Fast Fourier Convolution (FFC) for Image Classification

This is the official code of Fast Fourier Convolution for image classification on ImageNet.

Main Results

Results on ImageNet

Method	GFLOPs	#Params	Top-1 Acc
ResNet-50	4.1	25.6	76.3
FFC-ResNet-50	4.2	26.1	77.6
FFC-ResNet-50 (+LFU)	4.3	26.7	77.8

Quick starts

Requirements

• pip install -r requirements.txt

Data preparation

You can follow the Pytorch implementation: https://github.com/pytorch/examples/tree/master/imagenet

Training

To train a model, run main.py with the desired model architecture and other super-paremeters:

python main.py -a ffc_resnet50 --lfu [imagenet-folder with train and val folders]

We use "lfu" to control whether to use Local Fourier Unit (LFU). Default: False.

Testing

python main.py -a ffc_resnet50 --lfu --resume PATH/TO/CHECKPOINT [imagenet-folder with train and val folders]
