用这个api训练自己的数据集时候,遇到一个问题,就是即使训练了十万步,最后loss始终降不下去,保持在5%左右(其实也还好,不算高),最后在测试集上测试,效果很不好,物体检测的框都标错。
经过反复查找原因,最后找到问题的关键在于生成Tf_record文件的时候,读入图片的宽和高信息有误导致的。
先来看看Object Detection的官方给的生成tf_record数据处理python文件中生成example函数:
def create_tf_example(image,
annotations_list,
image_dir,
category_index,
include_masks=False):
"""Converts image and annotations to a tf.Example proto.
Args:
image: dict with keys:
[u'license', u'file_name', u'coco_url', u'height', u'width',
u'date_captured', u'flickr_url', u'id']
annotations_list:
list of dicts with keys:
[u'segmentation', u'area', u'iscrowd', u'image_id',
u'bbox', u'category_id', u'id']
Notice that bounding box coordinates in the official COCO dataset are
given as [x, y, width, height] tuples using absolute coordinates where
x, y represent the top-left (0-indexed) corner. This function converts
to the format expected by the Tensorflow Object Detection API (which is
which is [ymin, xmin, ymax, xmax] with coordinates normalized relative
to image size).
image_dir: directory containing the image files.
category_index: a dict containing COCO category information keyed
by the 'id' field of each category. See the
label_map_util.create_category_index function.
include_masks: Whether to include instance segmentations masks
(PNG encoded) in the result. default: False.
Returns:
example: The converted tf.Example
num_annotations_skipped: Number of (invalid) annotations that were ignored.
Raises:
ValueError: if the image pointed to by data['filename'] is not a valid JPEG

image_height = image[‘height’] image_width = image[‘width’]
这是从xml文件中读取出图像的高和宽,然后再读取原始图片数据中的标注物体的框的位置,再除以图片的高和宽,计算出标注出的物体在图片中的相对像素区域:
xmin.append(float(x) / image_width)
xmax.append(float(x + width) / image_width)
ymin.append(float(y) / image_height)
ymax.append(float(y + height) / image_height)
这样做,即使在模型训练之前,对图像进行缩放,也能够准确表示被标注的物体。
解释完原理,最后说一下为什么会出现训练过程中loss不下降,在测试集上物体无法被正确标注的原因。
这是因为python脚本在解析原始图像数据的宽和高是从xml文件中去解析的,而xml文件中的height和width可能和图像的真实height和width不一致,至少我在处理自己数据集的时候,用labelimg这个工具标出的xml文件中的height和width与实际图片不一致
这里就可以明显看出来,图片的高和宽是500281,而xml文件中的宽和高是1280720(估计是一个默认值),所以导致这样解析出的图像宽和高正确,计算出的图像的像素区域也不正确,换言之,喂给模型的数据就是有问题的,那么模型自然无法在测试集上有好的表现。
