Training with Confidence for Global and Local Networks
saikumar96 opened this issue · comments
From the paper:
"We first train both parts of the framework individually and use a pretrained ERFNet on Cityscapes [22] for our global network."
I was wondering how global and local networks are trained whether with or without confidence maps and how is the final end to end training done, with these pre-trained sub-networks
Hi @saikumar96,
Yes you are right. Both parts can be trained individually and later everything can be trained together. When you use skip connections between the local and global network, it's not that important. Differences are negligable. This version can be trained end-to-end without problem.

What I want to know is whether you first train global net and local net separately, and the combine then for end to end?
Hi @LiangliangGuo,
I initially did it like you described.
Now in the latest version, I simply trained it end-to-end. It should give you the same numbers.
Best,
