SSD Keras

This is a Keras port of the SSD model architecture introduced by Wei Liu et al. in the paper SSD: Single Shot MultiBox Detector. Ports of the trained weights of all the original models are provided below. This implementation is accurate, meaning that both the ported weights and models trained from scratch produce the same mAP values as the respective models of the original Caffe implementation. The main goal of this project is to create an SSD implementation that is well documented for those who are interested in a low-level understanding of the model. The provided tutorials, documentation and detailed comments hopefully make it a bit easier to dig into the code and adapt or build upon the model than with most other implementations out there (Keras or otherwise) that provide little to no documentation and comments. Use one of the provided trained models for transfer learning.
