Single Shot MultiBox Detector Implementation in Pytorch

This repo implements SSD (Single Shot MultiBox Detector). The implementation is heavily influenced by the projects ssd.pytorch and Detectron. The design goal is modularity and extensibility.

Currently, it has MobileNetV1, MobileNetV2, and VGG based SSD/SSD-Lite implementations.

It also has out-of-box support for retraining on Google Open Images dataset.

Dependencies

Python 3.6+
OpenCV
Pytorch 1.0 or Pytorch 0.4+
Caffe2
Pandas
Boto3 if you want to train models on the Google OpenImages Dataset.

Download models

Please download the models and put them into the folder "./models". The following sections will need them. URL: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1pKn-RifvJGWiOx0ZCRLtCXM5GT5lAluu?usp=sharing

Run the demo

Run the live MobilenetV1 SSD demo

# If you haven't downloaded the models, please download from https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1pKn-RifvJGWiOx0ZCRLtCXM5GT5lAluu?usp=sharing.
python run_ssd_live_demo.py mb1-ssd models/mobilenet-v1-ssd-mp-0_675.pth models/voc-model-labels.txt

Run the live demo in Caffe2

# If you haven't downloaded the models, please download from https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1pKn-RifvJGWiOx0ZCRLtCXM5GT5lAluu?usp=sharing.
python run_ssd_live_caffe2.py models/mobilenet-v1-ssd_init_net.pb models/mobilenet-v1-ssd_predict_net.pb models/voc-model-labels.txt

You can see a decent speed boost by using Caffe2.

Run the live MobileNetV2 SSD Lite demo

# If you haven't downloaded the models, please download from https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1pKn-RifvJGWiOx0ZCRLtCXM5GT5lAluu?usp=sharing.
python run_ssd_live_demo.py mb2-ssd-lite models/mb2-ssd-lite-mp-0_686.pth models/voc-model-labels.txt

The above MobileNetV2 SSD-Lite model is not ONNX-Compatible, as it uses Relu6 which is not supported by ONNX. The code supports the ONNX-Compatible version. Once I have trained a good enough MobileNetV2 model with Relu, I will upload the corresponding Pytorch and Caffe2 models.

You may notice MobileNetV2 SSD/SSD-Lite is slower than MobileNetV1 SSD/Lite on PC. However, MobileNetV2 is faster on mobile devices.

The code to re-produce the model:

wget -P models https://s3.amazonaws.com/amdegroot-models/vgg16_reducedfc.pth
python train_ssd.py --datasets ~/data/VOC0712/VOC2007/ ~/data/VOC0712/VOC2012/ --validation_dataset ~/data/VOC0712/test/VOC2007/ --net vgg16-ssd --base_net models/vgg16_reducedfc.pth  --batch_size 24 --num_epochs 200 --scheduler "multi-step” —-milestones “120,160”

Training

python train_ssd.py --datasets ~/data/VOC0712/VOC2007/ ~/data/VOC0712/VOC2012/ --validation_dataset ~/data/VOC0712/test/VOC2007/ --net mb1-ssd --base_net models/mobilenet_v1_with_relu_69_5.pth  --batch_size 24 --num_epochs 200 --scheduler cosine --lr 0.01 --t_max 200

The dataset path is the parent directory of the folders: Annotations, ImageSets, JPEGImages, SegmentationClass and SegmentationObject. You can use multiple datasets to train.

Evaluation

python eval_ssd.py --net mb1-ssd  --dataset ~/data/VOC0712/test/VOC2007/ --trained_model models/mobilenet-v1-ssd-mp-0_675.pth --label_file models/voc-model-labels.txt

Convert models to ONNX and Caffe2 models

python convert_to_caffe2_models.py mb1-ssd models/mobilenet-v1-ssd-mp-0_675.pth models/voc-model-labels.txt

The converted models are models/mobilenet-v1-ssd.onnx, models/mobilenet-v1-ssd_init_net.pb and models/mobilenet-v1-ssd_predict_net.pb. The models in the format of pbtxt are also saved for reference.

Retrain on Open Images Dataset

Let's we are building a model to detect guns for security purpose.

Before you start you can try the demo.

python run_ssd_example.py mb1-ssd models/gun_model_2.21.pth models/open-images-model-labels.txt ~/Downloads/big.JPG

If you manage to get more annotated data, the accuracy could become much higher.

Download data

python open_images_downloader.py --root ~/data/open_images --class_names "Handgun,Shotgun" --num_workers 20

It will download data into the folder ~/data/open_images.

The content of the data directory looks as follows.

class-descriptions-boxable.csv       test                        validation
sub-test-annotations-bbox.csv        test-annotations-bbox.csv   validation-annotations-bbox.csv
sub-train-annotations-bbox.csv       train
sub-validation-annotations-bbox.csv  train-annotations-bbox.csv

The folders train, test, validation contain the images. The files like sub-train-annotations-bbox.csv is the annotation file.

Retrain

python train_ssd.py --dataset_type open_images --datasets ~/data/open_images --net mb1-ssd --pretrained_ssd models/mobilenet-v1-ssd-mp-0_675.pth --scheduler cosine --lr 0.01 --t_max 100 --validation_epochs 5 --num_epochs 100 --base_net_lr 0.001  --batch_size 5

You can freeze the base net, or all the layers except the prediction heads.

  --freeze_base_net     Freeze base net layers.
  --freeze_net          Freeze all the layers except the prediction head.

You can also use different learning rates for the base net, the extra layers and the prediction heads.

  --lr LR, --learning-rate LR
  --base_net_lr BASE_NET_LR
                        initial learning rate for base net.
  --extra_layers_lr EXTRA_LAYERS_LR

As subsets of open images data can be very unbalanced, it also provides a handy option to roughly balance the data.

  --balance_data        Balance training data by down-sampling more frequent
                        labels.

Test on image

python run_ssd_example.py mb1-ssd models/mobilenet-v1-ssd-Epoch-99-Loss-2.2184619531035423.pth models/open-images-model-labels.txt ~/Downloads/gun.JPG

ONNX Friendly VGG16 SSD

! The model is not really ONNX-Friendly due the issue mentioned here "#33 (comment)"

The Scaled L2 Norm Layer has been replaced with BatchNorm to make the net ONNX compatible.

Train

The pretrained based is borrowed from https://s3.amazonaws.com/amdegroot-models/vgg16_reducedfc.pth .

python train_ssd.py --datasets ~/data/VOC0712/VOC2007/ ~/data/VOC0712/VOC2012/ --validation_dataset ~/data/VOC0712/test/VOC2007/ --net "vgg16-ssd" --base_net models/vgg16_reducedfc.pth  --batch_size 24 --num_epochs 150 --scheduler cosine --lr 0.0012 --t_max 150 --validation_epochs 5

Eval

python eval_ssd.py --net vgg16-ssd  --dataset ~/data/VOC0712/test/VOC2007/ --trained_model models/vgg16-ssd-Epoch-115-Loss-2.819455094383535.pth --label_file models/voc-model-labels.txt
