py-faster-rcnn has been deprecated. Please see Detectron, which includes an implementation of Mask R-CNN.
The official Faster R-CNN code (written in MATLAB) is available here. If your goal is to reproduce the results in our NIPS 2015 paper, please use the official code.
This repository contains a Python reimplementation of the MATLAB code. This Python implementation is built on a fork of Fast R-CNN. There are slight differences between the two implementations. In particular, this Python port
- is ~10% slower at test-time, because some operations execute on the CPU in Python layers (e.g., 220ms / image vs. 200ms / image for VGG16)
- gives similar, but not exactly the same, mAP as the MATLAB version
- is not compatible with models trained using the MATLAB code due to the minor implementation differences
- includes approximate joint training that is 1.5x faster than alternating optimization (for VGG16) -- see these slides for more information
By Shaoqing Ren, Kaiming He, Ross Girshick, Jian Sun (Microsoft Research)
This Python implementation contains contributions from Sean Bell (Cornell) written during an MSR internship.
Please see the official README.md for more details.
Faster R-CNN was initially described in an arXiv tech report and was subsequently published in NIPS 2015.

- Requirements: software
- Requirements: hardware
- Basic installation
- Demo
- Beyond the demo: training and testing
- Usage
NOTE If you are having issues compiling and you are using a recent version of CUDA/cuDNN, please consult this issue for a workaround
- Requirements for
Caffe
andpycaffe
(see: Caffe installation instructions)
Note: Caffe must be built with support for Python layers!
# In your Makefile.config, make sure to have this line uncommented
WITH_PYTHON_LAYER := 1
# Unrelatedly, it's also recommended that you use CUDNN
USE_CUDNN := 1
You can download my Makefile.config for reference.
2. Python packages you might not have: cython
, python-opencv
, easydict
3. [Optional] MATLAB is required for official PASCAL VOC evaluation only. The code now includes unofficial Python evaluation code.
- For training smaller networks (ZF, VGG_CNN_M_1024) a good GPU (e.g., Titan, K20, K40, ...) with at least 3G of memory suffices
- For training Fast R-CNN with VGG16, you'll need a K40 (~11G of memory)
- For training the end-to-end version of Faster R-CNN with VGG16, 3G of GPU memory is sufficient (using CUDNN)
- Clone the Faster R-CNN repository
# Make sure to clone with --recursive
git clone --recursive https://github.com/rbgirshick/py-faster-rcnn.git
-
We'll call the directory that you cloned Faster R-CNN into
FRCN_ROOT
Ignore notes 1 and 2 if you followed step 1 above.
Note 1: If you didn't clone Faster R-CNN with the
--recursive
flag, then you'll need to manually clone thecaffe-fast-rcnn
submodule:git submodule update --init --recursive
Note 2: The
caffe-fast-rcnn
submodule needs to be on thefaster-rcnn
branch (or equivalent detached state). This will happen automatically if you followed step 1 instructions. -
Build the Cython modules
cd $FRCN_ROOT/lib make
Build Caffe and pycaffe
cd $FRCN_ROOT/caffe-fast-rcnn # Now follow the Caffe installation instructions here: # http://caffe.berkeleyvision.org/installation.html # If you're experienced with Caffe and have all of the requirements installed # and your Makefile.config in place, then simply do: make -j8 && make pycaffe
Download pre-computed Faster R-CNN detectors
cd $FRCN_ROOT ./data/scripts/fetch_faster_rcnn_models.sh
This will populate the
$FRCN_ROOT/data
folder withfaster_rcnn_models
. Seedata/README.md
for details. These models were trained on VOC 2007 trainval.After successfully completing basic installation, you'll be ready to run the demo.
To run the demo
cd $FRCN_ROOT ./tools/demo.py
The demo performs detection using a VGG16 network trained for detection on PASCAL VOC 2007.

Download the training, validation, test data and VOCdevkit
wget http://host.robots.ox.ac.uk/pascal/VOC/voc2007/VOCtrainval_06-Nov-2007.tar wget http://host.robots.ox.ac.uk/pascal/VOC/voc2007/VOCtest_06-Nov-2007.tar wget http://host.robots.ox.ac.uk/pascal/VOC/voc2007/VOCdevkit_08-Jun-2007.tar
Extract all of these tars into one directory named
VOCdevkit
tar xvf VOCtrainval_06-Nov-2007.tar tar xvf VOCtest_06-Nov-2007.tar tar xvf VOCdevkit_08-Jun-2007.tar
It should have this basic structure
$VOCdevkit/ # development kit $VOCdevkit/VOCcode/ # VOC utility code $VOCdevkit/VOC2007 # image sets, annotations, etc. # ... and several other directories ...
Create symlinks for the PASCAL VOC dataset
cd $FRCN_ROOT/data ln -s $VOCdevkit VOCdevkit2007
Using symlinks is a good idea because you will likely want to share the same PASCAL dataset installation between multiple projects.
[Optional] follow similar steps to get PASCAL VOC 2010 and 2012
[Optional] If you want to use COCO, please see some notes under
data/README.md
Follow the next sections to download pre-trained ImageNet models
Pre-trained ImageNet models can be downloaded for the three networks described in the paper: ZF and VGG16.
cd $FRCN_ROOT ./data/scripts/fetch_imagenet_models.sh
VGG16 comes from the Caffe Model Zoo, but is provided here for your convenience. ZF was trained at MSRA.
To train and test a Faster R-CNN detector using the alternating optimization algorithm from our NIPS 2015 paper, use
experiments/scripts/faster_rcnn_alt_opt.sh
. Output is written underneath$FRCN_ROOT/output
.cd $FRCN_ROOT ./experiments/scripts/faster_rcnn_alt_opt.sh [GPU_ID] [NET] [--set ...] # GPU_ID is the GPU you want to train on # NET in {ZF, VGG_CNN_M_1024, VGG16} is the network arch to use # --set ... allows you to specify fast_rcnn.config options, e.g. # --set EXP_DIR seed_rng1701 RNG_SEED 1701
("alt opt" refers to the alternating optimization training algorithm described in the NIPS paper.)
To train and test a Faster R-CNN detector using the approximate joint training method, use
experiments/scripts/faster_rcnn_end2end.sh
. Output is written underneath$FRCN_ROOT/output
.cd $FRCN_ROOT ./experiments/scripts/faster_rcnn_end2end.sh [GPU_ID] [NET] [--set ...] # GPU_ID is the GPU you want to train on # NET in {ZF, VGG_CNN_M_1024, VGG16} is the network arch to use # --set ... allows you to specify fast_rcnn.config options, e.g. # --set EXP_DIR seed_rng1701 RNG_SEED 1701
This method trains the RPN module jointly with the Fast R-CNN network, rather than alternating between training the two. It results in faster (~ 1.5x speedup) training times and similar detection accuracy. See these slides for more details.
Artifacts generated by the scripts in
