'Cannot add tensor to the batch: number of elements does not match. Shapes are: [tensor]: [585,1024,3], [batch]: [600,799,3]

I am trying to train a model, at first I had dataset of 5000 images and training worked fine, Now I have added couple of more images and now my dataset contains 6,423‬ images. I am using python 3.6.1 on Ubuntu 18.04, my tensorflow version is 1.15 & numpy version is 1.16 (had same versions before and it worked fine). Now when I use:

python model_main.py --logtostderr --pipeline_config_path=training/faster_rcnn_resnet50_coco.config --model_dir=training

It starts settings up for couple of minutes and after these lines:

INFO:tensorflow:Saving checkpoints for 0 into training/model.ckpt.

I get following erros:

and training stops.



Solution 1:[1]

It seems that the new images you've added have a resolution of 585x1024, which differs from the size that's expected by the model i.e. 600x799.

If so, then the solution is to resize these new images accordingly.

Solution 2:[2]

If you need batch size > 1, you can resize the images to a uniform size with the right image_resizer in the config, one of the ones defined in the image_resizer protobuf file, which I assume is what is used to parse that part of the config.

For example (stolen from here):

image_resizer {
  fixed_shape_resizer {
    height: 600
    width: 800
  }
}

This seems to fix the problem for me.

Solution 3:[3]

Changing the batch_size to 1 fixed this issue for me.

Solution 4:[4]

In minibatch, all images must have the same size, so you must resize all photos to the same size or set the batch size to 1
