# DetectoRS

## Introduction

[ALGORITHM]

We provide the config files for [DetectoRS: Detecting Objects with Recursive Feature Pyramid and Switchable Atrous Convolution](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2006.02334.pdf).

## Dataset

DetectoRS requires COCO and [COCO-stuff](http://calvin.inf.ed.ac.uk/wp-content/uploads/data/cocostuffdataset/stuffthingmaps_trainval2017.zip) dataset for training. You need to download and extract it in the COCO dataset path.
The directory should be like this.

```none

## Results and Models

DetectoRS includes two major components:

- Recursive Feature Pyramid (RFP).
- Switchable Atrous Convolution (SAC).

They can be used independently.
Combining them together results in DetectoRS.
The results on COCO 2017 val are shown in the below table.
