## Introduction

MMDetection is an open source object detection toolbox based on PyTorch. It is
a part of the OpenMMLab project.

The master branch works with PyTorch 1.5+.

Major features

• Modular Design

  We decompose the detection framework into different components and one can easily construct a customized object detection framework by combining different modules.

• Support of multiple frameworks out of box

  The toolbox directly supports popular and contemporary detection frameworks, e.g. Faster RCNN, Mask RCNN, RetinaNet, etc.

• High efficiency

  All basic bbox and mask operations run on GPUs. The training speed is faster than or comparable to other codebases, including Detectron2, maskrcnn-benchmark and SimpleDet.

• State of the art

  The toolbox stems from the codebase developed by the MMDet team, who won COCO Detection Challenge in 2018, and we keep pushing it forward.

Apart from MMDetection, we also released a library mmcv for computer vision research, which is heavily depended on by this toolbox.

What's New

💎 Stable version

2.28.2 was released in 27/2/2023:

• Fixed some known documentation, configuration and linking error issues

Please refer to changelog.md for details and release history.

For compatibility changes between different versions of MMDetection, please refer to compatibility.md.

🌟 Preview of 3.x version

Highlight

We are excited to announce our latest work on real-time object recognition tasks, RTMDet, a family of fully convolutional single-stage detectors. RTMDet not only achieves the best parameter-accuracy trade-off on object detection from tiny to extra-large model sizes but also obtains new state-of-the-art performance on instance segmentation and rotated object detection tasks. Details can be found in the technical report. Pre-trained models are here.

Task	Dataset	AP	FPS(TRT FP16 BS1 3090)
Object Detection	COCO	52.8	322
Instance Segmentation	COCO	44.6	188
Rotated Object Detection	DOTA	78.9(single-scale)/81.3(multi-scale)	121

A brand new version of MMDetection v3.0.0rc6 was released in 27/2/2023:

• Support Boxinst, Objects365 Dataset, and Separated and Occluded COCO metric
• Support ConvNeXt-V2, DiffusionDet, and inference of EfficientDet and Detic in Projects
• Refactor DETR series and support Conditional-DETR, DAB-DETR, and DINO
• Support DetInferencer, Test Time Augmentation, and auto import modules from registry
• Support RTMDet-Ins ONNXRuntime and TensorRT deployment
• Support calculating FLOPs of detectors
