EfficientDet

This is an implementation of EfficientDet for object detection on Keras and Tensorflow. The project is based on fizyr/keras-retinanet and the qubvel/efficientnet. The pretrained EfficientNet weights files are downloaded from Callidior/keras-applications/releases

Train

build dataset (Pascal VOC, other types please refer to fizyr/keras-retinanet)

• Download VOC2007 and VOC2012, copy all image files from VOC2007 to VOC2012.
• Append VOC2007 train.txt to VOC2012 trainval.txt.
• Overwrite VOC2012 val.txt by VOC2007 val.txt.

train

• STEP1: python3 train.py --snapshot imagenet --phi {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} --gpu 0 --random-transform --compute-val-loss --freeze-backbone --batch-size 32 --steps 1000 pascal datasets/VOC2012 to start training. The init lr is 1e-3.
• STEP2: python3 train.py --snapshot xxx.h5 --phi {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} --gpu 0 --random-transform --compute-val-loss --freeze-bn --batch-size 4 --steps 10000 pascal datasets/VOC2012 to start training when val mAP can not increase during STEP1. The init lr is 1e-4 and decays to 1e-5 when val mAP keeps dropping down.

Evaluate

• python3 eval/common.py to evaluate by specifying model path there.
• The best evaluation results (score_threshold=0.01, mAP₅₀) on VOC2007 test are:

phi	0	1
w/o weighted		0.8029
w/ weighted	0.7892

Test

python3 inference.py to test your image by specifying image path and model path there.
