MSCoco 2014 Train Images do not Match the Annotations

[clee1060]

The website for Coco-Text (https://bgshih.github.io/cocotext/) says to download the 2014 train images

However, when I downloaded the train images from the linked website, several of the images specified in the annotation file did not exist in the folder I downloaded from MSCoco. For example, the annotation file specifies "COCO_train2014_000000540965.jpg," however the 2014 training images I downloaded did not contain this image.

Am I downloading the wrong images, or have these images been updated since the website has been updated?

+1. I have the same concern, waiting for a solution...

Since it has been a couple years since we annotated the images, have you checked if the images have been removed from the MS COCO train set?

Also, how many images seem to be missing?

The MSCOCO link is unavailable, and I dowloaded the coco train 2014, but it does not contain any image with text. Is it the version problem? How can I find coco-text. Please help me.
