But in order to use my customized backbone in mmdet library, would I have to then build mmdet from github repository ? @OceanPang

You can directly do it in qdtrack's codebase, but registry the model into the same Registry.

What do you mean by same registry ? @OceanPang
Also how should I do it directly in qdtrack's codebase? Won't I require to add customized model in mmdet then as mentioned in this link : https://github.com/open-mmlab/mmdetection/blob/master/docs/tutorials/customize_models.md#add-a-new-backbone
