Description

🚀 Feature

Support for various backbones like VGG, ResNeXT, etc.

Motivation

Currently, only ResNet and FPN backbones are supported. It would be useful if other backbones like VGG Net or ResNeXT etc. are also included.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study the current ResNet and FPN backbone implementation in maskrcnn benchmark. Then explore available backbones (VGG, ResNeXT) from torchvision. Implement a modular backbone class that can switch between these, following the existing patterns for integration with FPN.
