Alpha parameter in edgeBoxesMex.c

[Addhi86]

Hi,

I have a problem in understanding the Alpha parameter from the edgeBoxesMex.c file. In which function the Alpha parameter is used? I want to see how the step size alpha is related to the IoU

Hi,
I have a problem. When I run the python code, the matlab code doesn't run, so the mat file is empty.
the problem is TypeError: buffer is too small for requested array

@Addhi86 - See edgeBoxesMex.cpp lines 198-200. The steps are based on alpha so that when a step is taken it changes the IoU in a consistent manner... I know that's not very clear, but if you play with some algebra/basic geometry it should make sense :) There's some more details in the paper.

@Tom405 - I don't have any Python code for this so I'm not sure what you're referring to. If there is Python code, it is third party code so I can't help you with that.
