Code for our Paper DAFNe: A One-Stage Anchor-Free Deep Model for Oriented Object Detection.

• DOTA 1.0/1.5: https://captain-whu.github.io/DOTA/index.html
• HRSC2016: https://www.kaggle.com/guofeng/hrsc2016

Use the Dockerfile to build the necessary docker image:

docker build -t dafne .

Check out ./configs/ for different pre-defined configurations for the DOTA 1.0, DOTA 1.5 and HRSC2016 datasets. Use these paths as argument for the --config-file option below.

Use the ./tools/run.py helper to start running experiments

./tools/run.py --gpus 0,1,2,3 --config-file ./configs/dota-1.0/1024.yaml

NVIDIA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1,2,3 ./tools/plain_train_net.py --num-gpus 4 --config-file ./configs/dota-1.0/1024.yaml

./tools/run.py --gpus 0 --config-file <CONFIG_PATH> --opts "MODEL.WEIGHTS <WEIGHTS_PATH>"

NVIDIA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 ./tools/plain_train_net.py --num-gpus 1 --config-file <CONFIG_PATH> MODEL.WEIGHTS <WEIGHTS_PATH>
