Testing without Mask

[ghost]

Hello! And thank you for your recent work, I do sincerely apologize for a silly question. I am new to the coding world, and was curious if it was possible to use your testing.py, without the mask requirement? That is, when using the test.py, it seems to be looking for a mask folder, from the dataset.py setup. Was hoping to compare a few complex images I do not have masks for to see how well it performs.

Hey, the authors require the masks for the ground truth evaluations, however, with a customized dataset, there might not be a real ground-truth mask.
For your concern, I think you could modify the test.py and remove the related usage of the masks.

CTDNet/src/test.py

Line 35 in 80387d1

for image, mask, shape, name in self.loader:

And most importantly, modify this line with return image, shape, name

CTDNet/src/dataset.py

Line 109 in 80387d1

return image, mask, shape, name

Hope these two modifications help you~
