Task Specific Attention is one more thing you need for object detection

Overview

Task Specific Split Transformer(TSST) is a novel end-to-end object detection method to produce the best results without traditionally hand-designed components. By splitting generally purposed attention module into two separated mission specific attention module, the proposed method addresses the way to head into simpler object detection models.

Installation

Requirements

• Linux, CUDA>=9.2, GCC>=5.4

• Python>=3.7

  We recommend you to use Anaconda to create a conda environment:

  conda create -n tsst python=3.7 pip

  Then, activate the environment:

  conda activate tsst

• PyTorch>=1.5.1, torchvision>=0.6.1 (following instructions here)

  For example, if your CUDA version is 9.2, you could install pytorch and torchvision as following:

  conda install pytorch=1.5.1 torchvision=0.6.1 cudatoolkit=9.2 -c pytorch

• Other requirements

  pip install -r requirements.txt

Compiling CUDA operators

cd ./models/ops
sh ./make.sh
# unit test (should see all checking is True)
python test.py

Usage

Dataset preparation

Please download COCO 2017 dataset and organize them as following:

code_root/
└── data/
    └── coco/
        ├── train2017/
        ├── val2017/
        └── annotations/
        	├── instances_train2017.json
        	└── instances_val2017.json

Train

## train TSST with r50 backbone
$ source tools/run_train.sh r50

Test Evaluation(COCO minival)

## evaluatio coco with r50 backbone
$ source tools/run_test_coco.sh r50
