    """BFP (Balanced Feature Pyramids)

    BFP takes multi-level features as inputs and gather them into a single one,
    then refine the gathered feature and scatter the refined results to
    multi-level features. This module is used in Libra R-CNN (CVPR 2019), see
    the paper `Libra R-CNN: Towards Balanced Learning for Object Detection
    <https://arxiv.org/abs/1904.02701>`_ for details.

    Args:
        in_channels (int): Number of input channels (feature maps of all levels
            should have the same channels).
        num_levels (int): Number of input feature levels.
        conv_cfg (dict): The config dict for convolution layers.
        norm_cfg (dict): The config dict for normalization layers.
        refine_level (int): Index of integration and refine level of BSF in
            multi-level features from bottom to top.
        refine_type (str): Type of the refine op, currently support
            [None, 'conv', 'non_local'].
        init_cfg (dict or list[dict], optional): Initialization config dict.
