BorderDet

This project provides an implementation for "BorderDet: Border Feature for Dense Object Detection" (ECCV2020 Oral) on PyTorch.

For the reason that experiments in the paper were conducted using internal framework, this project reimplements them on cvpods and reports detailed comparisons below.

Requirements

• cvpods

Get Started

• install cvpods locally (requires cuda to compile)

python3 -m pip install 'git+https://github.com/Megvii-BaseDetection/cvpods.git'
# (add --user if you don't have permission)

# Or, to install it from a local clone:
git clone https://github.com/Megvii-BaseDetection/cvpods.git
python3 -m pip install -e cvpods

# Or,
pip install -r requirements.txt
python3 setup.py build develop

• prepare datasets

cd /path/to/cvpods
cd datasets
ln -s /path/to/your/coco/dataset coco

• Train & Test

git clone https://github.com/Megvii-BaseDetection/BorderDet.git
cd BorderDet/playground/detection/coco/borderdet/borderdet.res50.fpn.coco.800size.1x  # for example

Train

pods_train --num-gpus 8

Test

pods_test --num-gpus 8 \
    MODEL.WEIGHTS /path/to/your/save_dir/ckpt.pth # optional
    OUTPUT_DIR /path/to/your/save_dir # optional

Multi node training

sudo apt install net-tools ifconfig

pods_train --num-gpus 8 --num-machines N --machine-rank 0/1/.../N-1 --dist-url "tcp://MASTER_IP:port"

Results on COCO

For your convenience, we provide the performance of the following trained models. All models are trained with 16 images in a mini-batch and frozen batch normalization. All model including X_101/DCN_X_101 will be released soon.
