negative Examples

[JonaGanz]

Hi, I'm trying to train the model on a modified version of the xView dataset which leads me to some questions.

1. I would like to add some negative examples to my data set, i.e. pictures where no object of a class can be found. Is this possible and if it is, how do I have to write them into the tfrecord file.

2. As seen in the instruction for training on the VOC dataset , the model needs a .names file which seems to have the class names in it. How can I generate such a file?

Thank you in advance.
