CBNet: A Composite Backbone Network Architecture for Object Detection

By Tingting Liang*, Xiaojie Chu*, Yudong Liu*, Yongtao Wang, Zhi Tang, Wei Chu, Jingdong Chen, Haibin Ling.

This repo is the official implementation of CBNetV2. It is based on mmdetection and Swin Transformer for Object Detection.

Introduction

CBNetV2 achieves strong single-model performance on COCO object detection (60.1 box AP and 52.3 mask AP on test-dev) without extra training data.

Improved HTC (1600x1400)

We use ImageNet-22k pretrained checkpoints of Swin-B and Swin-L. Compared to regular HTC, our HTC uses 4conv1fc in bbox head.

Backbone	Lr Schd	box mAP (minival/test-dev)	mask mAP (minival/test-dev)	#params	FLOPs	config	model
DB-Swin-B	20e	58.4/58.7	50.7/51.1	235M	1348G	config	github
DB-Swin-L	1x	59.1/59.4	51.0/51.6	453M	2162G	config (test only)	github
DB-Swin-L (TTA)	1x	59.6/60.1	51.8/52.3	453M	-	config (test only)	github

TTA denotes test time augmentation.

Notes:

Pre-trained models of Swin Transformer can be downloaded from Swin Transformer for ImageNet Classification.

Usage

Installation

Please refer to get_started.md for installation and dataset preparation.

Inference

# single-gpu testing (w/o segm result)
python tools/test.py <CONFIG_FILE> <DET_CHECKPOINT_FILE> --eval bbox 

# multi-gpu testing (w/ segm result)
tools/dist_test.sh <CONFIG_FILE> <DET_CHECKPOINT_FILE> <GPU_NUM> --eval bbox segm

Training

To train a detector with pre-trained models, run:

# multi-gpu training
tools/dist_train.sh <CONFIG_FILE> <GPU_NUM>

For example, to train a Faster R-CNN model with a Duel-ResNet50 backbone and 8 gpus, run:

# path of pre-training model (resnet50) is already in config
tools/dist_train.sh configs/cbnet/faster_rcnn_cbv2d1_r50_fpn_1x_coco.py 8

Another example, to train a Mask R-CNN model with a Duel-Swin-T backbone and 8 gpus, run:

tools/dist_train.sh configs/cbnet/mask_rcnn_cbv2_swin_tiny_patch4_window7_mstrain_480-800_adamw_3x_coco.py 8 --cfg-options model.pretrained=<PRETRAIN_MODEL>

Apex (optional):

Following Swin Transformer for Object Detection, we use apex for mixed precision training by default. To install apex, run:

git clone https://github.com/NVIDIA/apex
cd apex
pip install -v --disable-pip-version-check --no-cache-dir --global-option="--cpp_ext" --global-option="--cuda_ext" ./
