How to install coco_annotations_minival.tgz?

[virilo]

Hi,

I'm trying to train the example network at https://github.com/facebookresearch/Detectron/blob/master/GETTING_STARTED.md#2-coco-dataset

The instructions refer to "coco_2014_minival (which must be properly installed)".
I wasn't very sure what to do and I unzipped https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/detectron/coco/coco_annotations_minival.tgz and renamed the files as follows:

coconut
| _ annotations
    | _ instances_minival2014.json -> instances_train2014.json
    | _ instances_valminusminival2014.json -> instances_val2014.json
    | _ person_keypoints_valminusminival2014.json -> person_keypoints_train2014.json
    | _ person_keypoints_minival2014.json -> person_keypoints_val2014.json

I have compiled the current github master of Detectron and the current master of caffe2 to use CUDA 9 and cuDNN 7

When I execute this:

python2 tools/train_net.py \
--cfg configs/getting_started/tutorial_1gpu_e2e_faster_rcnn_R-50-FPN.yaml \
OUTPUT_DIR /home/detectron/detectron-output

I receive the following error:

However if I use the full dataset annotations it starts training without errors. I downloaded these annotations from:
http://msvocds.blob.core.windows.net/annotations-1-0-3/instances_train-val2014.zip
http://msvocds.blob.core.windows.net/annotations-1-0-3/person_keypoints_trainval2014.zip
http://msvocds.blob.core.windows.net/annotations-1-0-3/captions_train-val2014.zip

How should I install coco_annotations_minival.tgz?

[xpngzhng]

you do not need to rename the json files, just put them into the annotations folder, leaving the json file names unchanged

[ir413]

Hi @virilo, as @XupingZHENG pointed out, there is no need to rename minival annotations.

Please read the COCO dataset setup instructions here.

Relevant extract:

To complete installation of the COCO dataset, you will need to copy the minival and valminusminival json annotation files to the coco/annotations directory referenced above.

[virilo]

Thanks a lot @XupingZHENG, @ir413

I didn't realize that the example trains with full COCO 2014, but infers in COCO 2014 minival. So I had to put all the .json in the same folder ... as the instructions and the yaml file say ... :$

[isalirezag]

can you please explain how to make the instance_minival2017 and instances_valminusminival2017 json files

[ir413]

@ir413 the page that you provide aint working ...

Updated the link, it should work now. Sorry for the inconvenience.

can you please explain how to make the instance_minival2017 and instances_valminusminival2017 json files

There are no minival and valminusminival 2017 splits. Please read the instructions from the page linked above carefully (this section describes how coco 2014 splits are related to the coco 2017 splits).
