Description
🐛 Describe the bug
Since we have multiscale and lsj augmentations which use fix sizes, we no longer resize the images in the transforms of GeneralizedRCNNTransform. However, we still use the GroupedBatchSampler but for me the grouping by aspect ratio is no longer mandatory. Am I right ?
Even though I don't think it is very useful (if the statement above is true), we can easily patch it.
We can change in the training reference script the following lines:
https://github.com/pytorch/vision/blob/bd19fb8ea9b1f67df2a2a1ee116874609ad3ee8c/references/detection/train.py#L191-L195
as
if args.aspect_ratio_group_factor >= 0 and args.data_augmentation not in ["multiscale", "lsj"]:
group_ids = create_aspect_ratio_groups(dataset, k=args.aspect_ratio_group_factor)
train_batch_sampler = GroupedBatchSampler(train_sampler, group_ids, args.batch_size)
else:
train_batch_sampler = torch.utils.data.BatchSampler(train_sampler, args.batch_size, drop_last=True)

Research direction
Inspect references/detection/train.py around lines 191-195 and compare the existing GroupedBatchSampler path with the proposed BatchSampler path for multiscale and lsj augmentation. Confirm whether aspect-ratio grouping is still needed, then verify that the detection training reference uses the appropriate sampler for each augmentation mode.
