mmdetection use common BatchNorm without freeze?
In SSD series batchNorm is unfrozen
I detectron and other faster RCNN batchNorm is frozen.
I want to train with BN and big batch size 4*16. Do I need change something?
PS: this trick is used in SNIPER and in competion WIDER winner.
You can set the arguments bn_eval and bn_frozen of backbone field in the config file to False, then parameters of BN layers will be updated during training.
@hellock Thank you!
Batch Norm train with "synchronize BN"?
Synchronized BN is currently not supported and we have the plan to add it later. If you set bn_eval and bn_frozen as False, the normal BN is used.
