“Fast R-CNN”, 2015-04-30 (; similar):
This paper proposes a Fast Region-based Convolutional Network method (Fast R-CNN) for object detection. Fast R-CNN builds on previous work to efficiently classify object proposals using deep convolutional networks. Compared to previous work, Fast R-CNN employs several innovations to improve training and testing speed while also increasing detection accuracy.
Fast R-CNN trains the very deep VGG-16 network 9× faster than R-CNN, is 213× faster at test-time, and achieves a higher mAP on PASCAL VOC 2012. Compared to SPPnet, Fast R-CNN trains VGG-16 3× faster, tests 10× faster, and is more accurate.
Fast R-CNN is implemented in Python and C++ (using Caffe) and is available under the open-source MIT License at Github.
