Getting Started

Train a model

Run the following command to train a model using a specified config.

mim train mmdet <path-to-config> --gpus 4 --launcher pytorch

If an out-of-memory error occurs on iSAID dataset, please uncomment L22-L24 in the dataset code and try again. This will filter out a few images with more than 1,000 objects, largely reducing the memory cost.

Test a model and evaluate results

Run the following command to test a model and evaluate results.

mim test mmdet <path-to-config> --checkpoint <path-to-checkpoint> --gpus 4 --launcher pytorch

Model Zoo

We provide multiple pre-trained models here. All the models are trained using 4 NVIDIA A100 GPUs and are evaluated using the default metrics of the datasets.
