You can download the model_final.pkl from here: Model link

Please note that this repository is only for episode training and evaluation on FSOD dataset. Other expriments on different datasets are in different evaluation settings and I will gradually merge them. Currently, the code only supports 1 image on 1 GPU for both training and evaluation.

This repository is originally built on roytseng-tw/Detectron.pytorch. You should set your enviroment setting under the guideline below. After that, you can directly run sh all.sh to train and evaluate the model.

This code follows the implementation architecture of Detectron. Only part of the functionality is supported. Check this section for more information.

With this code, you can...

Train your model from scratch.
Inference using the pretrained weight file (*.pkl) from Detectron.

This repository is originally built on jwyang/faster-rcnn.pytorch. However, after many modifications, the structure changes a lot and it's now more similar to Detectron. I deliberately make everything similar or identical to Detectron's implementation, so as to reproduce the result directly from official pretrained weight files.

This implementation has the following features:

It is pure Pytorch code. Of course, there are some CUDA code.
It supports multi-image batch training.
It supports multiple GPUs training.
It supports three pooling methods. Notice that only roi align is revised to match the implementation in Caffe2. So, use it.
It is memory efficient. For data batching, there are two techiniques available to reduce memory usage: 1) Aspect grouping: group images with similar aspect ratio in a batch 2) Aspect cropping: crop images that are too long. Aspect grouping is implemented in Detectron, so it's used for default. Aspect cropping is the idea from jwyang/faster-rcnn.pytorch, and it's not used for default.

Besides of that, I implement a customized nn.DataParallel module which enables different batch blob size on different gpus. Check My nn.DataParallel section for more details about this.

News

Getting Started

Clone the repo:

git clone https://github.com/roytseng-tw/mask-rcnn.pytorch.git

Requirements

Tested under python3.

python packages
- pytorch>=0.3.1
- torchvision>=0.2.0
- cython
- matplotlib
- numpy
- scipy
- opencv
- pyyaml
- packaging
- pycocotools — for COCO dataset, also available from pip.
- tensorboardX — for logging the losses in Tensorboard
An NVIDAI GPU and CUDA 8.0 or higher. Some operations only have gpu implementation.
NOTICE: different versions of Pytorch package have different memory usages.

Compilation

Compile the CUDA code:

cd lib  # please change to this directory
sh make.sh

If your are using Volta GPUs, uncomment this line in lib/mask.sh and remember to postpend a backslash at the line above. CUDA_PATH defaults to /usr/loca/cuda. If you want to use a CUDA library on different path, change this line accordingly.

It will compile all the modules you need, including NMS, ROI_Pooing, ROI_Crop and ROI_Align. (Actually gpu nms is never used ...)

Note that, If you use CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES to set gpus, make sure at least one gpu is visible when compile the code.

Data Preparation

Create a data folder under the repo,

cd {repo_root}
mkdir data

COCO: Download the coco images and annotations from coco website.

And make sure to put the files as the following structure:

coco
├── annotations
|   ├── instances_minival2014.json
│   ├── instances_train2014.json
│   ├── instances_train2017.json
│   ├── instances_val2014.json
│   ├── instances_val2017.json
│   ├── instances_valminusminival2014.json
│   ├── ...
|
└── images
    ├── train2014
    ├── train2017
    ├── val2014
    ├── val2017
    ├── ...

Download coco mini annotations from here. Please note that minival is exactly equivalent to the recently defined 2017 val set. Similarly, the union of valminusminival and the 2014 train is exactly equivalent to the 2017 train set.

Feel free to put the dataset at any place you want, and then soft link the dataset under the data/ folder:

ln -s path/to/coco data/coco

PASCAL VOC 2007 + 12 Please follow the instructions in py-faster-rcnn to prepare VOC datasets. Actually, you can refer to any others. After downloading the data, creat softlinks in the data/VOC<year> folder as folows,

VOCdevkitPATH=/path/to/voc_devkit
mkdir -p $DETECTRON/detectron/datasets/data/VOC<year>
ln -s /${VOCdevkitPATH}/VOC<year>/JPEGImages $DETECTRON.PYTORCH/data/VOC<year>/JPEGImages
ln -s /${VOCdevkitPATH}/VOC<year>/json_annotations $DETECTRON.PYTORCH/data/VOC<year>/annotations
ln -s /${VOCdevkitPATH} $DETECTRON.PYTORCH/data/VOC<year>/VOCdevkit<year>

The directory structure of JPEGImages and annotations should be as follows,

VOC<year>
├── annotations
|   ├── train.json
│   ├── trainval.json
│   ├── test.json
│   ├── ...
|
└── JPEGImages
    ├── <im-1-name>.jpg
    ├── ...
    ├── <im-N-name>.jpg

NOTE: The annotations folder requires you to have PASCAL VOC annotations in COCO json format, which is available for download here. You can also convert the XML annotatinos files to JSON by running the following script,

python tools/pascal_voc_xml2coco_json_converter.py $VOCdevkitPATH $year

(In order to succesfully run the script above, you need to update the full path to the respective folders in the script).

Custom Dataset Similar to above, create a directory named CustomDataset in the data folder and add symlinks to the annotations directory and JPEGImages as shown for Pascal Voc dataset. You also need to link the custom dataset devkit to CustomDataDevkit.

Recommend to put the images on a SSD for possible better training performance

Pretrained Model

I use ImageNet pretrained weights from Caffe for the backbone networks.

ResNet50, ResNet101, ResNet152
VGG16 (vgg backbone is not implemented yet)

Download them and put them into the {repo_root}/data/pretrained_model.

You can the following command to download them all:

extra required packages: argparse_color_formater, colorama, requests

python tools/download_imagenet_weights.py

NOTE: Caffe pretrained weights have slightly better performance than Pytorch pretrained. Suggest to use Caffe pretrained models from the above link to reproduce the results. By the way, Detectron also use pretrained weights from Caffe.

If you want to use pytorch pre-trained models, please remember to transpose images from BGR to RGB, and also use the same data preprocessing (minus mean and normalize) as used in Pytorch pretrained model.

ImageNet Pretrained Model provided by Detectron

Besides of using the pretrained weights for ResNet above, you can also use the weights from Detectron by changing the corresponding line in model config file as follows:

RESNETS:
  IMAGENET_PRETRAINED_WEIGHTS: 'data/pretrained_model/R-50.pkl'

R-50-GN.pkl and R-101-GN.pkl are required for gn_baselines.

X-101-32x8d.pkl, X-101-64x4d.pkl and X-152-32x8d-IN5k.pkl are required for ResNeXt backbones.

Training

DO NOT CHANGE anything in the provided config files(configs/**/xxxx.yml) unless you know what you are doing

Use the environment variable CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES to control which GPUs to use.

Adapative config adjustment

Let's define some terms first

       batch_size: NUM_GPUS x TRAIN.IMS_PER_BATCH
       effective_batch_size: batch_size x iter_size
       change of somethining: new value of something / old value of something

Following config options will be adjusted automatically according to actual training setups: 1) number of GPUs NUM_GPUS, 2) batch size per GPU TRAIN.IMS_PER_BATCH, 3) update period iter_size

SOLVER.BASE_LR: adjust directly propotional to the change of batch_size.
SOLVER.STEPS, SOLVER.MAX_ITER: adjust inversely propotional to the change of effective_batch_size.

Train from scratch

Take mask-rcnn with res50 backbone for example.

python tools/train_net_step.py --dataset coco2017 --cfg configs/baselines/e2e_mask_rcnn_R-50-C4.yml --use_tfboard --bs {batch_size} --nw {num_workers}

Use --bs to overwrite the default batch size to a proper value that fits into your GPUs. Simliar for --nw, number of data loader threads defaults to 4 in config.py.

Specify —-use_tfboard to log the losses on Tensorboard.

NOTE:

use --dataset keypoints_coco2017 when training for keypoint-rcnn.
use --dataset voc2007 when training for PASCAL VOC 2007.
use --dataset voc2012 when training for PASCAL VOC 2012.
use --dataset custom_dataset --num_classes $NUM_CLASSES when training for your custom dataset. Here, $NUM_CLASSES is the number of object classes + 1 (for background class) present in your custom dataset.

The use of `--iter_size`

As in Caffe, update network once (optimizer.step()) every iter_size iterations (forward + backward). This way to have a larger effective batch size for training. Notice that, step count is only increased after network update.

python tools/train_net_step.py --dataset coco2017 --cfg configs/baselines/e2e_mask_rcnn_R-50-C4.yml --bs 4 --iter_size 4

iter_size defaults to 1.

Finetune from a pretrained checkpoint

python tools/train_net_step.py ... --load_ckpt {path/to/the/checkpoint}

or using Detectron's checkpoint file

python tools/train_net_step.py ... --load_detectron {path/to/the/checkpoint}

Resume training with the same dataset and batch size

python tools/train_net_step.py ... --load_ckpt {path/to/the/checkpoint} --resume

When resume the training, step count and optimizer state will also be restored from the checkpoint. For SGD optimizer, optimizer state contains the momentum for each trainable parameter.

NOTE: --resume is not yet supported for --load_detectron

Set config options in command line

  python tools/train_net_step.py ... --no_save --set {config.name1} {value1} {config.name2} {value2} ...

For Example, run for debugging.
```
python tools/train_net_step.py ... --no_save --set DEBUG True
```
Load less annotations to accelarate training progress. Add --no_save to avoid saving any checkpoint or logging.

Show command line help messages

python train_net_step.py --help

Two Training Scripts

In short, use train_net_step.py.

In train_net_step.py:

SOLVER.LR_POLICY: steps_with_decay is supported.
Training warm up in Accurate, Large Minibatch SGD: Training ImageNet in 1 Hour is supported.

(Deprecated) In train_net.py some config options have no effects and worth noticing:

SOLVER.LR_POLICY, SOLVER.MAX_ITER, SOLVER.STEPS,SOLVER.LRS: For now, the training policy is controlled by these command line arguments:
- --epochs: How many epochs to train. One epoch means one travel through the whole training sets. Defaults to 6.
- --lr_decay_epochs : Epochs to decay the learning rate on. Decay happens on the beginning of a epoch. Epoch is 0-indexed. Defaults to [4, 5].
For more command line arguments, please refer to python train_net.py --help
SOLVER.WARM_UP_ITERS, SOLVER.WARM_UP_FACTOR, SOLVER.WARM_UP_METHOD: Training warm up is not supported.

Inference

Evaluate the training results

For example, test mask-rcnn on coco2017 val set

python tools/test_net.py --dataset coco2017 --cfg config/baselines/e2e_mask_rcnn_R-50-FPN_1x.yaml --load_ckpt {path/to/your/checkpoint}

Use --load_detectron to load Detectron's checkpoint. If multiple gpus are available, add --multi-gpu-testing.

Specify a different output directry, use --output_dir {...}. Defaults to {the/parent/dir/of/checkpoint}/test

Visualize the training results on images

python tools/infer_simple.py --dataset coco --cfg cfgs/baselines/e2e_mask_rcnn_R-50-C4.yml --load_ckpt {path/to/your/checkpoint} --image_dir {dir/of/input/images}  --output_dir {dir/to/save/visualizations}

--output_dir defaults to infer_outputs.

Supported Network modules

Backbone:
- ResNet: ResNet50_conv4_body,ResNet50_conv5_body, ResNet101_Conv4_Body,ResNet101_Conv5_Body, ResNet152_Conv5_Body
- ResNeXt: [fpn_]ResNet101_Conv4_Body,[fpn_]ResNet101_Conv5_Body, [fpn_]ResNet152_Conv5_Body
- FPN: fpn_ResNet50_conv5_body,fpn_ResNet50_conv5_P2only_body, fpn_ResNet101_conv5_body,fpn_ResNet101_conv5_P2only_body,fpn_ResNet152_conv5_body,fpn_ResNet152_conv5_P2only_body
Box head: ResNet_roi_conv5_head,roi_2mlp_head, roi_Xconv1fc_head, roi_Xconv1fc_gn_head
Mask head: mask_rcnn_fcn_head_v0upshare,mask_rcnn_fcn_head_v0up, mask_rcnn_fcn_head_v1up, mask_rcnn_fcn_head_v1up4convs, mask_rcnn_fcn_head_v1up4convs_gn
Keypoints head: roi_pose_head_v1convX

NOTE: the naming is similar to the one used in Detectron. Just remove any prepending add_.

Supported Datasets

Only COCO is supported for now. However, the whole dataset library implementation is almost identical to Detectron's, so it should be easy to add more datasets supported by Detectron.

Configuration Options

Architecture specific configuration files are put under configs. The general configuration file lib/core/config.py has almost all the options with same default values as in Detectron's, so it's effortless to transform the architecture specific configs from Detectron.

Some options from Detectron are not used because the corresponding functionalities are not implemented yet. For example, data augmentation on testing.

Extra options

MODEL.LOAD_IMAGENET_PRETRAINED_WEIGHTS = True: Whether to load ImageNet pretrained weights.
- RESNETS.IMAGENET_PRETRAINED_WEIGHTS = '': Path to pretrained residual network weights. If start with '/', then it is treated as a absolute path. Otherwise, treat as a relative path to ROOT_DIR.
TRAIN.ASPECT_CROPPING = False, TRAIN.ASPECT_HI = 2, TRAIN.ASPECT_LO = 0.5: Options for aspect cropping to restrict image aspect ratio range.
RPN.OUT_DIM_AS_IN_DIM = True, RPN.OUT_DIM = 512, RPN.CLS_ACTIVATION = 'sigmoid': Official implement of RPN has same input and output feature channels and use sigmoid as the activation function for fg/bg class prediction. In jwyang's implementation, it fix output channel number to 512 and use softmax as activation function.

How to transform configuration files from Detectron

Remove MODEL.NUM_CLASSES. It will be set according to the dataset specified by --dataset.
Remove TRAIN.WEIGHTS, TRAIN.DATASETS and TEST.DATASETS
For module type options (e.g MODEL.CONV_BODY, FAST_RCNN.ROI_BOX_HEAD ...), remove add_ in the string if exists.
If want to load ImageNet pretrained weights for the model, add RESNETS.IMAGENET_PRETRAINED_WEIGHTS pointing to the pretrained weight file. If not, set MODEL.LOAD_IMAGENET_PRETRAINED_WEIGHTS to False.
[Optional] Delete OUTPUT_DIR: . at the last line
Do NOT change the option NUM_GPUS in the config file. It's used to infer the original batch size for training, and learning rate will be linearly scaled according to batch size change. Proper learning rate adjustment is important for training with different batch size.
For group normalization baselines, add RESNETS.USE_GN: True.

My nn.DataParallel

Keep certain keyword inputs on cpu Official DataParallel will broadcast all the input Variables to GPUs. However, many rpn related computations are done in CPU, and it's unnecessary to put those related inputs on GPUs.
Allow Different blob size for different GPU To save gpu memory, images are padded seperately for each gpu.
Work with returned value of dictionary type
