Dependencies

The code is built on top of R-FCN. Please carefully read through py-R-FCN and make sure py-R-FCN can run within your enviornment.

Datasets/Pre-trained model

1. In our paper, we used Pascal VOC2007/VOC2012 and COCO as our datasets, and res101.pth model as our pre-trained model.

2. Please download ImageNet-pre-trained res101.pth model manually, and put them into $ASM_ROOT/data/imagenet_models

Usage

1. training

   Before training, please prepare your dataset and pre-trained model and store them in the right path as R-FCN.You can go to ./tools/ and modify train_net.py to reset some parameters.Then, simply run sh ./train.sh.

2. testing

   Before testing, you can modify test.sh to choose the trained model path, then simply run sh ./test.sh to get the evaluation result.

Misc

Tested on Ubuntu 14.04 with a Titan X GPU (12G) and Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2623 v3 @ 3.00GHz.
