SSD Description

SSD discretizes the output space of bounding boxes into a set of default boxes over different aspect ratios and scales per feature map location. At prediction time, the network generates scores for the presence of each object category in each default box and produces adjustments to the box to better match the object shape.Additionally, the network combines predictions from multiple feature maps with different resolutions to naturally handle objects of various sizes.

Paper: Wei Liu, Dragomir Anguelov, Dumitru Erhan, Christian Szegedy, Scott Reed, Cheng-Yang Fu, Alexander C. Berg.European Conference on Computer Vision (ECCV), 2016 (In press).

Model Architecture

The SSD approach is based on a feed-forward convolutional network that produces a fixed-size collection of bounding boxes and scores for the presence of object class instances in those boxes, followed by a non-maximum suppression step to produce the final detections. The early network layers are based on a standard architecture used for high quality image classification, which is called the base network. Then add auxiliary structure to the network to produce detections.

We present four different base architecture.

*ssd-mobilenet-v1-fpn, using mobilenet-v1 and FPN as feature extractor with weight-shared box predcitors.
*ssd-resnet50-fpn, using resnet50 and FPN as feature extractor with weight-shared box predcitors.

Dataset

Note that you can run the scripts based on the dataset mentioned in original paper or widely used in relevant domain/network architecture. In the following sections, we will introduce how to run the scripts using the related dataset below.

Dataset used: COCO2017

Dataset size：19G
- Train：18G，118000 images
- Val：1G，5000 images
- Annotations：241M，instances，captions，person_keypoints etc
Data format：image and json files
- Note：Data will be processed in dataset.py

Environment Requirements

Install MindSpore.
Download the dataset COCO2017.
We use COCO2017 as training dataset in this example by default, and you can also use your own datasets. First, install Cython ,pycocotool and opencv to process data and to get evaluation result.
```
pip install Cython

pip install pycocotools

pip install opencv-python
```
1. If coco dataset is used. Select dataset to coco when run script.
  
  Change the coco_root and other settings you need in src/config.py. The directory structure is as follows:
```
.
└─coco_dataset
  ├─annotations
    ├─instance_train2017.json
    └─instance_val2017.json
  ├─val2017
  └─train2017
```
2. If VOC dataset is used. Select dataset to voc when run script. Change classes, num_classes, voc_json and voc_root in src/config.py. voc_json is the path of json file with coco format for evaluation, voc_root is the path of VOC dataset, the directory structure is as follows:
```
.
└─voc_dataset
  └─train
    ├─0001.jpg
    └─0001.xml
    ...
    ├─xxxx.jpg
    └─xxxx.xml
  └─eval
    ├─0001.jpg
    └─0001.xml
    ...
    ├─xxxx.jpg
    └─xxxx.xml
```
3. If your own dataset is used. Select dataset to other when run script. Organize the dataset information into a TXT file, each row in the file is as follows:
```
train2017/0000001.jpg 0,259,401,459,7 35,28,324,201,2 0,30,59,80,2
```
  Each row is an image annotation which split by space, the first column is a relative path of image, the others are box and class infomations of the format [xmin,ymin,xmax,ymax,class]. We read image from an image path joined by the image_dir(dataset directory) and the relative path in anno_path(the TXT file path), image_dir and anno_path are setting in src/config.py.

Quick Start

Prepare the model

Chose the model by changing the using_model in src/confgi.py. The optional models are: ssd300, ssd_mobilenet_v1_fpn.
Change the dataset config in the corresponding config. src/config_ssd300.py or src/config_ssd_mobilenet_v1_fpn.py.
If you are running with ssd_mobilenet_v1_fpn, you need a pretrained model for mobilenet_v1. Set the checkpoint path to feature_extractor_base_param in src/config_ssd_mobilenet_v1_fpn.py. For more detail about training mobilnet_v1, please refer to the mobilenetv1 model.

Run the scripts

After installing MindSpore via the official website, you can start training and evaluation as follows:

running on Ascend

# distributed training on Ascend
bash run_distribute_train.sh [DEVICE_NUM] [EPOCH_SIZE] [LR] [DATASET] [RANK_TABLE_FILE]

# run eval on Ascend
bash run_eval.sh [DATASET] [CHECKPOINT_PATH] [DEVICE_ID]

# run inference on Ascend310, MINDIR_PATH is the mindir model which you can export from checkpoint using export.py
bash run_infer_310.sh [MINDIR_PATH] [DATA_PATH] [DEVICE_ID]

running on GPU

# distributed training on GPU
bash run_distribute_train_gpu.sh [DEVICE_NUM] [EPOCH_SIZE] [LR] [DATASET]

# run eval on GPU
bash run_eval_gpu.sh [DATASET] [CHECKPOINT_PATH] [DEVICE_ID]

running on CPU(support Windows and Ubuntu)

CPU is usually used for fine-tuning, which needs pre_trained checkpoint.

# training on CPU
python train.py --run_platform=CPU --lr=[LR] --dataset=[DATASET] --epoch_size=[EPOCH_SIZE] --batch_size=[BATCH_SIZE] --pre_trained=[PRETRAINED_CKPT] --filter_weight=True --save_checkpoint_epochs=1

# run eval on GPU
python eval.py --run_platform=CPU --dataset=[DATASET] --checkpoint_path=[PRETRAINED_CKPT]

Run on docker

Build docker images(Change version to the one you actually used)

# build docker
docker build -t ssd:20.1.0 . --build-arg FROM_IMAGE_NAME=ascend-mindspore-arm:20.1.0

Create a container layer over the created image and start it

# start docker
bash scripts/docker_start.sh ssd:20.1.0 [DATA_DIR] [MODEL_DIR]

Then you can run everything just like on ascend.

Training Process

To train the model, run train.py. If the mindrecord_dir is empty, it will generate mindrecord files by coco_root(coco dataset), voc_root(voc dataset) or image_dir and anno_path(own dataset). Note if mindrecord_dir isn't empty, it will use mindrecord_dir instead of raw images.

Transfer Training

You can train your own model based on either pretrained classification model or pretrained detection model. You can perform transfer training by following steps.

Convert your own dataset to COCO or VOC style. Otherwise you have to add your own data preprocess code.
Change config.py according to your own dataset, especially the num_classes.
Prepare a pretrained checkpoint. You can load the pretrained checkpoint by pre_trained argument. Transfer training means a new training job, so just keep pre_trained_epoch_size same as default value 0.
Set argument filter_weight to True while calling train.py, this will filter the final detection box weight from the pretrained model.
Build your own bash scripts using new config and arguments for further convenient.

Evaluation Process

Evaluation on Ascend

bash run_eval.sh [DATASET] [CHECKPOINT_PATH] [DEVICE_ID]

We need two parameters for this scripts.

DATASET：the dataset mode of evaluation dataset.
CHECKPOINT_PATH: the absolute path for checkpoint file.
DEVICE_ID: the device id for eval.

checkpoint can be produced in training process.

Inference result will be stored in the example path, whose folder name begins with "eval". Under this, you can find result like the followings in log.

Inference Process

Export MindIR

python export.py --ckpt_file [CKPT_PATH] --file_name [FILE_NAME] --file_format [FILE_FORMAT]

The ckpt_file parameter is required, EXPORT_FORMAT should be in ["AIR", "MINDIR"]

Infer on Ascend310

Before performing inference, the mindir file must bu exported by export.py script. We only provide an example of inference using MINDIR model. Current batch_Size can only be set to 1. The precision calculation process needs about 70G+ memory space, otherwise the process will be killed for execeeding memory limits.

# Ascend310 inference
bash run_infer_310.sh [MINDIR_PATH] [DATA_PATH] [DVPP] [DEVICE_ID]

DVPP is mandatory, and must choose from ["DVPP", "CPU"], it's case-insensitive. Note that the image shape of ssd_vgg16 inference is [300, 300], The DVPP hardware restricts width 16-alignment and height even-alignment. Therefore, the network needs to use the CPU operator to process images.
DEVICE_ID is optional, default value is 0.

Inference result is saved in current path, you can find result like this in acc.log file.
