# pytorch_fast-er_rcnn
A pytorch implementation of fast R-CNN and faster R-CNN detection framework based on Ruotian(RT) Luo's [pytorch-faster-rcnn](https://github.com/ruotianluo/pytorch-faster-rcnn), Xinlei Chen's [tf-faster-rcnn](https://github.com/endernewton/tf-faster-rcnn) and the python Caffe implementation of faster RCNN available [here](https://github.com/rbgirshick/py-faster-rcnn).

**Note**: Several minor modifications are made when reimplementing the framework, which give potential improvements. For details about the modifications and ablative analysis, please refer to the technical report [An Implementation of Faster RCNN with Study for Region Sampling](https://arxiv.org/pdf/1702.02138.pdf). If you are seeking to reproduce the results in the original paper, please use the [official code](https://github.com/ShaoqingRen/faster_rcnn) or maybe the [semi-official code](https://github.com/rbgirshick/py-faster-rcnn). For details about the faster RCNN architecture please refer to the paper [Faster R-CNN: Towards Real-Time Object Detection with Region Proposal Networks](http://arxiv.org/pdf/1506.01497.pdf).

### Detection Performance
The current code supports **VGG16**, **Resnet V1** and **Mobilenet V1** models. We mainly tested it on plain VGG16 and Resnet101 architecture. As the baseline, we report numbers using a single model on a single convolution layer, so no multi-scale, no multi-stage bounding box regression, no skip-connection, no extra input is used. The only data augmentation technique is left-right flipping during training following the original Faster RCNN. All models are released.

#### Faster R-CNN
With VGG16 (``conv5_3``):
  - Train on VOC 2007 trainval and test on VOC 2007 test, **71.22**(from scratch) **70.75**(converted) (**70.8** for tf-faster-rcnn).
  - Train on VOC 2007+2012 trainval and test on VOC 2007 test ([R-FCN](https://github.com/daijifeng001/R-FCN) schedule), **75.33**(from scratch) **75.27**(converted) (**75.7** for tf-faster-rcnn).
  - Train on COCO 2014 [trainval35k](https://github.com/rbgirshick/py-faster-rcnn/tree/master/models) and test on [minival](https://github.com/rbgirshick/py-faster-rcnn/tree/master/models) (900k/1190k) **29.2**(from scratch) **30.1**(converted) (**30.2** for tf-faster-rcnn).

With Resnet101 (last ``conv4``):
  - Train on VOC 2007 trainval and test on VOC 2007 test, **75.29**(from scratch) **75.76**(converted) (**75.7** for tf-faster-rcnn).
  - Train on VOC 2007+2012 trainval and test on VOC 2007 test (R-FCN schedule), **79.26**(from scratch) **79.78**(converted) (**79.8** for tf-faster-rcnn).
  - Train on COCO 2014 trainval35k and test on minival (800k/1190k), **35.1**(from scratch) **35.4**(converted) （**35.4** for tf-faster-rcnn).

More Results:
  - Train Mobilenet (1.0, 224) on COCO 2014 trainval35k and test on minival (900k/1190k), **21.4**(from scratch), **21.9**(converted) （**21.8** for tf-faster-rcnn).
  - Train Resnet50 on COCO 2014 trainval35k and test on minival (900k/1190k), **32.4**(converted) (**32.4** for tf-faster-rcnn).
  - Train Resnet152 on COCO 2014 trainval35k and test on minival (900k/1190k), **36.7**(converted) (**36.1** for tf-faster-rcnn).

Approximate *baseline* [setup](https://github.com/endernewton/tf-faster-rcnn/blob/master/experiments/cfgs/res101-lg.yml) from [FPN](https://arxiv.org/abs/1612.03144) (this repository does not contain training code for FPN yet):
  - Train Resnet50 on COCO 2014 trainval35k and test on minival (900k/1190k), ~~**34.2**~~.
  - Train Resnet101 on COCO 2014 trainval35k and test on minival (900k/1190k), ~~**37.4**~~.
  - Train Resnet152 on COCO 2014 trainval35k and test on minival (900k/1190k), ~~**38.2**~~.

#### Fast R-CNN
With VGG16 (``Conv 5-3``):
  - Train on VOC 2007 trainval and test on VOC 2007 test, **69.58** (from scratch)

**Note**:
  - Due to the randomness in GPU training especially for VOC, the best numbers are reported (with 2-3 attempts) here. According to Xinlei's experience, for COCO you can almost always get a very close number (within ~0.2%) despite the randomness.
  - The numbers are obtained with the **default** testing scheme which selects region proposals using non-maximal suppression (TEST.MODE nms), the alternative testing scheme (TEST.MODE top) will likely result in slightly better performance (see [report](https://arxiv.org/pdf/1702.02138.pdf), for COCO it boosts 0.X AP).
  - Since we keep the small proposals (\< 16 pixels width/height), our performance is especially good for small objects.
  - We do not set a threshold (instead of 0.05) for a detection to be included in the final result, which increases recall.
  - Weight decay is set to 1e-4.
  - For other minor modifications, please check the [report](https://arxiv.org/pdf/1702.02138.pdf). Notable ones include using ``crop_and_resize``, and excluding ground truth boxes in RoIs during training.
  - For COCO, we find the performance improving with more iterations, and potentially better performance can be achieved with even more iterations.
  - For Resnets, we fix the first block (total 4) when fine-tuning the network, and only use ``crop_and_resize`` to resize the RoIs (7x7) without max-pool (which Xinlei finds useless especially for COCO). The final feature maps are average-pooled for classification and regression. All batch normalization parameters are fixed. Learning rate for biases is not doubled.
  - For Mobilenets, we fix the first five layers when fine-tuning the network. All batch normalization parameters are fixed. Weight decay for Mobilenet layers is set to 4e-5.

- For approximate [FPN](https://arxiv.org/abs/1612.03144) baseline setup we simply resize the image with 800 pixels, add 32^2 anchors, and take 1000 proposals during testing.

### Additional features
Additional features not mentioned in the [report](https://arxiv.org/pdf/1702.02138.pdf) are added to make research life easier:
  - **Support for train-and-validation**. During training, the validation data will also be tested from time to time to monitor the process and check potential overfitting. Ideally training and validation should be separate, where the model is loaded every time to test on validation. However Xinlei have implemented it in a joint way to save time and GPU memory. Though in the default setup the testing data is used for validation, no special attempts is made to overfit on testing set.
  - **Support for resuming training**. Xinlei tried to store as much information as possible when snapshoting, with the purpose to resume training from the latest snapshot properly. The meta information includes current image index, permutation of images, and random state of numpy. However, when you resume training the random seed for tensorflow will be reset (not sure how to save the random state of tensorflow now), so it will result in a difference. **Note** that, the current implementation still cannot force the model to behave deterministically even with the random seeds set. Suggestion/solution is welcome and much appreciated.
  - **Support for visualization**. The current implementation will summarize ground truth boxes, statistics of losses, activations and variables during training, and dump it to a separate folder for tensorboard visualization. The computing graph is also saved for debugging.

### Prerequisites
  - A basic pytorch installation. The code follows **1.13.1**.
  - Torchvision. This code uses `torchvision.ops` for `nms`, `roi_pool` and `roi_align`.
  - Python packages you might not have: `opencv-python`, `easydict` (similar to [py-faster-rcnn](https://github.com/rbgirshick/py-faster-rcnn)). 
  - [tensorboardX](https://github.com/lanpa/tensorboardX) to visualize the training and validation curve. Please build from source to use the latest tensorflow-tensorboard.

### Installation
1. Clone the repository
  ```Shell
  git clone https://github.com/adityaarun1/pytorch-fast-er-rcnn.git
  ```

2. Install the [Python COCO API](https://github.com/pdollar/coco). The code requires the API to access COCO dataset.
  ```Shell
  cd data
  git clone https://github.com/pdollar/coco.git
  cd coco/PythonAPI
  make
  cd ../../..
  ```

### Setup data
Please follow the instructions of py-faster-rcnn [here](https://github.com/rbgirshick/py-faster-rcnn#beyond-the-demo-installation-for-training-and-testing-models) to setup VOC and COCO datasets (Part of COCO is done). The steps involve downloading data and optionally creating soft links in the ``data`` folder. Since faster RCNN does not rely on pre-computed proposals, it is safe to ignore the steps that setup proposals. For fast RCNN, follow the steps to setup the proposals.

#### Proposal Setup for fast RCNN
```Shell
cd data/scripts
./fetch_selective_search_data.sh
```

### Demo and Test with pre-trained models
1. Download pre-trained model (only google drive works - coming shortly)
  
  - Google drive (Coming shortly).

**(Optional)**
Instead of downloading my pretrained or converted model, you can also convert from tf-faster-rcnn model.
You can download the tensorflow pretrained model from [tf-faster-rcnn](https://github.com/endernewton/tf-faster-rcnn/#demo-and-test-with-pre-trained-models).
Then run:
```Shell
python tools/convert_from_tensorflow.py --tensorflow_model resnet_model.ckpt 
python tools/convert_from_tensorflow_vgg.py --tensorflow_model vgg_model.ckpt
```

This script will create a `.pth` file with the same name in the same folder as the tensorflow model.

2. Create a folder and a soft link to use the pre-trained model
  ```Shell
  NET=res101
  TRAIN_IMDB=voc_2007_trainval+voc_2012_trainval
  mkdir -p output/${NET}/${TRAIN_IMDB}
  cd output/${NET}/${TRAIN_IMDB}
  ln -s ../../../data/voc_2007_trainval+voc_2012_trainval ./default
  cd ../../..
  ```

3. Demo for testing on custom images
  ```Shell
  # at repository root
  GPU_ID=0
  CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=${GPU_ID} ./tools/demo.py
  ```
  **Note**: Resnet101 testing probably requires several gigabytes of memory, so if you encounter memory capacity issues, please install it with CPU support only. Refer to [Issue 25](https://github.com/endernewton/tf-faster-rcnn/issues/25).

4. Test with pre-trained Resnet101 models
  ```Shell
  GPU_ID=0
  ./experiments/scripts/test_faster_rcnn.sh $GPU_ID pascal_voc_0712 res101
  ```

### Train your own model
1. Download pre-trained models and weights. The current code support VGG16 and Resnet V1 models. Pre-trained models are provided by [pytorch-vgg](https://github.com/jcjohnson/pytorch-vgg.git) and [pytorch-resnet](https://github.com/ruotianluo/pytorch-resnet) (the ones with caffe in the name), you can download the pre-trained models and set them in the ``data/imagenet_weights`` folder. For example for VGG16 model, you can set up like:
   ```Shell
   mkdir -p data/imagenet_weights
   cd data/imagenet_weights
   python # open python in terminal and run the following Python code
   ```
   ```Python
   import torch
   from torch.utils.model_zoo import load_url
   from torchvision import models

sd = load_url("https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/jcjohns-models/vgg16-00b39a1b.pth")
   sd['classifier.0.weight'] = sd['classifier.1.weight']
   sd['classifier.0.bias'] = sd['classifier.1.bias']
   del sd['classifier.1.weight']
   del sd['classifier.1.bias']

sd['classifier.3.weight'] = sd['classifier.4.weight']
   sd['classifier.3.bias'] = sd['classifier.4.bias']
   del sd['classifier.4.weight']
   del sd['classifier.4.bias']

torch.save(sd, "vgg16.pth")
   ```
   ```Shell
   cd ../..
   ```
   For Resnet101, you can set up like:
   ```Shell
   mkdir -p data/imagenet_weights
   cd data/imagenet_weights
   # download from my gdrive (link in pytorch-resnet)
   mv resnet101-caffe.pth res101.pth
   cd ../..
   ```

For Mobilenet V1, you can set up like:
   ```Shell
   mkdir -p data/imagenet_weights
   cd data/imagenet_weights
   # download from my gdrive (https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B7fNdx_jAqhtZGJvZlpVeDhUN1k)
   mv mobilenet_v1_1.0_224.pth.pth mobile.pth
   cd ../..
   ```

2. Train (and test, evaluation)
  ```Shell
  ./experiments/scripts/train_faster_rcnn.sh [GPU_ID] [DATASET] [NET]
  # GPU_ID is the GPU you want to test on
  # NET in {vgg16, res50, res101, res152} is the network arch to use
  # DATASET {pascal_voc, pascal_voc_0712, coco} is defined in train_faster_rcnn.sh
  # Examples:
  ./experiments/scripts/train_faster_rcnn.sh 0 pascal_voc vgg16
  ./experiments/scripts/train_faster_rcnn.sh 1 coco res101
  ```
  **Note**: Please double check you have deleted soft link to the pre-trained models before training. If you find NaNs during training, please refer to [Issue 86](https://github.com/endernewton/tf-faster-rcnn/issues/86). Also if you want to have multi-gpu support, check out [Issue 121](https://github.com/endernewton/tf-faster-rcnn/issues/121).

3. Visualization with Tensorboard
  ```Shell
  tensorboard --logdir=tensorboard/vgg16/voc_2007_trainval/ --port=7001 &
  tensorboard --logdir=tensorboard/vgg16/coco_2014_train+coco_2014_valminusminival/ --port=7002 &
  ```

4. Test and evaluate
  ```Shell
  ./experiments/scripts/test_faster_rcnn.sh [GPU_ID] [DATASET] [NET]
  # GPU_ID is the GPU you want to test on
  # NET in {vgg16, res50, res101, res152} is the network arch to use
  # DATASET {pascal_voc, pascal_voc_0712, coco} is defined in test_faster_rcnn.sh
  # Examples:
  ./experiments/scripts/test_faster_rcnn.sh 0 pascal_voc vgg16
  ./experiments/scripts/test_faster_rcnn.sh 1 coco res101
  ```

5. You can use ``tools/reval.sh`` for re-evaluation

By default, trained networks are saved under:

```
output/[NET]/[DATASET]/default/
```

Test outputs are saved under:

```
output/[NET]/[DATASET]/default/[SNAPSHOT]/
```

Tensorboard information for train and validation is saved under:

```
tensorboard/[NET]/[DATASET]/default/
tensorboard/[NET]/[DATASET]/default_val/
```

The default number of training iterations is kept the same to the original faster RCNN for VOC 2007, however Xinlei finds it is beneficial to train longer (see [report](https://arxiv.org/pdf/1702.02138.pdf) for COCO), probably due to the fact that the image batch size is one. For VOC 07+12 we switch to a 80k/110k schedule following [R-FCN](https://github.com/daijifeng001/R-FCN). Also note that due to the nondeterministic nature of the current implementation, the performance can vary a bit, but in general it should be within ~1% of the reported numbers for VOC, and ~0.2% of the reported numbers for COCO. Suggestions/Contributions are welcome.

### Known Issues
Using tensorboard sometimes leads to the code crashing due to large protobuf file size. See the issue [here](https://github.com/ruotianluo/pytorch-faster-rcnn/issues/16) and [here](https://github.com/lanpa/tensorboardX/issues/52). Replace [this condition](https://github.com/adityaarun1/pytorch_fast-er_rcnn/blob/master/lib/model/train_val.py#L283) with ``if False:``.
