BorderDet

This project provides an implementation for "BorderDet: Border Feature for Dense Object Detection" (ECCV2020 Oral) on PyTorch.

For the reason that experiments in the paper were conducted using internal framework, this project reimplements them on cvpods and reports detailed comparisons below.

Requirements

• Python >= 3.6
• PyTorch >= 1.3
• torchvision >= 0.4.2
• OpenCV
• pycocotools: pip install cython; pip install 'git+https://github.com/cocodataset/cocoapi.git#subdirectory=PythonAPI'
• GCC >= 4.9

Get Started

git clone --recursive https://github.com/Megvii-BaseDetection/BorderDet

cd BorderDet

# build cvpods (requires GPU)
pip install -r requirements.txt
python setup.py build develop

# preprare data path
mkdir datasets
ln -s /path/to/your/coco/dataset datasets/coco

cd playground/detection/coco/borderdet/borderdet.res50.fpn.coco.800size.1x

# Train

    MODEL.WEIGHTS /path/to/your/save_dir/ckpt.pth # optional
    OUTPUT_DIR /path/to/your/save_dir # optional

Results on COCO

For your convenience, we provide the performance of the following trained models. All models are trained with 16 images in a mini-batch and frozen batch normalization. All model including R_101/X_101/DCN_X_101 will be released soon.
