[Question] Can you please upload the pickled dataset that you used for training SegLink?

You do not need the pickled data. Simply replace

with open('gt_util_synthtext_seglink.pkl', 'rb') as f:
    gt_util = pickle.load(f)

with

 gt_util = GTUtility('data/SynthText/', polygon=True)

The gt_util_synthtext_seglink.pkl is only to speed up the parsing of the dataset. It is serialized in datasets.ipynb and does not contain the image data itself, only filenames, bounding boxes and so on. See also #1 ...

Thanks for the quick reply. Did you get the SynthText dataset from here http://www.robots.ox.ac.uk/~vgg/data/scenetext/ ?

[mvoelk]

Yes!

Alright thanks!

Could someone who has generated the .pkl file PR it? I'm on a limited bandwidth network and would like to run the end2end notebook.
