NAS-FCOS: Fast Neural Architecture Search for Object Detection

This project hosts the train and inference code with pretrained model for implementing the NAS-FCOS algorithm for object detection, as presented in our paper:

NAS-FCOS: Fast Neural Architecture Search for Object Detection;
Ning Wang, Yang Gao, Hao Chen, Peng Wang, Zhi Tian, Chunhua Shen;
In: Proc. IEEE Conf. Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR), 2020.

The full paper is available at: NAS-FCOS Paper.

Updates

  • News: Accepted by CVPR 2020. (24/02/2020)
  • Upload solver module to support self training. (06/02/2020)
  • Support RetinaNet detector in NAS module (pretrained model coming soon). (06/02/2020)
  • Update NAS head module, config files and pretrained model links. (07/01/2020)

Required hardware

We use 4 Nvidia V100 GPUs.

Installation

This NAS-FCOS implementation is based on maskrcnn-benchmark. Therefore the installation is the same as original maskrcnn-benchmark.

Please check INSTALL.md for installation instructions. You may also want to see the original README.md of maskrcnn-benchmark.

Train

The train command line on coco train:

python -m torch.distributed.launch \
    --nproc_per_node=4 \
    --master_port=1213 \
    tools/train_net.py --config-file "configs/search/R_50_NAS_retinanet.yaml"

Inference

The inference command line on coco minival split:

python -m torch.distributed.launch \
    --nproc_per_node=1 \
    tools/test_net.py --config-file "configs/search/R_50_NAS_densebox.yaml"

Please note that:

  1. If your model's name is different, please replace models/R-50-NAS.pth with your own.
  2. If you enounter out-of-memory error, please try to reduce TEST.IMS_PER_BATCH to 1.
  3. If you want to evaluate a different model, please change --config-file to its config file (in configs/search) and MODEL.WEIGHT to its weights file.

For your convenience, we provide the following trained models (more models are coming soon).
