Res2Net

The official pytorch implemention of the paper "Res2Net: A New Multi-scale Backbone Architecture"

Our paper is accepted by IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence (TPAMI).

We propose a novel building block for CNNs, namely Res2Net, by constructing hierarchical residual-like connections within one single residual block. The Res2Net represents multi-scale features at a granular level and increases the range of receptive fields for each network layer. The proposed Res2Net block can be plugged into the state-of-the-art backbone CNN models, e.g. , ResNet, ResNeXt, BigLittleNet, and DLA. We evaluate the Res2Net block on all these models and demonstrate consistent performance gains over baseline models.

Useage

Requirement

PyTorch>=0.4.1 (PyTorch1.0 and 1.1 are supported.)

Examples

git clone https://github.com/gasvn/Res2Net.git

from res2net import res2net50
model = res2net50(pretrained=True)

Input image should be normalized as follows:

normalize = transforms.Normalize(mean=[0.485, 0.456, 0.406],
                                  std=[0.229, 0.224, 0.225])

(By default, the model will be downloaded automatically.
