train on COCO dataset

I'm getting the error on COCO dataset also. Any solution?

@237014845 hi, you solved the problem by modifying this line: update_vis_plot(epoch, loc_loss, conf_loss, iter_plot, epoch_plot, 'append', epoch_size)? In my opinion, the update_vis_plot function keeps updating parameter win1, i.e. iter_plot instead of the expected epoch_plot.
And I think through just moving the line epoch += 1 before update_vis_plot, this problem can be solved.

[chanajianyu]

anyone solve the problem?

[salt-fisher]

@chanajianyu I have faced the same problem, and adjust the code as your point. It works, thx

[chensonglu]

@d-li14 According to your fix, it works, thx.

Hello, does anyone know the reason? Thank you！

[SalahAdDin]

i'm getting the same error with COCO set.

[SalahAdDin]

@d-li14
d-li14@36fc354 It is working for me, at least until now.
What's about making a PR?

[Monster-Zhang]

the num_class in config.py should +1 and in ssd.py are not

It works,

if args.visdom and iteration != 0 and (iteration % epoch_size == 0):
    epoch += 1
    update_vis_plot(epoch, loc_loss, conf_loss, epoch_plot, None, 'append', epoch_size)

gooood!!
