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 1.6+.
Major features
-
Modular Design
We decompose the detection framework into different components and one can easily construct a customized object detection framework by combining different modules.
-
Support of multiple tasks out of box
The toolbox directly supports multiple detection tasks such as object detection, instance segmentation, panoptic segmentation, and semi-supervised object detection.
-
High efficiency
All basic bbox and mask operations run on GPUs. The training speed is faster than or comparable to other codebases, including Detectron2, maskrcnn-benchmark and SimpleDet.
-
State of the art
The toolbox stems from the codebase developed by the MMDet team, who won COCO Detection Challenge in 2018, and we keep pushing it forward.
Apart from MMDetection, we also released MMEngine for model training and MMCV for computer vision research, which are heavily depended on by this toolbox.
v3.0.0rc1 was released in 26/9/2022:
- Release a high-precision, low-latency single-stage object detector RTMDet.
- Refactored anchor head and base head with
box type.
