about testing new datasets

[mehmetgur]

Hi! Thank you for this repo. I was wondering, in order to test with our own dataset, do we have to create masked objects along with the original images? I did prepare my annotations with PixelAnnotation tool, but detections were not quite on the same level with your results. Was my method correct? Or do you have any other way for preparing annotations and working with test bash script?

any ideas??

hi @mehmetgur, you only need annotations to validate the method. In case you only want to run it, you can use as input "masks" a uniform black image!
