Requirements

1. Requirements for Caffe and pycaffe (see: Caffe installation instructions)

   Note: Caffe must be built with support for Python layers!

# In your Makefile.config, make sure to have this line uncommented
WITH_PYTHON_LAYER := 1

2. Python packages you might not have: cython, python-opencv, easydict

Installation

1. Clone the RstarCNN repository

   # Make sure to clone with --recursive
   git clone --recursive https://github.com/gkioxari/RstarCNN.git
   

2. Build the Cython modules

   cd $ROOT/lib
   make
   

3. Build Caffe and pycaffe

   cd $ROOT/caffe-fast-rcnn
   # Now follow the Caffe installation instructions here:
   #   http://caffe.berkeleyvision.org/installation.html
   
   # If you're experienced with Caffe and have all of the requirements installed
   # and your Makefile.config in place, then simply do:
   make -j8 && make pycaffe
   

Usage

Train a R*CNN classifier. For example, train a VGG16 network on VOC 2012 trainval:

./tools/train_net.py --gpu 0 --solver models/VGG16_RstarCNN/solver.prototxt \
	--weights reference_models/VGG16.v2.caffemodel

Test a R*CNN classifier

./tools/test_net.py --gpu 0 --def models/VGG16_RstarCNN/test.prototxt \
	--net output/default/voc_2012_trainval/vgg16_fast_rstarcnn_joint_iter_40000.caffemodel
