Overview

This project provides the whole official implementation for our ICCV2021 paper "FaPN: Feature-aligned Pyramid Network for Dense Image Prediction" based on Detectron2, PanoticFCN, and MaskFormer. FaPN is a simple yet effective top-down pyramidal architecture to generate multi-scale features for dense image prediction. Comprised of a feature alignment module (FAM) and a feature selection module (FSM), FaPN addresses the issue of feature alignment in the original FPN, leading to substaintial improvements on various dense prediction tasks, such as object detection, semantic, instance, panoptic segmentation, etc.

Installation

This project is based on Detectron2, which can be constructed as follows.

• Install Detectron2 following the instructions.
• Setup the dataset following the structure.
• Install DCNv2 following Install DCNv2.md.
