Fssd.pytorch
A Pytorch0.4 re-implementation of Fssd detection network, with pretrained weights on VOC0712 and mAP=79.74.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| FSSD | VOC 07+12 | VOC 07 test | 79.74 | 90 | Baidu/Google |
Official caffe implementation is here, and pytorch0.3 re-implementation is here.
For details, please read the paper: FSSD：Feature Fusion Single Shot Multibox Detector
Our re-implementation is slightly better than paper (79.74 vs 78.8). Inference time is tested on TITAN X Pasal and cudnn V5. More high performance models will be available soon.
About more details
- The implementation code abandons the bn layer after feature fusion.
- Because the limitation of amount of gpu, batch_size is set to 32. If use 64 or more, I believe it will produce better performance.
- If you want to re-produce more accurate model, I believe that adding BN to the body of FSSD and applying Mixup will be very effective.
- The code is mainly based on rfbNet. If you are interested in this project, please email me(yhao.chen0617@gmail.com)
Update
I add a prune file for FSSD, which bases on Network Slimming (ICCV 2017), for details, please refer to the paper: Network Slimming.
| State | mAP | FPS | GPU | Model Size | Download Link |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Original | 79.74 | 90 | TITAN X Pascal | 136M | Baidu/Google |
| First Prune (50%) | 79.64 | 150 | TITAN X Pascal | 52M | Bd(p6fe)/Gg |
| Second Prune |
Steps for pruning the model:
- Training the FSSD with BN model, meanwhile applying L1 constraints to the parameters of BN
- Applying Network Slimming to the model trained in the previous step （Prune threshold is defaulted to 50%）
- Re-train the pruned model, approximate 200 epochs, drop 0.1% in accuracy.
- If still prune the model, I believe it can produce the result of mAP>79%, FPS~200. Of course, for the pruned model, BN can be merged to the convolution layer to be further accelerate.
