We propose a novel single-shot based detector, called RefineDet, that achieves better accuracy than two-stage methods and maintains comparable efficiency of one-stage methods. You can use the code to train/evaluate the RefineDet method for object detection. For more details, please refer to our paper.
| System | VOC2007 test mAP | FPS (Titan X) | Number of Boxes | Input resolution |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Faster R-CNN (VGG16) | 73.2 | 7 | ~6000 | ~1000 x 600 |
| YOLO (GoogLeNet) | 63.4 | 45 | 98 | 448 x 448 |
| YOLOv2 (Darknet-19) | 78.6 | 40 | 1445 | 544 x 544 |
| SSD300* (VGG16) | 77.2 | 46 | 8732 | 300 x 300 |
| SSD512* (VGG16) | 79.8 | 19 | 24564 | 512 x 512 |
| RefineDet320 (VGG16) | 80.0 | 40 | 6375 | 320 x 320 |
| RefineDet512 (VGG16) | 81.8 | 24 | 16320 | 512 x 512 |
Note: RefineDet300+ and RefineDet512+ are evaluated with the multi-scale testing strategy. The code of the multi-scale testing has also been released in this repository.

# For GPU users

# For CPU users
python test/refinedet_demo.py --gpu_id -1- Evaluate the trained models via
test/refinedet_test.py.
# You can modify the parameters in refinedet_test.py for different types of evaluation:
# - single_scale: True is single scale testing, False is multi_scale_testing.
# - test_set: 'voc_2007_test', 'voc_2012_test', 'coco_2014_minival', 'coco_2015_test-dev'.
# - voc_path: where the trained voc caffemodel.
# - coco_path: where the trained voc caffemodel.
# For 'voc_2007_test' and 'coco_2014_minival', it will directly output the mAP results.
# For 'voc_2012_test' and 'coco_2015_test-dev', it will save the detections and you should submitted it to the evaluation server to get the mAP results.
python test/refinedet_test.pyWe have provided the models that are trained from different datasets. To help reproduce the results in Table 1, Table 2, Table 4, most models contain a pretrained .caffemodel file, many .prototxt files, and python scripts.
