Description

It is more a question, I would like to understand why the training does not use the background as a class equal to 0.
The documentation of RetinaNet stipulates:

num_classes ([int] – number of output classes of the model (including the background)

It would make class Tree=1.

Research direction

The issue names no repository files or tests. Start by comparing DeepForest's training label convention with RetinaNet's documented class-count behavior, then trace the training and model entry points to identify where the background convention is defined. Done means the rationale is established and the relevant documentation is clarified.
