SSD: Single Shot MultiBox Detector Configuration and Usage Summary

Posted on Edited on Disqus:

Experimental Environment

  • Ubuntu 16.04
  • CPU only, because my own machine had no NVIDIA card. AMD is all tears.

Environment Configuration

Basically follow the official documentation. Here I only show the parts that differ from the documentation.

Makefile.confile

  • line 8: CPU only
  • line 79, 80: support for python3
  • line 81: /usr/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/numpy/core/include -> /usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/numpy/core/include
  • line 95: fix fatal of hdf5

Problems Encountered

./include/caffe/util/hdf5.hpp:6:18: fatal error: hdf5.h: No such file or directory

Only Ubuntu 15.10+ versions should encounter this problem. The reason is that the paths of the hdf5 header files and libraries changed in newer versions.
