Grid R-CNN

An mmdetection based implementation of updated Grid R-CNN published on CVPR 2019. Original paper is here, details of updates can be seen in this technical report.

Installation

This project is based on mmdetection object detection framework.

Requirements

• Python 3.5+ (Say goodbye to Python2)
• PyTorch 1.0+ or PyTorch-nightly
• CUDA 9.0+
• GCC 4.9+
• mmcv

Install Grid R-CNN with mmdetection

a. Create a conda virtual environment and activate it. Then install Cython.

conda create -n open-mmlab python=3.7 -y
source activate open-mmlab

conda install cython

b. Install PyTorch stable or nightly and torchvision following the official instructions.

c. Clone the this repository.

d. Compile cuda extensions.

./compile.sh

e. Setup mmdetection (other dependencies will be installed automatically).

python setup.py develop
# or "pip install -e ."

Dataset Preparation

It is recommended to symlink the dataset root to your project.

Training and Testing

We provide training and testing scripts and config files for Grid R-CNN. An example configuration file is here, corresponding checkpoint is here. Note that the batchsize we used is 64(32 GPUs/2 images per GPU), you could adjust the learning rate and warmup schedule according to your batchsize.

Please see GETTING_STARTED.md for more basic usage of mmdetection.

Results

Training on Res50/101 FPN backbone and Testing on COCO minival. Inference speed is tested on our TITANXp GPU cluster.
