 ### This code base is no longer maintained and exists as a historical artifact to supplement my ICCV 2015 paper. For more recent work that's faster and more accurrate, please see [Faster R-CNN](https://github.com/rbgirshick/py-faster-rcnn) (which also includes functionality for training Fast R-CNN).
