Pytorch ReID

Strong, Small, Friendly

A tiny, friendly, strong baseline code for Object-reID (based on pytorch) since 2017.

Strong. It is consistent with the new baseline result in several top-conference works, e.g., Joint Discriminative and Generative Learning for Person Re-identification(CVPR19), Beyond Part Models: Person Retrieval with Refined Part Pooling(ECCV18), Camera Style Adaptation for Person Re-identification(CVPR18). We arrived Rank@1=88.24%, mAP=70.68% only with softmax loss.
Small. With fp16 (supported by Nvidia apex), our baseline could be trained with only 2GB GPU memory.
Friendly. You may use the off-the-shelf options to apply many state-of-the-art tricks in one line. Besides, if you are new to object re-ID, you may check out our Tutorial first (8 min read) 👍 .

2019 News

07 July 2019: I added some new functions, such as --resume, auto-augmentation policy, acos loss, into developing thread and rewrite the save and load functions. I haven't tested the functions throughly. Some new functions are worthy of having a try. If you are first to this repo, I suggest you stay with the master thread.

01 July 2019: My CVPR19 Paper is online. It is based on this baseline repo as teacher model to provide pseudo label for the generated images to train a better student model. You are welcomed to check out the opensource code at here.

03 Jun 2019: Testing with multiple-scale inputs is added. You can use --ms 1,0.9 when extracting the feature. It could slightly improve the final result.

20 May 2019: Linear Warm Up is added. You also can set warm-up the first K epoch by --warm_epoch K. If K <=0, there will be no warm-up.

2018 & 2017 News

More training iterations may lead to better results.
Swin costs more GPU memory (11G GPU is needed) to run.
The hyper-parameter of DG-Market --DG is not tuned. Better hyper-parameter may lead to better results.

Different Losses

I do not optimize the hyper-parameters. You are free to tune them for better performance.

Model Structure

You may learn more from model.py. We add one linear layer(bottleneck), one batchnorm layer and relu.

Prerequisites

Python 3.6+
GPU Memory >= 6G
Numpy
Pytorch 0.3+
timm pip install timm for Swin-Transformer with Pytorch >1.7.0
pretrainedmodels via pip install pretrainedmodels
[Optional] apex (for float16)
[Optional] pretrainedmodels

(Some reports found that updating numpy can arrive the right accuracy. If you only get 50~80 Top1 Accuracy, just try it.) We have successfully run the code based on numpy 1.12.1 and 1.13.1 .

Getting started

Installation

Install Pytorch from http://pytorch.org/
Install Torchvision from the source

git clone https://github.com/pytorch/vision
cd vision
python setup.py install

[Optional] You may skip it. Install apex from the source

git clone https://github.com/NVIDIA/apex.git
cd apex
python setup.py install --cuda_ext --cpp_ext

Because pytorch and torchvision are ongoing projects.

Here we noted that our code is tested based on Pytorch 0.3.0/0.4.0/0.5.0/1.0.0 and Torchvision 0.2.0/0.2.1 .

Dataset & Preparation

Download Market1501 Dataset [Google] [Baidu] Or use command line:

pip install gdown 
pip install --upgrade gdown #!!important!!
gdown 0B8-rUzbwVRk0c054eEozWG9COHM

Preparation: Put the images with the same id in one folder. You may use

python prepare.py

Remember to change the dataset path to your own path.

Futhermore, you also can test our code on [DukeMTMC-reID Dataset]( GoogleDriver or (BaiduYun password: bhbh)) Or use command line:

gdown 1jjE85dRCMOgRtvJ5RQV9-Afs-2_5dY3O

Our baseline code is not such high on DukeMTMC-reID Rank@1=64.23%, mAP=43.92%. Hyperparameters are need to be tuned.

[Optional] DG-Market is a generated pedestrian dataset of 128,307 images for training a robust model.

Train

Train a model by

python train.py --gpu_ids 0 --name ft_ResNet50 --train_all --batchsize 32  --data_dir your_data_path

--gpu_ids which gpu to run.

--name the name of model.

--data_dir the path of the training data.

--train_all using all images to train.

--batchsize batch size.

--erasing_p random erasing probability.

Train a model with random erasing by

python train.py --gpu_ids 0 --name ft_ResNet50 --train_all --batchsize 32  --data_dir your_data_path --erasing_p 0.5

If you want to use multiple GPUs, you are suggested to use DDP (train_DDP.py) instead of DP (train.py). It is because DP lacks the torch supports and may face some NaN. You could call train_DDP.py by running DDP.sh.

bash DDP.sh

Test

Use trained model to extract feature by

python test.py --gpu_ids 0 --name ft_ResNet50 --test_dir your_data_path  --batchsize 32 --which_epoch 59

--gpu_ids which gpu to run.

--batchsize batch size.

--name the dir name of trained model.

--which_epoch select the i-th model.

--data_dir the path of the testing data.

Evaluation

python evaluate.py

It will output Rank@1, Rank@5, Rank@10 and mAP results. You may also try evaluate_gpu.py to conduct a faster evaluation with GPU.

For mAP calculation, you also can refer to the C++ code for Oxford Building. We use the triangle mAP calculation (consistent with the Market1501 original code).

re-ranking

python evaluate_rerank.py

It may take more than 10G Memory to run. So run it on a powerful machine if possible.

It will output Rank@1, Rank@5, Rank@10 and mAP results.

Tips

Notes the format of the camera id and the number of cameras.

For some dataset, e.g., MSMT17, there are more than 10 cameras. You need to modify the prepare.py and test.py to read the double-digit camera ID.

For some vehicle re-ID datasets. e.g. VeRi, you also need to modify the prepare.py and test.py. It has different naming rules. layumi#107 (Sorry. It is in Chinese)
