# SOLO: Segmenting Objects by Locations - PaddlePaddle version

> This directory is a realization scheme of PaddlePaddle high-performance deep learning framework.

[PaddeDetection](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/PaddleDetection) adopts the idea of modularization and has built-in rich data set enhancement strategy, backbone, network module and loss function. After understanding the excellent work of SOLO, we also implemented the PaddlePaddle version. We hope you can love it.

**Notes:**

- SOLOv2 is trained on COCO train2017 dataset and evaluated on val2017 results of `mAP(IoU=0.5:0.95)`.

## Enhanced model

**Optimizing method of enhanced model:**
- Better backbone network: ResNet50vd-DCN
- A better pre-training model for knowledge distillation
- [Exponential Moving Average](https://www.investopedia.com/terms/e/ema.asp)
- Synchronized Batch Normalization
- Multi-scale training
- More data augmentation methods
- DropBlock
