OrthogonalDet

Code for CVPR 2024 paper Exploring Orthogonality in Open World Object Detection.

Requirements

• Linux or macOS with Python ≥ 3.8.
• Install PyTorch ≥ 1.9.0, torchvision, Detectron2, timm, and einops.
• Prepare datasets:
  • Download COCO and PASCAL VOC.
  • Convert annotation format using coco_to_voc.py.
  • Move all images to datasets/JPEGImages and annotations to datasets/Annotations.

Getting Started

• Training for open world object detection:

  bash run_owod.sh

  Evaluation for open world object detection:

  bash test_owod.sh

• Experiment for incremental object detection:

  bash run_iod.sh

• Visualize the results:

  python demo.py -i LIST_OF_IMAGES

• Note that we are using an ImageNet pre-trained backbone. To switch to a DINO pre-trained backbone, please download the model weights and then follow these instructions.

Results

The following results were obtained with four NVIDIA 2080 Ti GPUs, using the checkpoints at this link.

• Open world object detection on M-OWODB and S-OWODB:

  

• Incremental object detection on PASCAL VOC:
