Hello, everyone. I would like to confirm the submission method with you. I hope someone can help me with this. When I have one or more trained models, I intend to read the SampleSubmission.csv file and fill in the confidence, ymin, xmin, ymax, xmax fields from an image in Image_ID and a class provided in class feature. In other words, the model doesn't need to infer class since SampleSubmission.csv is providing this information, only confidence, ymin, xmin, ymax, xmax.
Also, what is the purpose of the Test.csv file?
The model(s) should be able to infer the class too. Depending on the accuracy of your trained models, you will get different predictions from the ones in the SampleSubmission.csv.
Thanks for your answer.
What is the purpose of the Test.csv file since SampleSubmission.csv is providing image.jpg names? I thought my model should read the image, predict the class with certain confidence and predict ymin, xmin, ymax, xmax. In other words I'm using SampleSubmission.csv as my reference for the submission so I don't understand why do I need the Test.csv file.
Test.csv contains a list of image identifiers (IDs) that tell you which images to run inference (prediction) on. These images are not used for training but for evaluating the model’s performance
After you've trained your model on your dataset, you use the images specified in Test.csv for testing or inference. This means your model will take these images, make predictions about the objects or classes present in them, and output key information.
The output from the model typically includes: Class: The predicted category or object (e.g., WBC, Trophozites). Confidence: A score that indicates how confident the model is about its prediction. Bounding Box Coordinates: This includes the values for xmin, ymin, xmax, and ymax, which define the area of the image where the object is located.
Once the model has made predictions on the test images, you save the results in a new CSV file. This file becomes your submission file, which will typically have columns like: Image ID: The ID of the image. Class: The predicted class or label. Confidence: The confidence score. xmin, ymin, xmax, ymax: The coordinates of the bounding boxes.
Then submit this file to be scored
Thanks a lot!
