## Introduction

MMDetection is an open source object detection toolbox based on PyTorch. It is
a part of the [OpenMMLab](https://openmmlab.com/) project.

The master branch works with **PyTorch 1.5+**.

<img src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/12907710/137271636-56ba1cd2-b110-4812-8221-b4c120320aa9.png"/>

<details open>
<summary>Major features</summary>

- **Modular Design**

  We decompose the detection framework into different components and one can easily construct a customized object detection framework by combining different modules.

- **Support of multiple frameworks out of box**

  The toolbox directly supports popular and contemporary detection frameworks, *e.g.* Faster RCNN, Mask RCNN, RetinaNet, etc.

- **High efficiency**

  All basic bbox and mask operations run on GPUs. The training speed is faster than or comparable to other codebases, including [Detectron2](https://github.com/facebookresearch/detectron2), [maskrcnn-benchmark](https://github.com/facebookresearch/maskrcnn-benchmark) and [SimpleDet](https://github.com/TuSimple/simpledet).

- **State of the art**

  The toolbox stems from the codebase developed by the *MMDet* team, who won [COCO Detection Challenge](http://cocodataset.org/#detection-leaderboard) in 2018, and we keep pushing it forward.

</details>

Apart from MMDetection, we also released a library [mmcv](https://github.com/open-mmlab/mmcv) for computer vision research, which is heavily depended on by this toolbox.

## What's New

### 💎 Stable version

**2.26.0** was released in 23/11/2022:

- Support training on [NPU](docs/en/device/npu.md).

Please refer to [changelog.md](docs/en/changelog.md) for details and release history.

For compatibility changes between different versions of MMDetection, please refer to [compatibility.md](docs/en/compatibility.md).

### 🌟 Preview of 3.x version

A brand new version of **MMDetection v3.0.0rc0** was released in 31/8/2022:

- Unifies interfaces of all components based on [MMEngine](https://github.com/open-mmlab/mmengine).
- Faster training and testing speed with complete support of mixed precision training.
- Refactored and more flexible [architecture](https://mmdetection.readthedocs.io/en/v3.0.0rc0/overview.html).
- Provides more strong baselines and a general semi-supervised object detection framework. See [tutorial of semi-supervised detection](https://mmdetection.readthedocs.io/en/v3.0.0rc0/user_guides/semi_det.html).
- Allows any kind of single-stage model as an RPN in a two-stage model. See [tutorial](https://mmdetection.readthedocs.io/en/v3.0.0rc0/user_guides/single_stage_as_rpn.html).

Find more new features in [3.x branch](https://github.com/open-mmlab/mmdetection/tree/3.x). Issues and PRs are welcome!
