• [2021/01/20] Add some stronger ImageNet pretrained models, e.g., the HRNet_W48_C_ssld_pretrained.pth achieved top-1 acc 83.6%.

• [2020/03/13] Our paper is accepted by TPAMI: Deep High-Resolution Representation Learning for Visual Recognition.

• Per request, we provide two small HRNet models. #parameters and GFLOPs are similar to ResNet18. The segmentation resutls using the two small models are also available at https://github.com/HRNet/HRNet-Semantic-Segmentation.

• TensoFlow implemenation available at https://github.com/yuanyuanli85/tf-hrnet. Thanks VictorLi!

• ONNX export enabled after fixing issues. Thanks Baowen Bao!

This is the official code of high-resolution representations for ImageNet classification. We augment the HRNet with a classification head shown in the figure below. First, the four-resolution feature maps are fed into a bottleneck and the number of output channels are increased to 128, 256, 512, and 1024, respectively. Then, we downsample the high-resolution representations by a 2-strided 3x3 convolution outputting 256 channels and add them to the representations of the second-high-resolution representations. This process is repeated two times to get 1024 channels over the small resolution. Last, we transform 1024 channels to 2048 channels through a 1x1 convolution, followed by a global average pooling operation. The output 2048-dimensional representation is fed into the classifier.

HRNetV2 ImageNet pretrained models are now available!

Newly added checkpoints:

In the above Table, the first 2 checkpoints are trained with CosineLR, CutMix data augmentation and for longer epochs, i.e., 300epochs. The other two checkpoints are converted from PaddleClas. Please refer to SSLD tutorial for more details.

1. Install PyTorch=0.4.1 following the official instructions
2. git clone https://github.com/HRNet/HRNet-Image-Classification
3. Install dependencies: pip install -r requirements.txt

You can follow the Pytorch implementation: https://github.com/pytorch/examples/tree/master/imagenet

The data should be under ./data/imagenet/images/.

Please specify the configuration file.

For example, train the HRNet-W18 on ImageNet with a batch size of 128 on 4 GPUs:

python tools/train.py --cfg experiments/cls_hrnet_w18_sgd_lr5e-2_wd1e-4_bs32_x100.yaml

For example, test the HRNet-W18 on ImageNet on 4 GPUs:

python tools/valid.py --cfg experiments/cls_hrnet_w18_sgd_lr5e-2_wd1e-4_bs32_x100.yaml --testModel hrnetv2_w18_imagenet_pretrained.pth
