A Simple Pipeline to Train PyTorch FasterRCNN Model
Train PyTorch FasterRCNN models easily on any custom dataset. Choose between official PyTorch models trained on COCO dataset, or choose any backbone from Torchvision classification models, or even write your own custom backbones.
You can run a Faster RCNN model with Mini Darknet backbone and Mini Detection Head at more than 150 FPS on an RTX 3080.

Latest Update
-
Filter classes to visualize during inference using the
--classes
command line argument with space separated class indices from the dataset YAML file.For example, to visualize only persons in COCO dataset, use,
python inference.py --classes 1 <rest of the command>
To visualize person and car, use,
python inference.py --classes 1 3 <rest of the command>
-
Added Deep SORT Real-Time tracking to
inference_video.py
andonnx_video_inference.py
. Using--track
command with the usual inference command. Support for MobileNet Re-ID for now.

Train on Custom Dataset
Taking an exmaple of the smoke dataset from Kaggle. Let's say that the dataset is in the data/smoke_pascal_voc
directory in the following format. And the smoke.yaml
is in the data_configs
directory. Assuming, we store the smoke data in the data
directory
├── data
│ ├── smoke_pascal_voc
│ │ ├── archive
│ │ │ ├── train
│ │ │ └── valid
│ └── README.md

├── inference.py
├── inference_video.py

├── README.md
├── requirements.txt
└── train.py
The content of the smoke.yaml
should be the following:
# Images and labels direcotry should be relative to train.py
TRAIN_DIR_IMAGES: ../../xml_od_data/smoke_pascal_voc/archive/train/images
TRAIN_DIR_LABELS: ../../xml_od_data/smoke_pascal_voc/archive/train/annotations
# VALID_DIR should be relative to train.py
VALID_DIR_IMAGES: ../../xml_od_data/smoke_pascal_voc/archive/valid/images
VALID_DIR_LABELS: ../../xml_od_data/smoke_pascal_voc/archive/valid/annotations
# Class names.
CLASSES: [
'__background__',
'smoke'
]
# Number of classes (object classes + 1 for background class in Faster RCNN).
NC: 2
# Whether to save the predictions of the validation set while training.
SAVE_VALID_PREDICTION_IMAGES: True
Note that the data and annotations can be in the same directory as well. In that case, the TRAIN_DIR_IMAGES and TRAIN_DIR_LABELS will save the same path. Similarly for VALID images and labels. The datasets.py
will take care of that.
Next, to start the training, you can use the following command.
Command format:
python train.py --data <path to the data config YAML file> --epochs 100 --model <model name (defaults to fasterrcnn_resnet50)> --name <folder name inside output/training/> --batch 16
In this case, the exact command would be:
python train.py --data data_configs/smoke.yaml --epochs 100 --model fasterrcnn_resnet50_fpn --name smoke_training --batch 16
The terimal output should be similar to the following:
Number of training samples: 665
Number of validation samples: 72
3,191,405 total parameters.
3,191,405 training parameters.
Epoch 0: adjusting learning rate of group 0 to 1.0000e-03.

Distributed Training
Training on 2 GPUs:
export CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1
python -m torch.distributed.launch --nproc_per_node=2 --use_env train.py --data data_configs/smoke.yaml --epochs 100 --model fasterrcnn_resnet50_fpn --name smoke_training --batch 16
Inference
Image Inference on COCO Pretrained Model
By default using Faster RCNN ResNet50 FPN V2 model.
python inference.py
Use model of your choice with an image input.
python inference.py --model fasterrcnn_mobilenetv3_large_fpn --input example_test_data/image_1.jpg
Image Inference in Custom Trained Model
In this case you only need to give the weights file path and input file path. The config file and the model name are optional. If not provided they will will be automatically inferred from the weights file.
python inference.py --input data/inference_data/image_1.jpg --weights outputs/training/smoke_training/last_model_state.pth
Video Inference on COCO Pretrrained Model
python inference_video.py
Video Inference in Custom Trained Model
python inference_video.py --input data/inference_data/video_1.mp4 --weights outputs/training/smoke_training/last_model_state.pth
Tracking using COCO Pretrained Models
# Track all COCO classes (Faster RCNN ResNet50 FPN V2).
python inference_video.py --track --model fasterrcnn_resnet50_fpn_v2 --show
# Track all COCO classes (Faster RCNN ResNet50 FPN V2) using own video.
python inference_video.py --track --model fasterrcnn_resnet50_fpn_v2 --show --input ../inference_data/video_1.mp4
# Tracking only person class (index 1 in COCO pretrained). Check `COCO_91_CLASSES` attribute in `data_configs/coco.yaml` for more information.
python inference_video.py --track --model fasterrcnn_resnet50_fpn_v2 --show --input ../inference_data/video_4.mp4 --classes 1
# Tracking only person and car classes (indices 1 and 3 in COCO pretrained). Check `COCO_91_CLASSES` attribute in `data_configs/coco.yaml` for more information.
python inference_video.py --track --model fasterrcnn_resnet50_fpn_v2 --show --input ../inference_data/video_4.mp4 --classes 1 3
# Tracking using custom trained weights. Just provide the path to the weights instead of model name.
python inference_video.py --track --weights outputs/training/fish_det/best_model.pth --show --input ../inference_data/video_6.mp4
Evaluation
Replace the required arguments according to your need.
python eval.py --model fasterrcnn_resnet50_fpn_v2 --weights outputs/training/trial/best_model.pth --data data_configs/aquarium.yaml --batch 4
You can use the following command to show a table for class-wise Average Precision (--verbose
additionally needed).
python eval.py --model fasterrcnn_resnet50_fpn_v2 --weights outputs/training/trial/best_model.pth --data data_configs/aquarium.yaml --batch 4 --verbose
A List of All Model Flags to Use With the Training Script
The following command expects the coco
dataset to be present one directory back inside the input
folder in XML format. You can find the dataset here on Kaggle. Check the data_configs/coco.yaml
for more details. You can change the relative dataset path in the YAML file according to your structure.
