Config

Everything is configurable from the config file, all the changes should be out of source.

Experiments

One experiment is a directory in experiments folder with the same name as the config file.

E.g. r50_fixbn_1x.py is the name of a config file

config/
    r50_fixbn_1x.py
experiments/
    r50_fixbn_1x/
        checkpoint.params
        log.txt
        coco_minival2014_result.json

Models

The models directory contains SOTA models implemented in SimpletDet.

How is Faster R-CNN built

Faster R-CNN

Simpledet supports many popular detection methods and here we take Faster R-CNN as a typical example to show how a detector is built.

  • Preprocessing. The preprocessing methods of the detector is implemented through DetectionAugmentation.
    • Image/bbox-related preprocessing, such as Norm2DImage and Resize2DImageBbox.
    • Anchor generator AnchorTarget2D, which generates anchors and corresponding anchor targets for training RPN.
  • Network Structure. The training and testing symbols of Faster-RCNN detector is defined in FasterRcnn. The key components are listed as follow:
    • Backbone. Backbone provides interfaces to build backbone networks, e.g. ResNet and ResNext.
    • Neck. Neck provides interfaces to build complementary feature extraction layers for backbone networks, e.g. FPNNeck builds Top-down pathway for Feature Pyramid Network.
    • RPN head. RpnHead aims to build classification and regression layers to generate proposal outputs for RPN. Meanwhile, it also provides interplace to generate sampled proposals for the subsequent R-CNN.
    • Roi Extractor. RoiExtractor extracts features for each roi (proposal) based on the R-CNN features generated by Backbone and Neck.
    • Bounding Box Head. BboxHead builds the R-CNN layers for proposal refinement.

How to build a custom detector

The flexibility of simpledet framework makes it easy to build different detectors. We take TridentNet as an example to demonstrate how to build a custom detector simply based on the Faster R-CNN framework.

  • Preprocessing. The additional processing methods could be provided accordingly by inheriting from DetectionAugmentation.
    • In TridentNet, a new TridentAnchorTarget2D is implemented to generate anchors for multiple branches and filter anchors for scale-aware training scheme.
  • Network Structure. The new network structure could be constructed easily for a custom detector by modifying some required components as needed and
    • For TridentNet, we build trident blocks in the Backbone according to the descriptions in the paper. We also provide a TridentRpnHead to generate filtered proposals in RPN to implement the scale-aware scheme. Other components are shared the same with original Faster-RCNN.
