VSC-DescriptorTrack-Submission ($2^{nd}$ Solution)

The codes and related files to reproduce the results for Video Similarity Challenge Descriptor Track (CVPR2023).

Required dependencies

To begin with, you should install the packages according to the environment.yaml file in this directory. Then install the GNU parallel by sudo apt-get install parallel (For Ubuntu). The minimum requirment for training is 8 Nvidia A100 40G GPUs, and for reference, you should have 1 Nvidia V100 16G GPU at least.

Pre-trained models

We use $7$ ImageNet-pre-trained models. Please download them from the provided links as below:

0. CotNet50: download_from_original_repo; The original project is CoTNet.

1. ResNet50: No need to download manually;

2. SKNet50: Google Drive; The original project is SKNet-PyTorch. Because it does not include the pre-trained models, please download the sknet.py file in this repository and follow the instruction in the Pretrain folder.
