Questions about parallel SPPE?

[Sakuralala]

Hey,in the parallel SPPE branch,how to calculate the loss between the center-located ground truth poses and the output?And how to make the center-located ground truth pose image?Is it just cropped from the origin image?

To calculate the loss between the center-located ground truth poses and the output, we use the same loss as the main SPPE.
The center-located ground truth pose image is cropped from the original image using ground truth bounding box.

So what if I discard the parallel SPPE and just use the main branch?Should I add a new loss or just train the net as before(with stn but without parallel SPPE)? @Fang-Haoshu

[Fang-Haoshu]

you can train it as before, but a question is why you want to do that..

emmm...poor gpu memory?

Oh I see, then you may try using a smaller batch size and enlarge the iter_size. Refer to the opt.lua
