Data & Code

If you're interested in benchmarking your proposal detection method or in the code or data please contact me:Jan Hosang

I'm in the process of preparing data and code for release. You can find everything that is available so far below. Please let me know if you're missing something!

  • You can find the code at GitHub
  • For the recall experiments (see Section 4 in the paper), we run twelve detection proposal methods and four baseline methods over the pascal test set.
    • You can download the results of matching the proposals to the ground truth, which is smaller than all proposals: download (38MB, md5sum: aa574be08b8b235486b4e7cb49193ec9)
    • You can download the detection propsals: download (9.5GB, md5sum: 7a9ef3fa031e33bd044fc5ce4f1b83cf)
  • We also do recall experiments on ImageNet (see Section 4 in the paper).
    • Results of matching proposals to the ground truth, which is smaller than the set of all proposals: download (64MB, md5sum: fa6c9ea6c8bf0cb86d02b712aec6864d)
    • You can also download the proposals: download (9.7GB, md5sum: b67955b771f1304e70bd2cfd278d2de5)
  • Data from the recall experiments on COCO (see Section 4 in the paper).
    • Results of matching proposals to the ground truth: download (254MB, md5sum: 2e17c9998b3eaf2bff0a6b40916867bf)
    • Proposals: download (77GB, md5sum: efff6194c7597cccc4058e6103ccb59c)
  • For repeatability experiments (see Section 3 in the paper), we applied a number of perturbations to the pascal test set.
    • Here, you can download the transformed pascal images (70GB, md5sum: 5a3095a3ed893e098717fa9c88e19929)
    • You can download the result of the matching of proposals on the transformed pascal images to reproduce the plots (133MB, md5sum: 28a1722caf9e37b011d8b52ea24a7220)
