Strange training loss and test result about manydepth HOT 3 CLOSED

Hi, thanks for trying out the repo!

Interesting - yes that loss does appear to be very low right from the start. I just tried a fresh github clone and see an initial loss (i.e. batch 0) of 0.34110, which seems more sensible.

Can you take a look at the tensorboard logs and switch to the images tab? Does it look like the images are being loaded correctly? And if so, how do the disparity predictions look? Feel free to post a screenshot.

A loss that low straight away suggests that it might be loading blank images. If you downloaded the raw KITTI and have png images then try adding a --png flag to your training command.

In the meantime I will push a small fix to raise an error if no image files are found (currently it's caught in a try except block).

Thanks a lot

You are right, I am using png files, which needs a flag even when I am in monodepth2. But I did not expect this to be error-less/warning-less. Thank you for your answer
