Facebook's AI team Releases Detectron - A Platform for Object Detection Research - Analytics Vidhya

We covered Google's Cloud AutoML Vision last week and, as we predicted, Facebook has already come out with a platform for object detection of it's own – Detectron. Detectron is a software system developed by Facebook's AI Research team (FAIR) that "implements state-of the art object detection algorithms". It is written in Python and leverages the Caffee2 deep learning framework underneath. Detectron aims to provide a high quality and industry standard codebase for object detection research. The results it has posted are incredibly accurate.
