Error when running "init_detector" in inference

[Jiahao Wang]

Thanks for the nice work.

I followed the installation instructions but ran into an error when running inference. The error happened when init_detector, which then used mmdet, mmcv, and importlib.

Do you have any idea why will this happen? Is that a package version issue?

I have seen issue 4. However, I am using the recommended versions for the packages:

• mmcv-full: 1.7.1
• mmdet: 2.26.0
• mmpose: 0.28.0

The error is still there.

Sorry, it turned out to be a broken mmdet_faster_rcnn_r50_fpn_coco.py on my side. Re-download from here and modify some files following FAQ solved my problem.
