This is the official implementation of CVPR 2021 paper "Dynamic Head: Unifying Object Detection Heads with Attentions".

"In this paper, we present a novel dynamic head framework to unify object detection heads with attentions. By coherently combining multiple self-attention mechanisms between feature levels for scale-awareness, among spatial locations for spatial-awareness, and within output channels for task-awareness, the proposed approach significantly improves the representation ability of object detection heads without any computational overhead."

Model Zoo

Code and Model are under internal review and will release soon. Stay tuned!

In order to open-source, we have ported the implementation from our internal framework to Detectron2 and re-train the models.

We notice better performances on some models compared to original paper.

Usage

Dependencies:

Detectron2, timm

Installation:

python -m pip install -e DynamicHead

Train:

To train a config on a single node with 8 gpus, simply use:

DETECTRON2_DATASETS=$DATASET python train_net.py --config configs/dyhead_r50_retina_fpn_1x.yaml --num-gpus 8

Test:

To test a config with a weight on a single node with 8 gpus, simply use:

DETECTRON2_DATASETS=$DATASET python train_net.py --config configs/dyhead_r50_retina_fpn_1x.yaml --num-gpus 8 --eval-only MODEL.WEIGHTS $WEIGHT
