InstaBoost

This repository is implementation of ICCV2019 paper "InstaBoost: Boosting Instance Segmentation Via Probability Map Guided Copy-Pasting". Our paper has been released on arXiv https://arxiv.org/abs/1908.07801.

Install InstaBoost

1. Requirements
   We implement our method on Python 3.5. To install InstaBoost, use this command.

pip install instaboost

The detail implementation can be found here.

Quick Start

Currently we have integrated InstaBoost into three open implementations: mmdetection, detectron and yolact.

• mmdetection: Checkout mmdetection.

• detectron: Checkout detectron.

• yolact: Checkout yolact

Since these frameworks may continue updating, codes in this repo may be a little different from their current repo.

Use InstaBoost In Your Project

It is easy to integrate InstaBoost into your framework. You can refer to instructions of our implementations here, here and here

Setup InstaBoost Configurations

To change InstaBoost Configurations, users can use function InstaBoostConfig.

Model Zoo

Results and models are available in the Model zoo. More models are coming!
