Introduction

PaddleDetection is an end-to-end object detection development kit based on PaddlePaddle, which implements varied mainstream object detection, instance segmentation, tracking and keypoint detection algorithms in modular designwhich with configurable modules such as network components, data augmentations and losses, and release many kinds SOTA industry practice models, integrates abilities of model compression and cross-platform high-performance deployment, aims to help developers in the whole end-to-end development in a faster and better way.

PaddleDetection provides image processing capabilities such as object detection, instance segmentation, multi-object tracking, keypoint detection and etc.

Features

• Rich Models PaddleDetection provides rich of models, including 100+ pre-trained models such as object detection, instance segmentation, face detection etc. It covers a variety of global competition champion schemes.

• Highly Flexible: Components are designed to be modular. Model architectures, as well as data preprocess pipelines and optimization strategies, can be easily customized with simple configuration changes.

• Production Ready: From data augmentation, constructing models, training, compression, depolyment, get through end to end, and complete support for multi-architecture, multi-device deployment for cloud and edge device.

• High Performance: Based on the high performance core of PaddlePaddle, advantages of training speed and memory occupation are obvious. FP16 training and multi-machine training are supported as well.

Overview of Model Performance

The relationship between COCO mAP and FPS on Tesla V100 of representative models of each server side architectures and backbones.

NOTE:

• CBResNet stands for Cascade-Faster-RCNN-CBResNet200vd-FPN, which has highest mAP on COCO as 53.3%

• Cascade-Faster-RCNN stands for Cascade-Faster-RCNN-ResNet50vd-DCN, which has been optimized to 20 FPS inference speed when COCO mAP as 47.8% in PaddleDetection models

• PP-YOLO achieves mAP of 45.9% on COCO and 72.9FPS on Tesla V100. Both precision and speed surpass YOLOv4

• PP-YOLO v2 is optimized version of PP-YOLO which has mAP of 49.5% and 68.9FPS on Tesla V100

• All these models can be get in Model Zoo
