, I have also encountered this error. Seems like something is wrong in at least one of the annotations, an artificial solution is the following: in imdb.py

for b in range(len(boxes)):     
                if boxes[b][2] < boxes[b][0]:
                   boxes[b][0] = 0

assert (boxes[:, 2] >= boxes[:, 0]).all()

Hope this helps!

Hello yawadugyamfi, did you find a solution to your error? Would you share it with us please?

Never mind, I found the answer. There should be no <ymin>0</ymin> nor <xmin>0</xmin> in an object.

I changed that in the Annotations folder with the two commands (./ means the current folder is Annotations): grep -rl '<ymin>0</ymin>' ./ | xargs sed -i 's#<ymin>0</ymin>#<ymin>1</ymin>#g' and grep -rl '<xmin>0</xmin>' ./ | xargs sed -i 's#<xmin>0</xmin>#<xmin>1</xmin>#g'

Now training is running smoothly. .

[aragon111]

@marphil in which function you wrote those lines?

[aragon111]

@DiegoPortoJaccottet I got sed: no input files

[alviur]

@marphil that worked for me!.

[CWOA]

@DiegoPortoJaccottet your fix worked for me, thanks! The @marphil fix produces the same assertion error in my case.

[harora]

@DiegoPortoJaccottet Even i got sed : no input files. I have my annotation files in that folder ( *.xml)

[DiegoPortoJaccottet]

@harora You got 'sed: no input files' from the commands I described or from Faster-RCNN?

[XiangyuChu]

@moyans I get the same error with you.

y2= float(bbox.find('ymax').text) ValueError: invalid literal for float(): 196006001002176.jpg

Have you found any solution to it? Thank you

[moyans]

you need check this img and label.

@moyans 196006001002176.jpg is very odd. My images are usually "000000.jpg", same as VOC2007. And I have removed "-1" from the lines below x1 = float(bbox.find( 'xmin').text) y1 = float(bbox.find('ymin').text) x2 = float(bbox.find('xmax').text) y2 = float(bbox.find('ymax').text)

[moyans]

check the label out of range?

in the Annotation folder I run grep -rl '<ymin>0</ymin>' ./ | xargs sed -i 's#<ymin>0</ymin>#<ymin>1</ymin>#g' I got: sed : no input files just like @harora . I want to know why. @DiegoPortoJaccottet

[XiangyuChu]

@moyans Thanks for your help. I have solved the error. I found an error in "output.txt", i.e. 002175.jpg c 669 155 769 **196006001002176.jpg p 207 188 229 257. What puzzles me is that I cannot find error in .xml. Anyway, it is solved. Thank you again!

[iamlxb3]

I replaced xmin 0 and ymin 0 with xmin 1 and ymin 1, all things resolved!

replace 0 with 0.0
