Test implementation of Tiny-YOLO-v3.

Based on MXNet and Gluon-cv.

This repo is in active development. Issues are welcomed.

Features

  • Morden-day tricks, including multi-scale training and mix-up
  • Pretrained weights and logs provided
  • EXTREMELY FAST (See below)

Preparation

0) Requirements

  • python 3.7
  • mxnet 1.5.1
  • numpy < 1.18
  • matplotlib
  • tqdm
  • opencv
  • pycocotools

Note that numpy 1.18 will cause problem for pycocotools. See more.

I'd suggest creating a new conda environment.

conda create -n tinyyolo python=3.7 numpy=1.17 matplotlib tqdm opencv Cython
conda activate tinyyolo
pip install mxnet-cu101mkl pycocotools

Other versions like mxnet-cu92 and mxnet-cu92mkl are all acceptable.

1) Code

git clone git@github.com:EletronicElephant/tiny_yolov3.git
cd tiny_yolov3/gluon-cv
python setup.py develop --user

2) Data

Up to now, only MS COCO-formatted dataset is supported.

cd ./..  # return to the root
mkdir data
cd data
ln -s /disk1/data/coco

3) weights

weights/best.params

Evaluation results on COCO val2017 are listed below.

Average Precision  (AP) @[ IoU=0.50:0.95 | area=   all | maxDets=100 ] = 0.139
Average Precision  (AP) @[ IoU=0.50      | area=   all | maxDets=100 ] = 0.297
Average Precision  (AP) @[ IoU=0.75      | area=   all | maxDets=100 ] = 0.114
Average Precision  (AP) @[ IoU=0.50:0.95 | area= small | maxDets=100 ] = 0.047
Average Precision  (AP) @[ IoU=0.50:0.95 | area=medium | maxDets=100 ] = 0.137
Average Precision  (AP) @[ IoU=0.50:0.95 | area= large | maxDets=100 ] = 0.224
Average Recall     (AR) @[ IoU=0.50:0.95 | area=   all | maxDets=  1 ] = 0.159
Average Recall     (AR) @[ IoU=0.50:0.95 | area=   all | maxDets= 10 ] = 0.248
Average Recall     (AR) @[ IoU=0.50:0.95 | area=   all | maxDets=100 ] = 0.262
Average Recall     (AR) @[ IoU=0.50:0.95 | area= small | maxDets=100 ] = 0.100
Average Recall     (AR) @[ IoU=0.50:0.95 | area=medium | maxDets=100 ] = 0.270
Average Recall     (AR) @[ IoU=0.50:0.95 | area= large | maxDets=100 ] = 0.406

Training

You can either edit the parameters by changing the default values in trian.py or specify it.

Personally, I would recommend creating a new file named train.sh and adds

python train.py \
--batch-size 64 \
--gpus 4,5  \
--num-workers 16 \
--warmup-epochs 2 \
--lr 0.001 \
--epochs 200 \
--lr-mode step \
--save-prefix ./results/1/ \
--save-interval 1 \
--log-interval 100 \
--start-epoch 0 \
--optimizer sgd \
--label-smooth

Make sure you have 24GB gMemory for training with batch-size=64 and random-shape.

In other words, training with bs=64 and data-shape=640 will use 24GB gMemory.

For a more commonly-used shape 416*416, 12GB gMemory will be used for bs=64 at 200 Samples/second on a Titan Xp.

Evaluation

I believe online-evaluating is stupid, for it can waste valuable training time. Instead, I would suggest a bash trick.

for epoch in {0000..0199..1}
do
    while [ ! -f ./results/yolo3_tiny_darknet_coco_${epoch}.params ]
    do
    echo -n "."
    sleep 60
    done

    python eval.py --data-shape 416 \
    --save-prefix ./results/ \
    --gpus 3 --batch-size 4 --num-workers 4 --start-epoch ${epoch} 
done

Demo

TODO

Benchmarking the speed of network

python eval.py --resume weights/best.params --benchmark

Here is the test result on Titan Xp

data-shape fps (bs=1) fps (bs=8)
320 218 633
416 204 638
608 156 327

Credits

I got a lot of code from gluon-cv. Thanks.

Comments

If you encountered with high CPU-usage while training (especially on some machines that have more than 40 cores), you can set these environmental variables

export MKL_NUM_THREADS="1"
export MKL_DOMAIN_NUM_THREADS="MKL_BLAS=1"
export OMP_NUM_THREADS="1"
export MKL_DYNAMIC="FALSE"
export OMP_DYNAMIC="FALSE"

MXNet currently doesn't provide any high-performance image-data-argumentation method. The whole training speed is largely infected by the transformer.

Known Issues

  • [UNTESTED] Mixup will not work.
  • [UNTESTED] Adam optimizer runs slowly.
