This article introduces the solutions of the team lvisTraveler for LVIS Challenge 2020. In this work, two characteristics of LVIS dataset are mainly considered: the long-tailed distribution and high quality instance segmentation mask. We adopt a two-stage training pipeline. In the first stage, we incorporate EQL and self-training to learn generalized representation. In the second stage, we utilize Balanced GroupSoftmax to promote the classifier, and propose a novel proposal assignment strategy and a new balanced mask loss for mask head to get more precise mask predictions. Finally, we achieve 41.5 and 41.2 AP on LVIS v1.0 val and test-dev splits respectively, outperforming the baseline based on X101-FPN-MaskRCNN by a large margin.
