Approach

Figure 1: The Diagram of a Selective Kernel Convolution module.

Implementation

In this repository, all the models are implemented by Caffe.

We use the data augmentation strategies with SENet.

There are two new layers introduced for efficient training and inference, these are Axpy and CuDNNBatchNorm layers.

  • The Axpy layer is already implemented in SENet.
  • The [CuDNNBatchNorm] is mainly borrowed from GENet.

20190323_Update: SKNet-101 model is deleted by mistake. We are retraining a model and it will come soon in 2-3 days. 20190326_Update: SKNet-101 model is ready.

Attention weights correspond to object scales in low/middle layers

We look deep into the selection distributions from the perspective of classes on SK_2_3 (low), SK_3_4 (middle), SK_5_3 (high) layers:

Figure 2: Average mean attention difference (mean attention value of kernel 5x5 minus that of kernel 3x3) on SK units of SKNet-50, for each of 1,000 categories using all validation samples on ImageNet. On low or middle level SK units (e.g., SK\_2\_3, SK\_3\_4), 5x5 kernels are clearly imposed with more emphasis if the target object becomes larger (1.0x -> 1.5x).

More details of attention distributions on specific images are as follows:
