This directory holds (after you download them):
- Caffe models pre-trained on ImageNet
- Faster R-CNN models
- Symlinks to datasets
To download Caffe models (ZF, VGG16) pre-trained on ImageNet, run:
./data/scripts/fetch_imagenet_models.sh
This script will populate data/imagenet_models
.
To download Faster R-CNN models trained on VOC 2007, run:
./data/scripts/fetch_faster_rcnn_models.sh
This script will populate data/faster_rcnn_models
.
In order to train and test with PASCAL VOC, you will need to establish symlinks.
From the data
directory (cd data
):
# For VOC 2007
ln -s /your/path/to/VOC2007/VOCdevkit VOCdevkit2007
# For VOC 2012
ln -s /your/path/to/VOC2012/VOCdevkit VOCdevkit2012
Install the MS COCO dataset at /path/to/coco
ln -s /path/to/coco coco
For COCO with Fast R-CNN, place object proposals under coco_proposals
(inside
the data
directory). You can obtain proposals on COCO from Jan Hosang at
https://www.mpi-inf.mpg.de/departments/computer-vision-and-multimodal-computing/research/object-recognition-and-scene-understanding/how-good-are-detection-proposals-really/.
For COCO, using MCG is recommended over selective search. MCG boxes can be downloaded
from http://www.eecs.berkeley.edu/Research/Projects/CS/vision/grouping/mcg/.
Use the tool lib/datasets/tools/mcg_munge.py
to convert the downloaded MCG data
into the same file layout as those from Jan Hosang.
Since you'll likely be experimenting with multiple installs of Fast/er R-CNN in
parallel, you'll probably want to keep all of this data in a shared place and
use symlinks. On my system I create the following symlinks inside data
:
Annotations for the 5k image 'minival' subset of COCO val2014 that I like to use can be found at https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/o43o90bna78omob/instances_minival2014.json.zip?dl=0. Annotations for COCO val2014 (set) minus minival (~35k images) can be found at https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/s3tw5zcg7395368/instances_valminusminival2014.json.zip?dl=0.
