Usage

Installation

See get_started.md.

Basic Usage

See MMDetection documents. Especially, see this document to evaluate and train existing models on COCO.

Examples

We show examples to evaluate and train UniverseNet-20.08 on COCO with 4 GPUs.

# evaluate pre-trained model
mkdir -p ${HOME}/data/checkpoints/
wget -P ${HOME}/data/checkpoints/ https://github.com/shinya7y/UniverseNet/releases/download/20.08/universenet50_2008_fp16_4x4_mstrain_480_960_2x_coco_20200815_epoch_24-81356447.pth

bash tools/dist_test.sh ${CONFIG_FILE} ${CHECKPOINT_FILE} ${GPU_NUM} --eval bbox

# train model
CONFIG_FILE=configs/universenet/universenet50_2008_fp16_4x4_mstrain_480_960_2x_coco.py
CONFIG_NAME=$(basename ${CONFIG_FILE} .py)
WORK_DIR="${HOME}/logs/coco/${CONFIG_NAME}_`date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S`"
GPU_NUM=4
bash tools/dist_train.sh ${CONFIG_FILE} ${GPU_NUM} --work-dir ${WORK_DIR} --seed 0

Even if you have one GPU, we recommend using tools/dist_train.sh and tools/dist_test.sh to avoid a SyncBN issue.

Introduction

English | 简体中文

MMDetection is an open source object detection toolbox based on PyTorch. It is a part of the OpenMMLab project.

The master branch works with PyTorch 1.3+. The old v1.x branch works with PyTorch 1.1 to 1.4, but v2.0 is strongly recommended for faster speed, higher performance, better design and more friendly usage.

Major features

• Modular Design

  We decompose the detection framework into different components and one can easily construct a customized object detection framework by combining different modules.

• Support of multiple frameworks out of box

  The toolbox directly supports popular and contemporary detection frameworks, e.g. Faster RCNN, Mask RCNN, RetinaNet, etc.

• High efficiency

  All basic bbox and mask operations run on GPUs. The training speed is faster than or comparable to other codebases, including Detectron2, maskrcnn-benchmark and SimpleDet.

• State of the art

  The toolbox stems from the codebase developed by the MMDet team, who won COCO Detection Challenge in 2018, and we keep pushing it forward.

Apart from MMDetection, we also released a library mmcv for computer vision research, which is heavily depended on by this toolbox.

Changelog

v2.17.0 was released in 28/09/2021. Please refer to changelog.md for details and release history. A comparison between v1.x and v2.0 codebases can be found in compatibility.md.
