Disable augmentation in tensorflow training pipeline

问题

I googled around a bit but I only found questions about enabling data augmentation.

I followed this tutorial but with my own dataset (only one class). I already performed data augmentation on my dataset so I deleted the responsible lines from the pipeline.config.

Now my pipeline looks like this

model {
  ssd {
    num_classes: 1
    image_resizer {
      fixed_shape_resizer {
        height: 640
        width: 640
      }
    }

I started the training but with tensorboard I can see that the training images are very very distorted.

For reference normal images look like this

As you can see I try to detect Kellogs boxes. The dataset is generated using blender (soda can and fence are to have some sort of decoy objects and to be able to cover the boxes partially)

Now my question: How do I disably any sort of data augmentation in the object detection api? The map is very very low because of these distorted images used during the training process.

回答1:

This is an issue with the normalization of the image. It does not affect your training. However, if you want the images to be displayed correctly in tensorboard, then normalize them between (0, 1). Check this link for some possible changes.

Note: normalizing between (-1, 1) has been reported to create the same issue.
