• [06/01/2020] Support both DistributedDataParallel and DataParallel, change augmentation, eval_voc
• [17/12/2019] Add Fast normalized fusion, Augmentation with Ratio, Change RetinaHead, Fix Support EfficientDet-D0->D7
• [7/12/2019] Support EfficientDet-D0, EfficientDet-D1, EfficientDet-D2, EfficientDet-D3, EfficientDet-D4,... . Support change gradient accumulation steps, AdamW.

We benchmark our code thoroughly on three datasets: pascal voc and coco, using family efficientnet different network architectures: EfficientDet-D0->7. Below are the results:

1). PASCAL VOC 2007 (Train/Test: 07trainval/07test, scale=600, ROI Align)

• Install PyTorch by selecting your environment on the website and running the appropriate command.
• Clone this repository and install package prerequisites below.
• Then download the dataset by following the instructions below.
• Note: For training, we currently support VOC and COCO, and aim to add ImageNet support soon.

• Python 3.6
• PyTorch 1.3
• Torchvision 0.4.0 (We need high version because Torchvision support nms now.)
• requirements.txt

To make things easy, we provide bash scripts to handle the dataset downloads and setup for you. We also provide simple dataset loaders that inherit torch.utils.data.Dataset, making them fully compatible with the torchvision.datasets API.

PASCAL VOC: Visual Object Classes

# specify a directory for dataset to be downloaded into, else default is ~/data/
sh datasets/scripts/VOC2007.sh
sh datasets/scripts/VOC2012.sh

Microsoft COCO: Common Objects in Context

# specify a directory for dataset to be downloaded into, else default is ~/data/
sh datasets/scripts/COCO2017.sh

• To train EfficientDet using the train script simply specify the parameters listed in train.py as a flag or manually change them.

python train.py --network effcientdet-d0  # Example

• With VOC Dataset:

# DataParallel
python train.py --dataset VOC --dataset_root /root/data/VOCdevkit/ --network effcientdet-d0 --batch_size 32 
# DistributedDataParallel with backend nccl
python train.py --dataset VOC --dataset_root /root/data/VOCdevkit/ --network effcientdet-d0 --batch_size 32 --multiprocessing-distributed

• With COCO Dataset:

# DataParallel
python train.py --dataset COCO --dataset_root ~/data/coco/ --network effcientdet-d0 --batch_size 32
# DistributedDataParallel with backend nccl
python train.py --dataset COCO --dataset_root ~/data/coco/ --network effcientdet-d0 --batch_size 32 --multiprocessing-distributed

To evaluate a trained network:

• With VOC Dataset:

  python eval_voc.py --dataset_root ~/data/VOCdevkit --weight ./checkpoint_VOC_efficientdet-d0_261.pth

• With COCO Dataset comming soon.

python demo.py --threshold 0.5 --iou_threshold 0.5 --score --weight checkpoint_VOC_efficientdet-d1_34.pth --file_name demo.png

Output:

You can use a webcam in a real-time demo by running:

python demo.py --threshold 0.5 --iou_threshold 0.5 --cam --score --weight checkpoint_VOC_efficientdet-d1_34.pth

We have accumulated the following to-do list, which we hope to complete in the near future

• Still to come:
  • EfficientDet-[D0-7]
  • GPU-Parallel
  • NMS
  • Soft-NMS
  • Pretrained model
  • Demo
  • Model zoo
  • TorchScript
  • Mobile
  • C Onnx

• Toan Dao Minh

Note: Unfortunately, this is just a hobby of ours and not a full-time job, so we'll do our best to keep things up to date, but no guarantees. That being said, thanks to everyone for your continued help and feedback as it is really appreciated. We will try to address everything as soon as possible.
