                    This is the exception thrown by the structural_svm_object_detection_problem
                    when it detects that the image_scanner_type it is working with is incapable
                    of representing the truth rectangles it has been asked to predict.

                    This kind of problem can happen when the test_box_overlap object indicates
                    that two ground truth rectangles overlap and are therefore not allowed to
                    both be output at the same time.  Or alternatively, if there are not enough
                    detection templates to cover the variety of truth rectangle shapes.

                    and it must contain objects which can be accepted by image_scanner_type::load().

                WHAT THIS OBJECT REPRESENTS
                    This object is a tool for learning the parameter vector needed to use a
                    scan_image_pyramid, scan_fhog_pyramid, scan_image_custom, or
                    scan_image_boxes object.

                    It learns the parameter vector by formulating the problem as a structural
                    SVM problem.  The exact details of the method are described in the paper
                    Max-Margin Object Detection by Davis E. King (http://arxiv.org/abs/1502.00046).

                          matches any of the ignore rectangles or if it fails to output a
                          detection for an ignore rectangle.  Therefore, if there are objects
