Contributions summary:Jing primarily contributed to the development and enhancement of rotated object detection capabilities within the Detectron2 framework. Their work involved enabling inferencing and visualization for rotated models, implementing XYWHA to XYXY box conversions, and fixing issues related to numerical instability and incorrect IoU calculations specific to rotated boxes. The user also developed a universal COCO-style evaluation framework for rotated object detection, demonstrating a strong understanding of computer vision and model evaluation techniques. Furthermore, they addressed critical runtime errors and supported the model conversion to Caffe2.
