Faster R-CNN

Faster R-CNN: Towards Real-Time Object Detection with Region Proposal Networks

By Shaoqing Ren, Kaiming He, Ross Girshick, Jian Sun at Microsoft Research

Introduction

Faster R-CNN is an object detection framework based on deep convolutional networks, which includes a Region Proposal Network (RPN) and an Object Detection Network. Both networks are trained for sharing convolutional layers for fast testing.

Faster R-CNN was initially described in an arXiv tech report.

This repo contains a MATLAB re-implementation of Fast R-CNN. Details about Fast R-CNN are in: rbgirshick/fast-rcnn.

This code has been tested on Windows 7/8 64-bit, Windows Server 2012 R2, and Linux, and on MATLAB 2014a.

Python version is available at py-faster-rcnn.

Note: The mAP results are subject to random variations. We have run 5 times independently for ZF net, and the mAPs are 59.9 (as in the paper), 60.4, 59.5, 60.1, and 59.5, with a mean of 59.88 and std 0.39.

   • Train RPN with conv layers tuned; compute RPN results on the train/test sets.
   • Train Fast R-CNN with conv layers tuned using step-1 RPN proposals; evaluate detection mAP.
   • Train RPN with conv layers fixed; compute RPN results on the train/test sets.
   • Train Fast R-CNN with conv layers fixed using step-3 RPN proposals; evaluate detection mAP.
   • Note: the entire training time is ~12 hours on K40.
