Features

• Train an open-vocabulary detector with web-scale image-text pairs
• Align regions and words by co-occurrence instead of region-text similarity
• State-of-the-art performance on open-vocabulary LVIS
• Deployed with modern visual foudation models
• Intergated with roboflow to automatically label images for training a small, fine-tuned model

Prepare Datasets

We use LVIS and Conceptual Caption (CC3M) for OV-LVIS experimets, COCO for OV-COCO experiments, and Objects365 for cross-dataset evaluation. Before starting processing, please download the (selected) datasets from the official websites and place or sim-link them under CoDet/datasets/. CoDet/datasets/metadata/ is the preprocessed meta-data (included in the repo). Please refer to DATA.md for more details.

Inference

To test with custom images/videos, run

python demo.py --config-file [config_file] --input [your_image_file] --output [output_file_path] --vocabulary lvis --opts MODEL.WEIGHTS [model_weights]

Or you can customize the test vocabulary, e.g.,

python demo.py --config-file [config_file] --input [your_image_file] --output [output_file_path] --vocabulary custom --custom_vocabulary headphone,webcam,paper,coffe --confidence-threshold 0.3 --opts MODEL.WEIGHTS [model_weights]

To evaluate a pre-trained model, run

python train_net.py --num-gpus $GPU_NUM --config-file /path/to/config --eval-only MODEL.WEIGHTS /path/to/ckpt

To evaluate a pre-trained model on Objects365 (cross-dataset evaluation), run

python train_net.py --num-gpus $GPU_NUM --config-file /path/to/config --eval-only MODEL.WEIGHTS /path/to/ckpt DATASETS.TEST "('objects365_v2_val',)" MODEL.RESET_CLS_TESTS True MODEL.TEST_CLASSIFIERS "('datasets/metadata/o365_clip_a+cnamefix.npy',)" MODEL.TEST_NUM_CLASSES "(365,)" MODEL.MASK_ON False

Training

Training configurations used by the paper are listed in CoDet/configs. Most config files require pre-trained model weights for initialization (indicated by MODEL.WEIGHTS in the config file). Please train or download the corresponding pre-trained models and place them under CoDet/models/ before training.

To train on a single node, run

python train_net.py --num-gpus $GPU_NUM --config-file /path/to/config

Note: By default, we use 8 V100 for training with ResNet50 or SwinB, and 16 A100 for training with EVA02-L. Please remember to re-scale the learning rate accordingly if you are using a different number of GPUs for training.
