| ## 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! | |
