This repository provides the EfficientDet-D0 network trained to detect different object categories including person, car, traffic light, etc. This pretrained model is trained using COCO 2017 [3] dataset which have 80 different object categories.
EfficientDet-D0 largely follows the one stage object detector paradigm and uses pre-defined anchors to detect objects. With a weighted bi-directional feature pyramidal network enhanced with fast normalization, it leverages easy and fast multi-scale feature fusion from different levels of the backbone network.

Transfer learning enables you to adapt a pretrained EfficientDet-D0 network to your dataset. Create a custom EfficientDet-D0 network for transfer learning with a new set of classes and train using the efficientDetD0TransferLearn.m script.
Code generation enables you to generate code and deploy EfficientDet-D0 on multiple embedded platforms.
Run codegenEfficientDetD0.m. This script calls the efficientDetD0_predict.m entry point function and generate CUDA code for it. It will run the generated MEX and gives output.

EfficientDets are a family of object detection models. These are developed based on the advanced EfficientNet backbones, a new BiFPN module, and compound scaling technique. They follow the one-stage detectors paradigm.
-
Backbone: EfficientNets[2] are used as backbone networks for this class of object detectors. EfficientNets are a class of convolutional neural network architecture and scaling method that uniformly scales all dimensions of depth/width/resolution using a compound coefficient. Unlike conventional practice that arbitrary scales these factors, the EfficientNet scaling method uniformly scales network width, depth, and resolution with a set of fixed scaling coefficients. It has eight variants out of which, EfficientNet-B0 is used as the backbone for this model.
-
BiFPN Module: A weighted bi-directional feature pyramidal network enhanced with fast normalization, which enables easy and fast multi-scale feature fusion. This module takes level 3-7 features (P3, P4, P5, P6, P7) from the backbone network and repeatedly applies top-down and bottom-up bidirectional feature fusion. These fused features are fed to a class prediction network and box prediction network to produce object class and bounding box predictions respectively. The class and box prediction network weights are shared across all levels of features.
This module is implemented using a combination of layers such as convolution, resize, element-wise multiplication, element-wise addition, element-wise division etc.
-
Scaling: A compound scaling method that uniformly scales the resolution, depth, and width for all backbone, feature network, and box/class prediction networks at the same time. This method helps in optimizing both accuracy and efficiency for the model.
-
Class Prediction Net: This network processes the fused features from the previous BiFPN modules and produces class prediction outputs. This network is implemented using a combination of layers such as convolution, sigmoid, element-wise multiplication etc.
-
Box Prediction Net: This network processes the fused features from the previous BiFPN modules and produces bounding box prediction outputs. This network is implemented using a combination of layers such as convolution, sigmoid, element-wise multiplication etc.
