Difference on accuracy between your results and my reproduction

[on-your-way]

Hi, I have tried to reproduce your results of LFFD v1 on the WIDER_FACE_val dataset. The training data I used is produced by your method:

1. Input the WIDER FACE train dataset (downloaded from the official website);
2. Generate the train_list.txt file by reformat_WIDERFACE.py;
3. Generate the *.pkl file by pickle_provider.py And then, run configuration_10_560_25L_8scales_v1.py (specify the *.pkl file generated just now). The only parameter I have modified is the param_num_thread_train_dataiter at the line 56 (change it from 4 to 10). After 1,400,000 iterations, I evaluated it on the WIDER_FACE_val dataset using standard tools released by the WIDER FACE benchmark. However, my results of accuracy are quite lower than yours, which are obtained by face_detection/saved_model/configuration_10_560_25L_8scales_v1/train_10_560_25L_8scales_v1_iter_1400000.params you provided in the project. Here are details: ======================================== easy medium hard mine 0.885 0.853 0.681 yours 0.896 0.861 0.710 diff -1.2% -0.9% -4.1% ======================================== I can not figure it out really. May you give me some help? thanks

Sorry, I know my questio is offtopic, but can you help me run LFD on windows? I get an error using libturbojpeg.

I did build it using Visual Studio 16, but it isn't working.

Thanks in advance.

@antoniojmabreu I have encountered many errors on Windows just like you, so I turn to Linux, and then everything works well.

[antoniojmabreu]

Thank you!

I will switch to Linux then.

I believe this drop in accuracy is normal
