Introduction

English | 简体中文

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+.

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

License

This project is released under the Apache 2.0 license.

Changelog

2.19.1 was released in 14/12/2021:

• Release YOLOX COCO pretrained models
• Add abstract and sketch of the papers in readmes
• Fix some weight initialization bugs

Please refer to changelog.md for details and release history.

For compatibility changes between different versions of MMDetection, please refer to compatibility.md.

Benchmark and model zoo

Results and models are available in the model zoo.

Some other methods are also supported in projects using MMDetection.

Installation

Please refer to get_started.md for installation.

Getting Started

Please see get_started.md for the basic usage of MMDetection. We provide colab tutorial, and full guidance for quick run with existing dataset and with new dataset for beginners. There are also tutorials for finetuning models, adding new dataset, designing data pipeline, customizing models, customizing runtime settings and useful tools.

Please refer to FAQ for frequently asked questions.

Contributing

We appreciate all contributions to improve MMDetection. Ongoing projects can be found in out GitHub Projects. Welcome community users to participate in these projects. Please refer to CONTRIBUTING.md for the contributing guideline.

Acknowledgement

MMDetection is an open source project that is contributed by researchers and engineers from various colleges and companies. We appreciate all the contributors who implement their methods or add new features, as well as users who give valuable feedbacks. We wish that the toolbox and benchmark could serve the growing research community by providing a flexible toolkit to reimplement existing methods and develop their own new detectors.
