Darknet: Have you read about this Xailient’s Detectum? (up to 300 FPS on a Raspberry)

[isra60]

I 've found this article and I am impressed with the FPS and high accuracy they announce.

I don't believe it. no details, no code. just hype.

What Dataset/Challenge did they use to get these mAP results?

I think even MixNet https://github.com/AlexeyAB/darknet/issues/4203#issuecomment-553129025 + FPN/TridentNet + [yolo]-GIoU-layers outperform Xailient’s Detectum in speed/accuracy, if @dkurt will add squeze-n-excitation blocks for Darknet to OpenCV-dnn.

But XNOR-net (MixNet-M-Xnor + SVR) can be much faster on low-end CPUs or FPGA, especially with Yolov3-GIoU layers: https://github.com/AlexeyAB/darknet/issues/3054

I think even MixNet #4203 (comment) + FPN/TridentNet + [yolo]-GIoU-layers outperform Xailient’s Detectum in speed/accuracy, if @dkurt will add squeze-n-excitation blocks for Darknet to OpenCV-dnn.

Feel free to open an issue to not to miss this feature request. Thanks!

Xailient’s Detectum? (up to 300 FPS on a Raspberry)
how to get the paper?thank you

That whole article was Just air..

@dkurt Hi,

I added Feature request: https://github.com/opencv/opencv/issues/15987

After these improvements are implemented, I will add a request for larger changes for supporting MixNet + EfficientDet + Gaussian_yolo ...

It is interesting to see how efficiently the EfficientNet networks (mainly grouped/depthwise convolutions) can be processed on Intel CPU and Intel Myriad X neurochips.

Xailient has proven the Detectum software performs CV 98.7% more efficiently without losing accuracy. Detectum object detection, which performs both localization and classification of objects in images and video, has been demonstrated to outperform the industry-leading YOLOv3.
Xailient achieved the same accuracy 76x faster than the Cloud Baseline, and was 8x faster than the Edge Baseline without the accuracy penalty.

Just claims.
