FoveaBox: Beyond Anchor-based Object Detector

FoveaBox is an accurate, flexible and completely anchor-free object detection system for object detection framework, as presented in our paper https://arxiv.org/abs/1904.03797: Different from previous anchor-based methods, FoveaBox directly learns the object existing possibility and the bounding box coordinates without anchor reference. This is achieved by: (a) predicting category-sensitive semantic maps for the object existing possibility, and (b) producing category-agnostic bounding box for each position that potentially contains an object.

[1] 1x and 2x mean the model is trained for 12 and 24 epochs, respectively.
[2] Align means utilizing deformable convolution to align the cls branch.
[3] All results are obtained with a single model and without any test time data augmentation.
[4] We use 4 GPUs for training.
