This is the official repository of "USB: Universal-Scale Object Detection Benchmark" (BMVC 2022).

We established a new benchmark USB with fair protocols and designed state-of-the-art detectors UniverseNets for universal-scale object detection. This repository extends MMDetection with more features and allows for more comprehensive benchmarking and development.

Introduction

universal-scale object detection

Benchmarks, such as COCO, play a crucial role in object detection. However, existing benchmarks are insufficient in scale variation, and their protocols are inadequate for fair comparison. In this paper, we introduce the Universal-Scale object detection Benchmark (USB). USB has variations in object scales and image domains by incorporating COCO with the recently proposed Waymo Open Dataset and Manga109-s dataset. To enable fair comparison and inclusive research, we propose training and evaluation protocols. They have multiple divisions for training epochs and evaluation image resolutions, like weight classes in sports, and compatibility across training protocols, like the backward compatibility of the Universal Serial Bus. Specifically, we request participants to report results with not only higher protocols (longer training) but also lower protocols (shorter training). Using the proposed benchmark and protocols, we conducted extensive experiments using 15 methods and found weaknesses of existing COCO-biased methods.

Usage

Installation

See get_started.md.

Basic Usage

See MMDetection documents. Especially, see this document to evaluate and train existing models on COCO.

Examples

We show examples to evaluate and train UniverseNet-20.08 on COCO with 4 GPUs.

# evaluate pre-trained model

# train model

GPU_NUM=4
bash tools/dist_train.sh ${CONFIG_FILE} ${GPU_NUM} --work-dir ${WORK_DIR} --seed 0

Even if you have one GPU, we recommend using tools/dist_train.sh and tools/dist_test.sh to avoid a SyncBN issue.

Introduction

MMDetection is an open source object detection toolbox based on PyTorch. It is a part of the OpenMMLab project.

The master branch works with PyTorch 1.5+.

Major features
  • Modular Design

    We decompose the detection framework into different components and one can easily construct a customized object detection framework by combining different modules.

  • Support of multiple frameworks out of box

    The toolbox directly supports popular and contemporary detection frameworks, e.g. Faster RCNN, Mask RCNN, RetinaNet, etc.

  • High efficiency

    All basic bbox and mask operations run on GPUs. The training speed is faster than or comparable to other codebases, including Detectron2, maskrcnn-benchmark and SimpleDet.

  • State of the art

    The toolbox stems from the codebase developed by the MMDet team, who won COCO Detection Challenge in 2018, and we keep pushing it forward.

Apart from MMDetection, we also released a library mmcv for computer vision research, which is heavily depended on by this toolbox.
