Taming Self-Training for Open-Vocabulary Object Detection

Official implementation of online self-training and a split-and-fusion (SAF) head for Open-Vocabulary Object Detection (OVD), SAS-Det for short. This project was named as Improving Pseudo Labels for Open-Vocabulary Object Detection.

Installation

• Our project is developed on Detectron2. Please follow the official installation instructions, OR the following instructions.

# create new environment
conda create -n sas_det python=3.8
conda activate sas_det

# install pytorch
conda install pytorch==1.12.0 torchvision==0.13.0 torchaudio==0.12.0 cudatoolkit=11.3 -c pytorch

# install Detectron2 from a local clone
git clone https://github.com/facebookresearch/detectron2.git
python -m pip install -e detectron2

• Install CLIP

# install CLIP
pip install scipy
pip install ftfy regex tqdm
pip install git+https://github.com/openai/CLIP.git

Datasets

• Please follow RegionCLIP's dataset instructions to prepare COCO and LVIS datasets.

• Download and put metadata for datasets in the folder datasets (i.e., $DETECTRON2_DATASETS used in the last step), which will be used in our evaluation and training.

Download pretrained weights

• Download various RegionCLIP's pretrained weights. Check here for more details. Create a new folder pretrained_ckpt to put those weights. In this repository, regionclip, concept_emb and rpn will be used.

• Download our pretrained weights and put them in corresponding folders in pretrained_ckpt. Our pretrained weights includes:

  • r50_3x_pre_RegCLIP_cocoRPN_2: RPN weights pretrained only with COCO Base categories. This is used for experiments on COCO to avoid potential data leakage.
  • concept_emb: Complementary to RegionCLIP's concept_emb.
