# Projects based on MMDetection

There are many projects built upon MMDetection.
We list some of them as examples of how to extend MMDetection for your own projects.
As the page might not be completed, please feel free to create a PR to update this page.

## Projects as an extension

Some projects extend the boundary of MMDetection for deployment or other research fields.
They reveal the potential of what MMDetection can do. We list several of them as below.

- [OTEDetection](https://github.com/opencv/mmdetection): OpenVINO training extensions for object detection.
- [MMDetection3d](https://github.com/open-mmlab/mmdetection3d): OpenMMLab's next-generation platform for general 3D object detection.

## Projects of papers

There are also projects released with papers.
Some of the papers are published in top-tier conferences (CVPR, ICCV, and ECCV), the others are also highly influential.
To make this list also a reference for the community to develop and compare new object detection algorithms, we list them following the time order of top-tier conferences.
Methods already supported and maintained by MMDetection are not listed.
