This project is a modular research toolkit designed for developing, training, and evaluating deep learning models for object detection, segmentation, and video instance tracking. It provides a flexible training engine that manages complex neural network execution, including distributed training, custom lifecycle hooks, and weight optimization. The framework is built around a hierarchical configuration system that allows users to define architectures, data pipelines, and training hyperparameters through composable, inheritable files.
The project distinguishes itself through its highly modular architecture, which utilizes a registry-based component injection system to allow users to swap model components or implement custom modules without modifying core source code. It supports advanced workflows such as semi-supervised learning, where models are trained by combining labeled and unlabeled data through multi-branch pipelines and teacher-student weight synchronization. Additionally, the framework includes specialized utilities for video-based tracking, enabling the evaluation of algorithms that maintain object identities across frames.
Beyond its core training capabilities, the project offers a comprehensive suite for data management, model evaluation, and production deployment. It features a standardized data pipeline architecture that handles loading, augmentation, and annotation conversion for diverse computer vision datasets. The toolkit also includes diagnostic utilities for benchmarking performance, visualizing predictions, and exporting trained models into optimized formats for production inference.
The project is distributed as a Python package with comprehensive installation utilities that support environment setup and hardware-specific configuration. Documentation and verification scripts are provided to assist users in validating installations and executing inference demos.
