This is the unofficial implementation of the "CenterNet:Objects as Points".Just a simple try with self-modified shufflenetv2 and yolov3.If you want better results, you need more experiments.

1. Introduction

• This is the unofficial implementation of the "CenterNet:Objects as Points".In my experiment, it was not based on the DLA34, Hourglass and other networks in the original paper. I simply modified shufflenetv2_1.0x and yolov3, and kept their feature extraction part, then connected to centernet_detect_head, and did not use dcn convolution.
• This is just a simple attempt to the effect of the algorithm.I only have one 1080ti,I did not use any data augmentation and any other tricks during training，so the model is not very good,still need more work to get good results.If it helps you, please give me a star.You can read my Chinese notes.(1)https://zhuanlan.zhihu.com/p/68383078 (2)https://zhuanlan.zhihu.com/p/76378871

yolo3_voc_v2		        25.53		512x512	         227.7MB

5. Run test demo(still need more work to get good results)

download ckpt filehttps://pan.baidu.com/s/1OVtOyHdc6qgcvTn56s5m2wcode:qd35,and put them to ./shufflenetv2_face_V1/, ./shufflenetv2_seb_voc/, ./shufflenetv2_voc/,and ./yolo3_voc/,then run test_voc_on_images.py or test_face_on_images.py

6.Create tfrecords to train

• The function about how to create and parse tfrecords is under folder img2tfrecords_detection.
• You only need to modify the following variables：img_path, txt_path, tfrecords.
• Then run img2tfrecords_pad.py to create tfrecords and parse it by parse-tfrecords.py.
• For detailed implementation, please see the relevant code under folder img2tfrecords_detection.
