// When I was creating the dlib vehicle detection dataset I had to label all the cars
// in each image. MMOD requires all cars to be labeled, since any unlabeled part of an
// image is implicitly assumed to be not a car, and the algorithm will use it as
// negative training data. So every car must be labeled, either with a normal
// rectangle or an "ignore" rectangle that tells MMOD to simply ignore it (i.e. neither
// treat it as a thing to detect nor as negative training data).
//
// In our present case, many images contain very tiny cars in the distance, ones that
// are essentially just dark smudges. It's not reasonable to expect the CNN
// architecture we defined to detect such vehicles. However, I erred on the side of
// having more complete annotations when creating the dataset. So when I labeled these
// images I labeled many of these really difficult cases as vehicles to detect.
//
// So the first thing we are going to do is clean up our dataset a little bit. In
// particular, we are going to mark boxes smaller than 35*35 pixels as ignore since
// only really small and blurry cars appear at those sizes. We will also mark boxes
// that are heavily overlapped by another box as ignore. We do this because we want to
// allow for stronger non-maximum suppression logic in the learned detector, since that
// will help make it easier to learn a good detector.
//
// To explain this non-max suppression idea further it's important to understand how
// the detector works. Essentially, sliding window detectors scan all image locations
// and ask "is there a car here?". If there really is a car in a specific location in
// an image then usually many slightly different sliding window locations will produce
// high detection scores, indicating that there is a car at those locations. If we
// just stopped there then each car would produce multiple detections. But that isn't
// what we want. We want each car to produce just one detection. So it's common for
// detectors to include "non-maximum suppression" logic which simply takes the
// strongest detection and then deletes all detections "close to" the strongest. This
// is a simple post-processing step that can eliminate duplicate detections. However,
// we have to define what "close to" means. We can do this by looking at your training
// data and checking how close the closest target boxes are to each other, and then
// picking a "close to" measure that doesn't suppress those target boxes but is
// otherwise as tight as possible. This is exactly what the mmod_options object does
// by default.
//
// Importantly, this means that if your training dataset contains an image with two
// target boxes that really overlap a whole lot, then the non-maximum suppression
// "close to" measure will be configured to allow detections to really overlap a whole
// lot. On the other hand, if your dataset didn't contain any overlapped boxes at all,
// then the non-max suppression logic would be configured to filter out any boxes that
// overlapped at all, and thus would be performing a much stronger non-max suppression.
//
// Why does this matter? Well, remember that we want to avoid duplicate detections.
// If non-max suppression just kills everything in a really wide area around a car then
// the CNN doesn't really need to learn anything about avoiding duplicate detections.
// However, if non-max suppression only suppresses a tiny area around each detection
// then the CNN will need to learn to output small detection scores for those areas of
// the image not suppressed. The smaller the non-max suppression region the more the
// CNN has to learn and the more difficult the learning problem will become. This is
// why we remove highly overlapped objects from the training dataset. That is, we do
// it so the non-max suppression logic will be able to be reasonably effective. Here
// we are ensuring that any boxes that are entirely contained by another are
// suppressed. We also ensure that boxes with an intersection over union of 0.5 or
// greater are suppressed. This will improve the resulting detector since it will be
// able to use more aggressive non-max suppression settings.

// The dlib vehicle detection dataset doesn't contain any detections with
// really extreme aspect ratios. However, some datasets do, often because of
// bad labeling. So it's a good idea to check for that and either eliminate
// those boxes or set them to ignore. Although, this depends on your
// application.
//
// For instance, if your dataset has boxes with an aspect ratio
// of 10 then you should think about what that means for the network
// architecture. Does the receptive field even cover the entirety of the box
// in those cases? Do you care about these boxes? Are they labeling errors?
// I find that many people will download some dataset from the internet and
// just take it as given. They run it through some training algorithm and take
// the dataset as unchallengeable truth. But many datasets are full of
// labeling errors. There are also a lot of datasets that aren't full of
// errors, but are annotated in a sloppy and inconsistent way. Fixing those
// errors and inconsistencies can often greatly improve models trained from
// such data. It's almost always worth the time to try and improve your
// training dataset.
//
// In any case, my point is that there are other types of dataset cleaning you
// could put here. What exactly you need depends on your application. But you
// should carefully consider it and not take your dataset as a given. The work
// of creating a good detector is largely about creating a high quality
// training dataset.

// Our vehicle detection dataset has basically 3 different types of boxes. Square
// boxes, tall and skinny boxes (e.g. semi trucks), and short and wide boxes (e.g.
// sedans). Here we are telling the MMOD algorithm that a vehicle is recognizable as
// long as the longest box side is at least 70 pixels long and the shortest box side is
// at least 30 pixels long. mmod_options will use these parameters to decide how large
// each of the sliding windows needs to be so as to be able to detect all the vehicles.
// Since our dataset has basically these 3 different aspect ratios, it will decide to
// use 3 different sliding windows. This means the final con layer in the network will
// have 3 filters, one for each of these aspect ratios.
//
// Another thing to consider when setting the sliding window size is the "stride" of
// your network. The network we defined above downsamples the image by a factor of 8x
// in the first few layers. So when the sliding windows are scanning the image, they
// are stepping over it with a stride of 8 pixels. If you set the sliding window size
// too small then the stride will become an issue. For instance, if you set the
// sliding window size to 4 pixels, then it means a 4x4 window will be moved by 8
// pixels at a time when scanning. This is obviously a problem since 75% of the image
// won't even be visited by the sliding window. So you need to set the window size to
// be big enough relative to the stride of your network. In our case, the windows are
// at least 30 pixels in length, so being moved by 8 pixel steps is fine.

// This setting is very important and dataset specific. The vehicle detection dataset
// contains boxes that are marked as "ignore", as we discussed above. Some of them are
// ignored because we set ignore to true in the above code. However, the xml files
// also contained a lot of ignore boxes. Some of them are large boxes that encompass
// large parts of an image and the intention is to have everything inside those boxes
// be ignored. Therefore, we need to tell the MMOD algorithm to do that, which we do
// by setting options.overlaps_ignore appropriately.
//
// But first, we need to understand exactly what this option does. The MMOD loss
// is essentially counting the number of false alarms + missed detections produced by
// the detector for each image. During training, the code is running the detector on
// each image in a mini-batch and looking at its output and counting the number of
// mistakes. The optimizer tries to find parameters settings that minimize the number
// of detector mistakes.
//
// This overlaps_ignore option allows you to tell the loss that some outputs from the
// detector should be totally ignored, as if they never happened. In particular, if a
// detection overlaps a box in the training data with ignore==true then that detection
// is ignored. This overlap is determined by calling
// options.overlaps_ignore(the_detection, the_ignored_training_box). If it returns
// true then that detection is ignored.
//
// You should read the documentation for test_box_overlap, the class type for
// overlaps_ignore for full details. However, the gist is that the default behavior is
// to only consider boxes as overlapping if their intersection over union is > 0.5.
// However, the dlib vehicle detection dataset contains large boxes that are meant to
// mask out large areas of an image. So intersection over union isn't an appropriate
// way to measure "overlaps with box" in this case. We want any box that is contained
// inside one of these big regions to be ignored, even if the detection box is really
// small. So we set overlaps_ignore to behave that way with this line.
