We provide a setup script for install simpledet and preppare the coco dataset. If you use this script, you can skip to the Quick Start.
We provide a conda installation here for Debian/Ubuntu system. To use a pre-built docker or singularity images, please refer to INSTALL.md for more information.

If the last line execute successfully, the average running speed of Faster R-CNN R-50 FPN will be reported. And you have successfuly setup SimpleDet. Now you can head up to the next section to prepare your dataset.
We provide a step by step preparation for the COCO dataset below.

Everything is configurable from the config file, all the changes should be out of source.
One experiment is a directory in experiments folder with the same name as the config file.
E.g. r50_fixbn_1x.py is the name of a config file

The models
directory contains SOTA models implemented in SimpletDet.
Simpledet supports many popular detection methods and here we take Faster R-CNN as a typical example to show how a detector is built.
DetectionAugmentation
.
Norm2DImage
and Resize2DImageBbox
.AnchorTarget2D
, which generates anchors and corresponding anchor targets for training RPN.FasterRcnn
. The key components are listed as follow:
Backbone
provides interfaces to build backbone networks, e.g. ResNet and ResNext.Neck
provides interfaces to build complementary feature extraction layers for backbone networks, e.g. FPNNeck
builds Top-down pathway for Feature Pyramid Network.RpnHead
aims to build classification and regression layers to generate proposal outputs for RPN. Meanwhile, it also provides interplace to generate sampled proposals for the subsequent R-CNN.RoiExtractor
extracts features for each roi (proposal) based on the R-CNN features generated by Backbone
and Neck
.BboxHead
builds the R-CNN layers for proposal refinement.The flexibility of simpledet framework makes it easy to build different detectors. We take TridentNet as an example to demonstrate how to build a custom detector simply based on the Faster R-CNN framework.
DetectionAugmentation
.
TridentAnchorTarget2D
is implemented to generate anchors for multiple branches and filter anchors for scale-aware training scheme.Backbone
according to the descriptions in the paper. We also provide a TridentRpnHead
to generate filtered proposals in RPN to implement the scale-aware scheme. Other components are shared the same with original Faster-RCNN.Yuntao Chen, Chenxia Han, Yanghao Li, Zehao Huang, Naiyan Wang, Xiaotao Chen, Jingqiu Zhou, Zhen Wei, Zehui Chen, Zhaoxiang Zhang, Bo Ke
