Introduction

PaddleDetection is an end-to-end object detection development kit based on PaddlePaddle, which aims to help developers in the whole development of constructing, training, optimizing and deploying detection models in a faster and better way.

PaddleDetection implements varied mainstream object detection algorithms in modular design, and provides wealthy data augmentation methods, network components(such as backbones), loss functions, etc., and integrates abilities of model compression and cross-platform high-performance deployment.

After a long time of industry practice polishing, PaddleDetection has had smooth and excellent user experience, it has been widely used by developers in more than ten industries such as industrial quality inspection, remote sensing image object detection, automatic inspection, new retail, Internet, and scientific research.

Features

• Rich Models PaddleDetection provides rich of models, including 100+ pre-trained models such as object detection, instance segmentation, face detection etc. It covers a variety of global competition champion schemes.

• Use Concisely Modular design, decouple each network component, developers easily build and try various detection models and optimization strategies, quickly get high-performance, customized algorithm.

• Getting Through End to End From data augmentation, constructing models, training, compression, depolyment, get through end to end, and complete support for multi-architecture, multi-device deployment for cloud and edge device.

• High Performance: Based on the high performance core of PaddlePaddle, advantages of training speed and memory occupation are obvious. Support FP16 training, support multi-machine training.

Overview of Model Performance

The relationship between COCO mAP and FPS on Tesla V100 of representative models of each architectures and backbones.

NOTE:

• CBResNet stands for Cascade-Faster-RCNN-CBResNet200vd-FPN, which has highest mAP on COCO as 53.3%

• Cascade-Faster-RCNN stands for Cascade-Faster-RCNN-ResNet50vd-DCN, which has been optimized to 20 FPS inference speed when COCO mAP as 47.8% in PaddleDetection models

• The enhanced PaddleDetection model YOLOv3-ResNet50vd-DCN is 10.6 absolute percentage points higher than paper on COCO mAP, and inference speed is 61.3 fps, nearly 70% faster than the darknet framework. All these models can be get in Model Zoo
