How to use DOVER_plus_plus.pth?

[turian]

I tried changing the pth in dover.yml to DOVER_plus_plus.pth, but it doesn't work.

Can you show in the README how to use it?

@turian Hi there!
It seems I managed to make it work

Here are the instructions:

1. Copy the DOVER.yml file or replace in the existing the last line:
   test_load_path: ./pretrained_weights/DOVER_plus_plus.pth

2. The DOVER_plus_plus.pth seems to contain additional data and it has two keys: "state_dict" and "validation_results". But we need only the state dict, so either resave to a new file "state_dict" values from the original checkpoint, or modify the code of model weights loading:

evaluator = DOVER(**opt["model"]["args"]).to(args.device)
evaluator.load_state_dict(
    torch.load(opt["test_load_path"], map_location=args.device)['state_dict']
    )

Hope it helps

would Dover++ be better than the Dover?
