Main Results

Partial Labeled Data

We followed STAC[1] to evaluate on 5 different data splits for each setting, and report the average performance of 5 splits. The results are shown in the following:

1% labeled data

Method mAP Model Weights Config Files
Baseline 10.0 - Config
Ours (thr=5e-2) 21.62 Drive Config
Ours (thr=1e-3) 22.64 Drive Config

5% labeled data

Method mAP Model Weights Config Files
Baseline 20.92 - Config
Ours (thr=5e-2) 30.42 Drive Config
Ours (thr=1e-3) 31.7 Drive Config

10% labeled data

Method mAP Model Weights Config Files
Baseline 26.94 - Config
Ours (thr=5e-2) 33.78 Drive Config
Ours (thr=1e-3) 34.7 Drive Config

Ours* (thr=5e-2) 44.5 - Config

Faster R-CNN (ResNet-101)

Baseline 43.8 - Config
Ours* (thr=5e-2) 46.9 Drive Config
Ours* (thr=1e-3) 47.6 Drive Config

Notes

  • Ours* means we use longer training schedule.
  • thr indicates model.test_cfg.rcnn.score_thr in config files. This inference trick was first introduced by Instant-Teaching[2].
  • All models are trained on 8*V100 GPUs

Usage

Requirements

  • Ubuntu 16.04
  • Anaconda3 with python=3.6
  • Pytorch=1.9.0
  • mmdetection=2.16.0+fe46ffe
  • mmcv=1.3.9
  • wandb=0.10.31

Notes

  • We use wandb for visualization, if you don't want to use it, just comment line 273-284 in configs/soft_teacher/base.py.
  • The project should be compatible to the latest version of mmdetection. If you want to switch to the same version mmdetection as ours, run cd thirdparty/mmdetection && git checkout v2.16.0

Installation

make install

Data Preparation

  • Download the COCO dataset
  • Execute the following command to generate data set splits:
# YOUR_DATA should be a directory contains coco dataset.
# For eg.:
# YOUR_DATA/
#  coco/
#     train2017/
#     val2017/
#     unlabeled2017/
#     annotations/
ln -s ${YOUR_DATA} data
bash tools/dataset/prepare_coco_data.sh conduct

For concrete instructions of what should be downloaded, please refer to tools/dataset/prepare_coco_data.sh line 11-24

Training

  • To train model on the partial labeled data setting:
# JOB_TYPE: 'baseline' or 'semi', decide which kind of job to run
# PERCENT_LABELED_DATA: 1, 5, 10. The ratio of labeled coco data in whole training dataset.
# GPU_NUM: number of gpus to run the job
for FOLD in 1 2 3 4 5;
do
  bash tools/dist_train_partially.sh <JOB_TYPE> ${FOLD} <PERCENT_LABELED_DATA> <GPU_NUM>
done

For example, we could run the following scripts to train our model on 10% labeled data with 8 GPUs:

for FOLD in 1 2 3 4 5;
do
  bash tools/dist_train_partially.sh semi ${FOLD} 10 8
done
  • To train model on the full labeled data setting:
bash tools/dist_train.sh <CONFIG_FILE_PATH> <NUM_GPUS>

For example, to train ours R50 model with 8 GPUs:

bash tools/dist_train.sh configs/soft_teacher/soft_teacher_faster_rcnn_r50_caffe_fpn_coco_full_720k.py 8
  • To train model on new dataset:

The core idea is to convert a new dataset to coco format. Details about it can be found in the adding new dataset.

Evaluation

bash tools/dist_test.sh <CONFIG_FILE_PATH> <CHECKPOINT_PATH> <NUM_GPUS> --eval bbox --cfg-options model.test_cfg.rcnn.score_thr=<THR>

Inference

To inference with trained model and visualize the detection results:

# [IMAGE_FILE_PATH]: the path of your image file in local file system
# [CONFIG_FILE]: the path of a confile file
# [CHECKPOINT_PATH]: the path of a trained model related to provided confilg file.
# [OUTPUT_PATH]: the directory to save detection result
python demo/image_demo.py [IMAGE_FILE_PATH] [CONFIG_FILE] [CHECKPOINT_PATH] --output [OUTPUT_PATH]

For example:

  • Inference on single image with provided R50 model:
python demo/image_demo.py /tmp/tmp.png configs/soft_teacher/soft_teacher_faster_rcnn_r50_caffe_fpn_coco_full_720k.py work_dirs/downloaded.model --output work_dirs/

After the program completes, a image with the same name as input will be saved to work_dirs

  • Inference on many images with provided R50 model:
python demo/image_demo.py '/tmp/*.jpg' configs/soft_teacher/soft_teacher_faster_rcnn_r50_caffe_fpn_coco_full_720k.py work_dirs/downloaded.model --output work_dirs/
