EfficientDet

A PyTorch implementation of EfficientDet from the 2019 paper by Mingxing Tan Ruoming Pang Quoc V. Le Google Research, Brain Team.

Installation

  • Install PyTorch by selecting your environment on the website and running the appropriate command.
  • Clone this repository.
    • Note: We currently only support Python 3.6+.
  • 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.

Datasets

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.

COCO

Microsoft COCO: Common Objects in Context

Download COCO 2014
# specify a directory for dataset to be downloaded into, else default is ~/data/
sh data/scripts/COCO2014.sh

VOC Dataset

PASCAL VOC: Visual Object Classes

Download VOC2007 trainval & test
# specify a directory for dataset to be downloaded into, else default is ~/data/
sh data/scripts/VOC2007.sh # <directory>
Download VOC2012 trainval
# specify a directory for dataset to be downloaded into, else default is ~/data/
sh data/scripts/VOC2012.sh # <directory>

Training EfficientDet

  • 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
  • Note:
    • For training, an NVIDIA GPU is strongly recommended for speed.
    • For instructions on Visdom usage/installation, see the Installation section.
    • You can pick-up training from a checkpoint by specifying the path as one of the training parameters (again, see train.py for options)
