CVPR 2022 Paper: Focal and Global Knowledge Distillation for Detectors
- Our codes are based on MMDetection. Please follow the installation of MMDetection and make sure you can run it successfully.
- This repo uses mmdet==2.11.0 and mmcv-full==1.2.4
- If you want to use higher mmdet version, you may have to change the optimizer in apis/train.py and build_detector in tools/train.py.
- For mmdet>=2.12.0, if you want to use inheriting strategy, you have to initalize the student with teacher's parameters after model.init_weights().
- You can refer MGD to change model.init_weights() in train.py and self.student.init_weights() in distiller.py.
- Add the configs/. in our codes to the configs/ in mmdetectin's codes.
- Add the mmdet/distillation/. in our codes to the mmdet/ in mmdetectin's codes.
- Replace the mmdet/apis/train.py and tools/train.py in mmdetection's codes with mmdet/apis/train.py and tools/train.py in our codes.
- Add pth_transfer.py to mmdetection's codes.
- Unzip COCO dataset into data/coco/
