I'd like to use some alternatives to Non-Maximum Suppression (NMS) below in detectron2:
soft-NMS
Non-Maximum Weighted (NMW)
Weighted Boxes Fusion (WBF)
Motivation & Examples
NMS is one of the most conventional techniques to eliminate redundant bounding boxes
But some techniques show better results than NMS:
soft-NMS
Non-Maximum Weighted (NMW)
Weighted Boxes Fusion (WBF)
Soft-NMS surpasses NMS on PASCAL VOC 2007 and MS-COCO for R-FCN and Faster-RCNN
Note
We only consider adding new features if they are relevant to many users.
If you request implementation of research papers -- we only consider papers that have enough significance and prevalance in the object detection field.
We do not take requests for most projects in the projects/ directory, because they are research code release that is mainly for other researchers to reproduce results.
"Make X faster/accurate" is not a valid feature request. "Implement a concrete feature that can make X faster/accurate" can be a valid feature request.
Instead of adding features inside detectron2,
you can implement many features by extending detectron2.
The projects/ directory contains many of such examples.
