Description

🚀 The feature

Adding only the name of the backbone network, loads the pretrained model in the FasterRcnn model as backbone.

Motivation, pitch

Its possible to use any backbone, but we have to specify many things like feature size, feature_name etc., wont be it easy for the user to just give the name of the backbone and we internally do everything.

Research direction

Start by reading the FasterRCNN API and the torchvision pretrained-model and backbone interfaces. Trace how the current feature size and feature name are supplied, then determine the supported model-name inputs and the expected behavior for automatic configuration. Done means a user can provide only a backbone name and FasterRCNN loads and configures it correctly, with coverage for the supported cases.
