Installation

To install, use the following steps:

1. Install Caffe and all its dependencies. Requirements for Caffe and pycaffe (see: Caffe installation instructions)

Note: Caffe must be built with support for Python layers!

# In your Makefile.config, make sure to have this line uncommented
WITH_PYTHON_LAYER := 1

2. Clone the AZ-Net repository. Make sure to use the --recursive flag

# Make sure to clone with --recursive
git clone --recursive https://github.com/luyongxi/az-net.git

3. Build the Cython modules

   cd $ROOT/lib
   make

4. Build Caffe and pycaffe

   cd $ROOT/caffe-fast-rcnn
   # Now follow the Caffe installation instructions here:
   #   http://caffe.berkeleyvision.org/installation.html
   
   # If you're experienced with Caffe and have all of the requirements installed
   # and your Makefile.config in place, then simply do:
   make -j8 && make pycaffe

5. Fetch ImageNet models

   cd $ROOT
   ./data/scripts/fetch_imagenet_models.sh

   See data/README.md for details.

6. To train and test models, use scripts in

   $ROOT/experiments/scripts
