# FasterRcnn Description

Before FasterRcnn, the target detection networks rely on the region proposal algorithm to assume the location of targets, such as SPPnet and Fast R-CNN. Progress has reduced the running time of these detection networks, but it also reveals that the calculation of the region proposal is a bottleneck.

FasterRcnn proposed that convolution feature maps based on region detectors (such as Fast R-CNN) can also be used to generate region proposals. At the top of these convolution features, a Region Proposal Network (RPN) is constructed by adding some additional convolution layers (which share the convolution characteristics of the entire image with the detection network, thus making it possible to make regions almost costlessProposal), outputting both region bounds and objectness score for each location.Therefore, RPN is a full convolutional network (FCN), which can be trained end-to-end, generate high-quality region proposals, and then fed into Fast R-CNN for detection.

[Paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/1506.01497):   Ren S , He K , Girshick R , et al. Faster R-CNN: Towards Real-Time Object Detection with Region Proposal Networks[J]. IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence, 2015, 39(6).

# Model Architecture

FasterRcnn is a two-stage target detection network,This network uses a region proposal network (RPN), which can share the convolution features of the whole image with the detection network, so that the calculation of region proposal is almost cost free. The whole network further combines RPN and FastRcnn into a network by sharing the convolution features.

# 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](<https://cocodataset.org/>)

- 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

- Hardware（Ascend）
    - Prepare hardware environment with Ascend processor. If you want to try Ascend, please send the [application form](https://obs-9be7.obs.cn-east-2.myhuaweicloud.com/file/other/Ascend%20Model%20Zoo%E4%BD%93%E9%AA%8C%E8%B5%84%E6%BA%90%E7%94%B3%E8%AF%B7%E8%A1%A8.docx) to ascend@huawei.com. Once approved, you can get the resources.

- Docker base image
    - [Ascend Hub](ascend.huawei.com/ascendhub/#/home)

- Install [MindSpore](https://www.mindspore.cn/install/en).

- Download the dataset COCO2017.

- We use COCO2017 as training dataset in this example by default, and you can also use your own datasets.

    1. If coco dataset is used. **Select dataset to coco when run script.**
        Install Cython and pycocotool, and you can also install mmcv to process data.

        ```pip
        pip install Cython

        pip install pycocotools

        pip install mmcv==0.2.14
        ```

        And change the COCO_ROOT and other settings you need in `config.py`. The directory structure is as follows:

        ```path
        .
        └─cocodataset
          ├─annotations
            ├─instance_train2017.json
            └─instance_val2017.json
          ├─val2017
          └─train2017

        ```

    2. If your own dataset is used. **Select dataset to other when run script.**
        Organize the dataset infomation into a TXT file, each row in the file is as follows:

        ```log
        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 `config.py`.

# Quick Start

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

Note: 1.the first run will generate the mindeocrd file, which will take a long time.
      2.pretrained model is a resnet50 checkpoint that trained over ImageNet2012.
      3.VALIDATION_JSON_FILE is label file. CHECKPOINT_PATH is a checkpoint file after trained.

```shell
# standalone training
sh run_standalone_train_ascend.sh [PRETRAINED_MODEL]

# distributed training
sh run_distribute_train_ascend.sh [RANK_TABLE_FILE] [PRETRAINED_MODEL]

# eval
sh run_eval_ascend.sh [VALIDATION_JSON_FILE] [CHECKPOINT_PATH]

# inference
sh run_infer_310.sh [AIR_PATH] [DATA_PATH] [ANN_FILE_PATH]
```

# Run in docker

1. Build docker images

```shell
# build docker
docker build -t fasterrcnn:20.1.0 . --build-arg FROM_IMAGE_NAME=ascend-mindspore-arm:20.1.0
```

2. Create a container layer over the created image and start it

```shell
# start docker
bash scripts/docker_start.sh fasterrcnn:20.1.0 [DATA_DIR] [MODEL_DIR]
```

3. Train

```shell
# standalone training
sh run_standalone_train_ascend.sh [PRETRAINED_MODEL]

# distributed training

## Training Process

### Usage

```shell
# standalone training on ascend
sh run_standalone_train_ascend.sh [PRETRAINED_MODEL]

# distributed training on ascend
sh run_distribute_train_ascend.sh [RANK_TABLE_FILE] [PRETRAINED_MODEL]
```

Notes:

1. Rank_table.json which is specified by RANK_TABLE_FILE is needed when you are running a distribute task. You can generate it by using the [hccl_tools](https://gitee.com/mindspore/mindspore/tree/master/model_zoo/utils/hccl_tools).
2. As for PRETRAINED_MODEL，it should be a trained ResNet50 checkpoint. If you need to load Ready-made pretrained FasterRcnn checkpoint, you may make changes to the train.py script as follows.

```python
# Comment out the following code
#   load_path = args_opt.pre_trained
#    if load_path != "":
#        param_dict = load_checkpoint(load_path)
#        for item in list(param_dict.keys()):
#            if not item.startswith('backbone'):
#                param_dict.pop(item)
#        load_param_into_net(net, param_dict)

# Add the following codes after optimizer definition since the FasterRcnn checkpoint includes optimizer parameters：
    lr = Tensor(dynamic_lr(config, rank_size=device_num), mstype.float32)
    opt = SGD(params=net.trainable_params(), learning_rate=lr, momentum=config.momentum,
              weight_decay=config.weight_decay, loss_scale=config.loss_scale)

    if load_path != "":
        param_dict = load_checkpoint(load_path)
        for item in list(param_dict.keys()):
            if item in ("global_step", "learning_rate") or "rcnn.reg_scores" in item or "rcnn.cls_scores" in item:
                param_dict.pop(item)
        load_param_into_net(opt, param_dict)
        load_param_into_net(net, param_dict)
```

3. The original dataset path needs to be in the config.py,you can select "coco_root" or "image_dir".

### Result

Training result will be stored in the example path, whose folder name begins with "train" or "train_parallel". You can find checkpoint file together with result like the followings in loss_rankid.log.

## Evaluation Process

### Usage

```shell
# eval on ascend
sh run_eval_ascend.sh [VALIDATION_JSON_FILE] [CHECKPOINT_PATH]
```

> checkpoint can be produced in training process.

### Result

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

```log
