1. 网络:
    1. 除了backbone部分,其他的fpn、分类subnet和回归subnet都不加bn;
    2. fpn的部分不加激活,回归和分类subnet加relu激活,最后的回归不加激活;
    3. p6到p7要做激活;
  2. loss:
    1. 回归只计算正样本的loss,且除以正样本的个数
    2. 分类只计算正样本和负样本的loss,并且也是除以正样本的个数,而不是除以正负样本的。
  3. 回归subnet是不共享参数的,分类subnet共享参数
  4. 最后预测的时候,对预测的所有概率进行排序,然后取前1000个bbox,然后卡0.05的阈值,最后做nms,nms的阈值是0.5.
  5. 分类的最后一个conv的bias初始化为-log((1-0.01)/0.01),其他照样初始化为0,子网络其他部分卷积核进行标准差为0.01的高斯初始化,bias为0初始化。
  6. 除了backbone部分使用迁移学习,其他conv参数的初始化都使用,均值为0.,标准差为0.01的高斯分布,不然有一定概率出现模型不收敛,然后loss爆炸。

keras中是直接回归两个角的坐标

其实也是可以回归中心点和宽高的。
如下所示,直接回归角点坐标的一个变换,而不是中心点和宽高:

targets_dx1 = (gt_boxes[:, 0] - anchors[:, 0]) / anchor_widths
targets_dy1 = (gt_boxes[:, 1] - anchors[:, 1]) / anchor_heights
targets_dx2 = (gt_boxes[:, 2] - anchors[:, 2]) / anchor_widths
targets_dy2 = (gt_boxes[:, 3] - anchors[:, 3]) / anchor_heights

然后最后的网络回归的数值还要再在之前的上面除以一个0.2

if mean is None:
        mean = np.array([0, 0, 0, 0])
if std is None:
    std = np.array([0.2, 0.2, 0.2, 0.2])
targets = np.stack((targets_dx1, targets_dy1, targets_dx2, targets_dy2))
targets = targets.T

targets = (targets - mean) / std
