    Implements SSD architecture from `"SSD: Single Shot MultiBox Detector" <https://arxiv.org/abs/1512.02325>`_.

    The input to the model is expected to be a list of tensors, each of shape [C, H, W], one for each
    image, and should be in 0-1 range. Different images can have different sizes, but they will be resized
    to a fixed size before passing it to the backbone.

    The behavior of the model changes depending on if it is in training or evaluation mode.

    During training, the model expects both the input tensors and targets (list of dictionary),
    containing:
        - boxes (``FloatTensor[N, 4]``): the ground-truth boxes in ``[x1, y1, x2, y2]`` format, with
          ``0 <= x1 < x2 <= W`` and ``0 <= y1 < y2 <= H``.
        - labels (Int64Tensor[N]): the class label for each ground-truth box

    The model returns a Dict[Tensor] during training, containing the classification and regression
    losses.

    During inference, the model requires only the input tensors, and returns the post-processed
    predictions as a List[Dict[Tensor]], one for each input image. The fields of the Dict are as
    follows, where ``N`` is the number of detections:

        - boxes (``FloatTensor[N, 4]``): the predicted boxes in ``[x1, y1, x2, y2]`` format, with
          ``0 <= x1 < x2 <= W`` and ``0 <= y1 < y2 <= H``.
        - labels (Int64Tensor[N]): the predicted labels for each detection
        - scores (Tensor[N]): the scores for each detection

    Args:
        backbone (nn.Module): the network used to compute the features for the model.
            It should contain an out_channels attribute with the list of the output channels of
            each feature map. The backbone should return a single Tensor or an OrderedDict[Tensor].
        anchor_generator (DefaultBoxGenerator): module that generates the default boxes for a
            set of feature maps.
        size (Tuple[int, int]): the width and height to which images will be rescaled before feeding them
            to the backbone.
        num_classes (int): number of output classes of the model (including the background).
        image_mean (Tuple[float, float, float]): mean values used for input normalization.
            They are generally the mean values of the dataset on which the backbone has been trained
            on
        image_std (Tuple[float, float, float]): std values used for input normalization.
            They are generally the std values of the dataset on which the backbone has been trained on
        head (nn.Module, optional): Module run on top of the backbone features. Defaults to a module containing
            a classification and regression module.
        score_thresh (float): Score threshold used for postprocessing the detections.
        nms_thresh (float): NMS threshold used for postprocessing the detections.
        detections_per_img (int): Number of best detections to keep after NMS.
        iou_thresh (float): minimum IoU between the anchor and the GT box so that they can be
            considered as positive during training.
        topk_candidates (int): Number of best detections to keep before NMS.
        positive_fraction (float): a number between 0 and 1 which indicates the proportion of positive
            proposals used during the training of the classification head. It is used to estimate the negative to
            positive ratio.

    .. betastatus:: detection module

    The input to the model is expected to be a list of tensors, each of shape [C, H, W], one for each
    image, and should be in 0-1 range. Different images can have different sizes, but they will be resized
    to a fixed size before passing it to the backbone.

    The behavior of the model changes depending on if it is in training or evaluation mode.

    During training, the model expects both the input tensors and targets (list of dictionary),
    containing:

        - boxes (``FloatTensor[N, 4]``): the ground-truth boxes in ``[x1, y1, x2, y2]`` format, with
          ``0 <= x1 < x2 <= W`` and ``0 <= y1 < y2 <= H``.
        - labels (Int64Tensor[N]): the class label for each ground-truth box

    The model returns a Dict[Tensor] during training, containing the classification and regression
    losses.

    During inference, the model requires only the input tensors, and returns the post-processed
    predictions as a List[Dict[Tensor]], one for each input image. The fields of the Dict are as
    follows, where ``N`` is the number of detections:

        - boxes (``FloatTensor[N, 4]``): the predicted boxes in ``[x1, y1, x2, y2]`` format, with
          ``0 <= x1 < x2 <= W`` and ``0 <= y1 < y2 <= H``.
        - labels (Int64Tensor[N]): the predicted labels for each detection
        - scores (Tensor[N]): the scores for each detection

    Example:

        >>> model = torchvision.models.detection.ssd300_vgg16(weights=SSD300_VGG16_Weights.DEFAULT)
        >>> model.eval()
        >>> x = [torch.rand(3, 300, 300), torch.rand(3, 500, 400)]
        >>> predictions = model(x)

    Args:
        weights (:class:`~torchvision.models.detection.SSD300_VGG16_Weights`, optional): The pretrained
                weights to use. See
                :class:`~torchvision.models.detection.SSD300_VGG16_Weights`
                below for more details, and possible values. By default, no
                pre-trained weights are used.
        progress (bool, optional): If True, displays a progress bar of the download to stderr
            Default is True.
        num_classes (int, optional): number of output classes of the model (including the background)
        weights_backbone (:class:`~torchvision.models.VGG16_Weights`, optional): The pretrained weights for the
            backbone
        trainable_backbone_layers (int, optional): number of trainable (not frozen) layers starting from final block.
            Valid values are between 0 and 5, with 5 meaning all backbone layers are trainable. If ``None`` is
            passed (the default) this value is set to 4.
        **kwargs: parameters passed to the ``torchvision.models.detection.SSD``
            base class. Please refer to the `source code
