Configuration

Our implementation is based on the Faster R-CNN, please see the Requirements for helping configure your Caffe environment.

Demo for Vehicle Detection

To run the demo

python tools/demo.py

Models can be seen at data/vgg16_eb_5(1-3-5)_final.caffemodel which indicate the use of features of final convolutional layer( the 1st, 3rd and the 5th convolutional layers).

Training & Testing

Datasets

We trained and tested our model on the recent DETRAC vehicle detection dataset, you can download datasets at their website.

Training and validation datasets preparation operations can be seen at data/data_prepare/*:

Considering the continuous frames in each directory (25 frames per seconds), we trained our model every three frames for saving traing time.
In order to prevent mistaking foreground with background, ignored regions in every picture are replaced by black occlusions.
My datasets directory structure like this:

*DATA_PATH
	*Insight-MVT_Annotation_Train
		*Cloudy_MVI_39931
		*...
	*Insight-MVT_Annotation_Test
		*MVI_39031
		*...
	*anno
		*Cloudy_MVI_39931
		*...

Training:

We have four options of multi-layer feature concatenation:1-3-5(1st, 3rd and 5th convolutional layers), 3-5, 3-4-5 and only final convolutional layer.
You need replace the DATA_PATH in experiments/scripts/train.sh with your own dataset path

./experiments/scripts/train.sh GPU([0-9]) NET(VGG16) DATASET(detrac) HYPERNET(1-3-5/3-5/3-4-5/5)

The training models are saved under output/default/

Testing:

Like Training process, you need to replace theDATA_PATH in experiments/scripts/test.sh :

./experiments/scripts/test.sh GPU([0-9]) NET(VGG16) DATASET(detrac) HYPERNET(1-3-5/3-5/3-4-5/5)

The testing results are saved as files in data/test_results according to the detection submission format.
