[ICCV 2023] Integrally Migrating Pre-trained Transformer Encoder-decoders for Visual Object Detection

imTED: Integrally Migrating Pre-trained Transformer Encoder-decoders for Visual Object Detection

Code of our ICCV 2023 paper Integrally Migrating Pre-trained Transformer Encoder-decoders for Visual Object Detection. Blog in Chinese is available here.

The code is based on mmdetection, please refer to get_started.md and MMDET_README.md to set up the environment and prepare the data.

Config Files and Performance and Trained Weights

We provide 9 configuration files in the configs directory.

MAE Pre-training

The pre-trained model is trained with the official MAE code. For ViT-S, we use a 4-layer decoder with dimension 256 for 800 epochs of pre-training. For ViT-B, we use an 8-layer decoder with dimension 512 for 1600 epochs of pre-training. Pre-trained weights can be downloaded from the official MAE weight. For ViT-L, we use an 8-layer decoder with dimension 512 for 1600 epochs of pre-training. Pre-trained weights can be downloaded from the official MAE weight.

Last Step of Preparation

For all experiments, remember to modify the path of pre-trained weights in the configuration files, e.g. configs/imted/imted_faster_rcnn_vit_small_3x_coco.py.

For few-shot experiments, please refer to FsDet for data preparation. Remember to modify the path of json in the configuration files, e.g. configs/imted/few_shot/imted_faster_rcnn_vit_base_2x_base_training_coco.py.
