Required Data

To evaluate or train the model, you will need to download the required preprocessed datasets:

Train Validation Test
Gen1 download download download
1 Mpx dataset needs to be downloaded from the following repository and then processed using precompute_reps.py file.
Annotations for GEN1 and 1 Mpx datasets can be downloaded from here.

	Train	Validation	Test
Gen1	download	download	download

Pre-trained Checkpoints

Contains folders of all trained models (in the end full YOLOv6 backbone that is now on-par with Swin-V2 but faster training and less memory). Each folder has weights folder, and we use best_ckpt.pt as the checkpoint.
Currently, contains two optimized representations we found (small variations), by default the second one is used - aim for gen1_optimized_2 and gen1_optimized_augment_2 weights when evaluating.
If you want to use the first one, uncomment it at lines 16-66 (optimized_representation.py) and comment out the second one (lines 86-134).
gen1_optimized_augment_2 should produce the following results (50.6% mAP):

 Average Precision  (AP) @[ IoU=0.50:0.95 | area=   all | maxDets=100 ] = 0.506
 Average Precision  (AP) @[ IoU=0.50      | area=   all | maxDets=100 ] = 0.775
 Average Precision  (AP) @[ IoU=0.75      | area=   all | maxDets=100 ] = 0.539
 Average Precision  (AP) @[ IoU=0.50:0.95 | area= small | maxDets=100 ] = 0.420
 Average Precision  (AP) @[ IoU=0.50:0.95 | area=medium | maxDets=100 ] = 0.580
 Average Precision  (AP) @[ IoU=0.50:0.95 | area= large | maxDets=100 ] = 0.528
 Average Recall     (AR) @[ IoU=0.50:0.95 | area=   all | maxDets=  1 ] = 0.319
 Average Recall     (AR) @[ IoU=0.50:0.95 | area=   all | maxDets= 10 ] = 0.635
 Average Recall     (AR) @[ IoU=0.50:0.95 | area=   all | maxDets=100 ] = 0.666
 Average Recall     (AR) @[ IoU=0.50:0.95 | area= small | maxDets=100 ] = 0.622
 Average Recall     (AR) @[ IoU=0.50:0.95 | area=medium | maxDets=100 ] = 0.712
 Average Recall     (AR) @[ IoU=0.50:0.95 | area= large | maxDets=100 ] = 0.666

Evaluation

Set DATASET_PATH as the path to either the 1 Mpx or Gen1 dataset directory
Set OUTPUT_DIR to the path where you want to save evaluation outputs.
Set conf-file's (e.g. ev-YOLOv6/configs/gen1_optimized_augment2.py by default; configs are same for both gen1 and gen4) pre-trained parameter to the path of the model (best_ckpt.pt)
Evaluation scripts also start from train.py file, but use testing parameter

For simplicity, we are only showing the validation script for Gen1. For 1 Mpx it should be similar.

Mini N-ImageNet experiments

All details regarding the execution of Mini N-ImageNet experiments can be seen in n_imagenet/scripts folder.
Details on how to download the Mini N-ImageNet dataset and prepare data can be seen at their official repo here.

Running GWD computation

Computation can be run with the following command:

ID=0
REP_NAME=VoxelGrid

CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=$ID python representations/representation_search/gen1_compute.py \
--event_representation_name $REP_NAME

where ID represents ID of the device, and REP_NAME represents the representation name.

Running Gryffin optimization

python representations/representation_search/optimization.py
Change file Path to the directory of GEN1 folder where training.h5, validation.h5 and testing.h5 files are.
Change SAVE_PATH of run_optimization function to the path where you want to save the results.
