Detectron1-Comparisons

Detectron2's default settings and a few implementation details are different from Detectron.

The differences in implementation details are shared in Compatibility with Other Libraries.

The differences in default config includes:

  • Use scale augmentation during training. This improves AP with lower training cost.
  • Use L1 loss instead of smooth L1 loss for simplicity. This sometimes improves box AP but may affect other AP.
  • Use POOLER_SAMPLING_RATIO=0 instead of 2. This does not significantly affect AP.
  • Use ROIAlignV2. This does not significantly affect AP.

In this directory, we provide a few configs that mimic Detectron's behavior as close as possible. This provides a fair comparison of accuracy and speed against Detectron.

Comparisons:

  • Faster R-CNN: Detectron's AP is 36.7, similar to ours.
  • Keypoint R-CNN: Detectron's AP is box 53.6, keypoint 64.2. Fixing a Detectron's bug lead to a drop in box AP, and can be compensated back by some parameter tuning.
  • Mask R-CNN: Detectron's AP is box 37.7, mask 33.9. We're 1 AP better in mask AP, due to more correct implementation.
