Introduction

This project is based on the open source object detection toolbox MMDetection, please refer to Installation for installation instructions first.

The benchmark experiments work with Python 3.8, PyTorch 1.10 and mmdet 2.23.0, and corresponding configs can be found at sodad-benchmarks.

Data preparation

The data preparation of SODA-D is a little different from common detection datasets (e.g., COCO, VOC), where a image split processes is necessary before training and please refer to Split part for more details.
