• How to reproduce the issue ?

Hello, I’m having a problem running the inference for the BodyPoseNet model with the custom dataset that I created, I can run the training just fine without any errors but when I run the inference command to test the model I get no detections from the model. I tried testing with the same images directly using the pre-trained model and it detects just fine. I already checked the annotations format and it is identical to the one provided in the tutorial. The only thing different from the tutorial is that I had to create the masks manually using the bounding box of the keypoints because my dataset does not provide the segmentation.

2

How about running with the default notebook? Is it fine?

3

Yes

4

Hi @Morganh, I just checked training with the coco dataset used in the notebook and it worked fine, so the problem seems to be with my custom dataset, do you have any suggestion for what the problem would be?

5

Could you share the training log? Is the loss decreasing?

6

Okay so today I was going to run the training again to save the logs but it gave me the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

return bound(*args, **kwds)

ValueError: cannot reshape array of size 51 into shape (18,3)

I haven’t changed anything from the last training.

7

Please set to below in coco_spec.json
“num_joints”: 17,

More, I suggest you to refer to some config files inside the notebook.
For example,
cv_samples_v1.3.0/bpnet/data_pose_config/coco_spec.json
cv_samples_v1.3.0/bpnet/model_pose_config/bpnet_18joints.json

I trained the model for 5 epochs using only 17 joints and still no detections, here’s the log:

The loss is not decreasing.

Can you attach below files?

  • bpnet_18joints.json
  • coco_spec.json
  • bpnet_train_m1_coco.yaml

More, if possible, please share your dataset with us to reproduce.

unfortunately I can’t share the dataset because the images belong to a client, but if it helps I can share the annotations.

Several comments here.

  1. Are your training images 960x544 ? How many training images?
  2. Can you set larger “num_epoch: xxx” and try again?
  3. Could you try to run inference against the training dataset to check if there are detections?
  4. Yes, please share the annotations as well. Thanks.
  5. Can you attach the inference yaml file?

  1. Are your training images 960x544 ? How many training images?
    Yes. they are. 1659 images.
  2. Can you set larger “num_epoch: xxx” and try again?
    Yes, but I will have to run the training with a lower image dimension because of the memory , when it ends I will tell you the results.
  3. Could you try to run inference against the training dataset to check if there are detections?
    Still no detections.
  4. Yes, please share the annotations as well. Thanks.

I think you did not set correct input_shape.

Please modify

input_shape: [960, 544]

to

input_shape: [544, 960]

Changed the input_shape but still no detections, Im running the training with more epochs now

Okay the training finished, I changed the image size to 256, 256 because of GPU memory usage and trained for 100 epochs. The final loss was:

INFO 2022-05-23 19:02:06,767| tensorflow: epoch = 99.11931818181819, loss = 70.093704, step = 17445 (30.258 sec)

So the loss actually decreased this time but still no detections.

Could you try to deploy the model in deepstream to check if it works?

I’ve been trying to run in deepstream but I get the following error: “invalid input pafmap dimension.”

I tested with dimensions 256x256 and trained again with the default one in deepstream 384x288, both gave me the same error.
