Anchor生成

每行的4个值[x1,y1,x2,y2]代表矩形左上和右下角点坐标。9个矩形共有3种形状，长宽比为大约为：width:height = [1:1, 1:2, 2:1]三种，如图。实际上通过anchors就引入了检测中常用到的多尺度方法。

def generate_anchors(scales, ratios, shape, feature_stride, anchor_stride):
    """
    scales: 1D array of anchor sizes in pixels. Example: [32, 64, 128]
    ratios: 1D array of anchor ratios of width/height. Example: [0.5, 1, 2]
    shape: [height, width] spatial shape of the feature map over which
            to generate anchors.
    feature_stride: Stride of the feature map relative to the image in pixels.
    anchor_stride: Stride of anchors on the feature map. For example, if the
        value is 2 then generate anchors for every other feature map pixel.
