Training crashes on Cityscapes

[kshitijagrwl]

I'm training PSPNet using the train.py script provided - i've tried running it on GTX1080 and TitanX . It always crashes after about 500 steps. Log below:

step 590         loss = 0.266, (0.723 sec/step)

Maybe you need to check your feed data at 500 steps, I guess the size is not same as before so that the crashes occur.

I was strained with the same error too but however after a close at the error and debugging, i found out the solution. Check the cityscapes_train_list.txt file in the list folder and make sure that you do not have any extra/empty lines. It is basically trying to take the empty line as an input but not able to find the required image since it is not mentioned. Hence the error "has insufficient elements (requested 1, current size 0)". It is a simple logical error and a code limitation. @RaceSu @kshitijagrwl
