Notes:

• dconv and mdconv denote (modulated) deformable convolution, c3-c5 means adding dconv in resnet stage 3 to 5. dpool and mdpool denote (modulated) deformable roi pooling.
• The dcn ops are modified from https://github.com/chengdazhi/Deformable-Convolution-V2-PyTorch, which should be more memory efficient and slightly faster.
• (*) For R-50-FPN (dg=4), dg is short for deformable_group. This model is trained and tested on Amazon EC2 p3dn.24xlarge instance.
• Memory, Train/Inf time is outdated.
