We don't benchmark EfficientDet.
It is an open-weight model from Google under the Apache 2.0 license, and free for commercial use.
EfficientDet Overview
EfficientDet is an object detection model developed by Google Research, released in November 2019. It introduces a compound scaling method that uniformly scales the resolution, depth, and width of the detection network, building on the EfficientNet backbone and a bidirectional feature pyramid network (BiFPN) for multi-scale feature fusion. This design achieves strong accuracy-efficiency tradeoffs across a family of models ranging from EfficientDet-D0 to D7.
EfficientDet License
Apache-2.0 · Permissive licenseEfficientDet is released under the Apache 2.0 license, so it's commercially usable out of the box: you can ship it in closed-source, commercial products, including self-hosted deployments, without paying a license fee or open-sourcing your code. The EfficientDet license is permissive, so no separate commercial license is required.
- Commercial use
- Permitted. Because Apache-2.0 is permissive, EfficientDet can ship inside paid products and internal systems with no commercial license and no revenue threshold.
- Modification
- Permitted. Fine-tuning, quantizing, and distilling are all allowed, and your code changes can stay closed. Files you change must be marked as changed.
- Redistribution
- Permitted with attribution. Ship the Apache-2.0 license text and any NOTICE file alongside the weights or derived code.
Apache-2.0 grants an express patent license that terminates if you bring a patent claim over the work, and it disclaims warranties. Validate EfficientDet on your own data before you depend on it in production.
