# Instance-Conditional Knowledge Distillation for Object Detection
This is the official implementation of the paper "Instance-Conditional Knowledge Distillation for Object Detection", based on [MegEngine](./megengine_release/README.md) and [Pytorch](./pytorch_release/README.md). Go to the desired subfolders for more information and guidance!

## Usage
You can find two implementations for [MegEngine](./megengine_release/README.md) and [Pytorch](./pytorch_release/README.md) under two sub-folders. We use the latter one to report the performance in the paper. Switch to the subfolder for more information.

### Try it in a few lines :
Take the detectron2 implementation as an example, you can train your model in a few lines:
```
cd pytorch_release

# Install dependancies
pip install pip --upgrade
pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install https://github.com/facebookresearch/detectron2/archive/refs/tags/v0.5.tar.gz
pip install 'git+https://github.com/aim-uofa/AdelaiDet.git@7bf9d87'

# Prepare dataset according to https://github.com/facebookresearch/detectron2/tree/main/datasets

# Train and distill a retinanet detector with ICD
python3 train_distill.py --num-gpus 8 --resume --config-file configs/Distillation-ICD/retinanet_R_50_R101_icd_FPN_1x.yaml OUTPUT_DIR output/icd_retinanet
```

## Performance
For object detection in MS-COCO:
| Model | Baseline (BoxAP) | + Ours (BoxAP) |
| --- | :---: | :---: |
| Faster R-CNN | 37.9 | 40.9 (+3.0) |
| Retinanet | 37.4 | 40.7 (+3.3) |
| FCOS | 39.4 | 42.9 (+3.5) |

For instance-segmentation in MS-COCO:
| Model | Baseline (BoxAP) | + Ours (BoxAP) | Baseline (MaskAP) | + Ours (MaskAP) |
| --- | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: |
| Mask R-CNN | 38.6 | 41.2 (+2.6) | 35.2 | 37.4 (+2.2) |
| SOLOv2 | - | - | 34.6 | 38.5 (+3.9) |
| CondInst |39.7 | 43.7 (+4.0) | 35.7 | 39.1 (+3.4) |
