Introduction

Welcome to DAMO-YOLO! It is a fast and accurate object detection method, which is developed by TinyML Team from Alibaba DAMO Data Analytics and Intelligence Lab. And it achieves a higher performance than state-of-the-art YOLO series. DAMO-YOLO is extend from YOLO but with some new techs, including Neural Architecture Search (NAS) backbones, efficient Reparameterized Generalized-FPN (RepGFPN), a lightweight head with AlignedOTA label assignment, and distillation enhancement. For more details, please refer to our Arxiv Report. Moreover, here you can find not only powerful models, but also highly efficient training strategies and complete tools from training to deployment.

Quick Start

Installation

Step1. Install DAMO-YOLO.

git clone https://github.com/tinyvision/damo-yolo.git
cd DAMO-YOLO/
conda create -n DAMO-YOLO python=3.7 -y
conda activate DAMO-YOLO
conda install pytorch==1.7.0 torchvision==0.8.0 torchaudio==0.7.0 cudatoolkit=10.2 -c pytorch
pip install -r requirements.txt
export PYTHONPATH=$PWD:$PYTHONPATH

Step2. Install pycocotools.

pip install cython;
pip install git+https://github.com/cocodataset/cocoapi.git#subdirectory=PythonAPI # for Linux
pip install git+https://github.com/philferriere/cocoapi.git#subdirectory=PythonAPI # for Windows
Demo

Step1. Download a pretrained torch, onnx or tensorRT engine from the benchmark table, e.g., damoyolo_tinynasL25_S.pth, damoyolo_tinynasL25_S.onnx, damoyolo_tinynasL25_S.trt.

Step2. Use -f(config filename) to specify your detector's config, --path to specify input data path, image or video are supported. For example:

# torch
python tools/demo.py -f ./configs/damoyolo_tinynasL25_S.py --engine ./damoyolo_tinynasL25_S.pth --engine_type torch --conf 0.6 --infer_size 640 640 --device cuda --path ./assets/dog.jpg

# onnx
python tools/demo.py -f ./configs/damoyolo_tinynasL25_S.py --engine ./damoyolo_tinynasL25_S.onnx --engine_type onnx --conf 0.6 --infer_size 640 640 --device cuda --path ./assets/dog.jpg

# tensorRT
python tools/demo.py -f ./configs/damoyolo_tinynasL25_S.py --engine ./damoyolo_tinynasL25_S.trt --engine_type tensorRT --conf 0.6 --infer_size 640 640 --device cuda --path ./assets/dog.jpg
Reproduce our results on COCO

Step1. Prepare COCO dataset

cd <DAMO-YOLO Home>
ln -s /path/to/your/coco ./datasets/coco

Step 2. Reproduce our results on COCO by specifying -f(config filename)

python -m torch.distributed.launch --nproc_per_node=8 tools/train.py -f configs/damoyolo_tinynasL25_S.py
Finetune on your data

Please refer to custom dataset tutorial for details.

Evaluation
python -m torch.distributed.launch --nproc_per_node=8 tools/eval.py -f configs/damoyolo_tinynasL25_S.py --ckpt /path/to/your/damoyolo_tinynasL25_S.pth
Customize tinynas backbone Step1. If you want to customize your own backbone, please refer to [MAE-NAS Tutorial for DAMO-YOLO](https://github.com/alibaba/lightweight-neural-architecture-search/blob/main/scripts/damo-yolo/Tutorial_NAS_for_DAMO-YOLO_cn.md). This is a detailed tutorial about how to obtain an optimal backbone under the budget of latency/flops.

Step2. After the searching process completed, you can replace the structure text in configs with it. Finally, you can get your own custom ResNet-like or CSPNet-like backbone after setting the backbone name to TinyNAS_res or TinyNAS_csp. Please notice the difference of out_indices between TinyNAS_res and TinyNAS_csp.

structure = self.read_structure('tinynas_customize.txt')
TinyNAS = { 'name'='TinyNAS_res', # ResNet-like Tinynas backbone
            'out_indices': (2,4,5)}
TinyNAS = { 'name'='TinyNAS_csp', # CSPNet-like Tinynas backbone
            'out_indices': (2,3,4)}

Deploy

Installation

pip install onnxruntime==1.8.0
pip install onnx-simplifier==0.3.5

Step2. Install CUDA、CuDNN、TensorRT and pyCUDA

Model Convert

Now we support trt_int8 quantization, you can specify trt_type as int8 to export the int8 tensorRT engine. You can also try partial quantization to achieve a good compromise between accuracy and latency. Refer to partial_quantization for more details.

Step.1 convert torch model to onnx or trt engine, and the output file would be generated in ./deploy. end2end means to export trt with nms. trt_eval means to evaluate the exported trt engine on coco_val dataset after the export compelete.

# onnx export 
python tools/converter.py -f configs/damoyolo_tinynasL25_S.py -c damoyolo_tinynasL25_S.pth --batch_size 1 --img_size 640

# trt export
python tools/converter.py -f configs/damoyolo_tinynasL25_S.py -c damoyolo_tinynasL25_S.pth --batch_size 1 --img_size 640 --trt --end2end --trt_eval

Step.2 trt engine evaluation on coco_val dataset. end2end means to using trt_with_nms to evaluation.

python tools/trt_eval.py -f configs/damoyolo_tinynasL25_S.py -trt deploy/damoyolo_tinynasL25_S_end2end_fp16_bs1.trt --batch_size 1 --img_size 640 --end2end

Step.3 onnx or trt engine inference demo and appoint test image/video by --path. end2end means to using trt_with_nms to inference.

# onnx inference
python tools/demo.py -f ./configs/damoyolo_tinynasL25_S.py --engine ./damoyolo_tinynasL25_S.onnx --engine_type onnx --conf 0.6 --infer_size 640 640 --device cuda --path ./assets/dog.jpg

# trt inference
python tools/demo.py -f ./configs/damoyolo_tinynasL25_S.py --engine ./deploy/damoyolo_tinynasL25_S_end2end_fp16_bs1.trt --engine_type tensorRT --conf 0.6 --infer_size 640 640 --device cuda --path ./assets/dog.jpg --end2end
