Deep Structured Instance Graph for Distilling Object Detectors
Authors: Yixin Chen, Pengguang Chen, Shu Liu, Liwei Wang, Jiaya Jia.
This repo provides the implementation of paper "Deep Structured Instance Graph for Distilling Object Detectors"(Dsig) based on detectron2. Specifically, aiming at solving the feature imbalance problem while further excavating the missing relation inside semantic instances, we design a graph whose nodes correspond to instance proposal-level features and edges represent the relation between nodes. We achieve new state-of-the-art results on the COCO object detection task with diverse student-teacher pairs on both one- and two-stage detectors.
Installation
Requirements
- Python >= 3.6
- Pytorch >= 1.7.0
- Torchvision >= 0.8.1
- Pycocotools 2.0.2
Follow the install instructions in detectron2, note that in this repo we use detectron2 commit version ff638c931d5999f29c22c1d46a3023e67a5ae6a1
. Download COCO dataset and export DETECTRON2_DATASETS=$COCOPATH
to direct to COCO dataset. We prepare our pre-trained weights for training in Student-Teacher
format, please follow the instructions in Pretrained.
Running
We prepare training configs following the detectron2 format. For training a Faster R-CNN R18-FPN student with a Faster R-CNN R50-FPN teacher on 4 GPUs:
./start_train.sh train projects/Distillation/configs/Distillation-FasterRCNN-R18-R50-dsig-1x.yaml
For testing:
./start_train.sh eval projects/Distillation/configs/Distillation-FasterRCNN-R18-R50-dsig-1x.yaml
For debugging:
./start_train.sh debugtrain projects/Distillation/configs/Distillation-FasterRCNN-R18-R50-dsig-1x.yaml
