# [YOLOv3_ResNet18 Description](#contents)

YOLOv3 network based on ResNet-18, with support for training and evaluation.

[Paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/1804.02767):  Joseph Redmon, Ali Farhadi. arXiv preprint arXiv:1804.02767, 2018. 2, 4, 7, 11.

# [Model Architecture](#contents)

The overall network architecture of YOLOv3 is show below:

And we use ResNet18 as the backbone of YOLOv3_ResNet18. The architecture of ResNet18 has 4 stages. The ResNet architecture performs the initial convolution and max-pooling using 7×7 and 3×3 kernel sizes respectively. Afterward,  every stage of the network has different Residual blocks (2, 2, 2, 2) containing two 3×3 conv layers. Finally, the network has an Average Pooling layer followed by a fully connected layer. 


# [Dataset](#contents)

Dataset used: [COCO2017](<http://images.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

- Dataset

    1. The directory structure is as follows:
        ```
        .
        ├── annotations  # annotation jsons
        ├── train2017    # train dataset
        └── val2017      # infer dataset
        ```

    2. Organize the dataset infomation into a TXT file, each row in the file is as follows:

        ```
        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]. `dataset.py` is the parsing script, 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 external inputs.

```

## [Script Parameters](#contents)

  ```
  Major parameters in train.py and config.py as follows:

    device_num: Use device nums, default is 1.
    lr: Learning rate, default is 0.001.
    epoch_size: Epoch size, default is 50.
    batch_size: Batch size, default is 32.
    pre_trained: Pretrained Checkpoint file path.
    pre_trained_epoch_size: Pretrained epoch size.
    mindrecord_dir: Mindrecord directory.
    image_dir: Dataset path.
    anno_path: Annotation path.

    img_shape: Image height and width used as input to the model.
  ```


## [Training Process](#contents)

### Training on Ascend
To train the model, run `train.py` with the dataset `image_dir`, `anno_path` and `mindrecord_dir`. If the `mindrecord_dir` is empty, it wil generate [mindrecord](https://www.mindspore.cn/tutorial/training/zh-CN/master/advanced_use/convert_dataset.html) file by `image_dir` and `anno_path`(the absolute image path is joined by the `image_dir` and the relative path in `anno_path`). **Note if `mindrecord_dir` isn't empty, it will use `mindrecord_dir` rather than `image_dir` and `anno_path`.**

- Stand alone mode

    ```
    sh run_standalone_train.sh 0 50 ./Mindrecord_train ./dataset ./dataset/train.txt
    ```

    The input variables are device id, epoch size, mindrecord directory path, dataset directory path and train TXT file path.


- Distributed mode

    ```
    sh run_distribute_train.sh 8 150 /data/Mindrecord_train /data /data/train.txt /data/hccl.json
    ```

    The input variables are device numbers, epoch size, mindrecord directory path, dataset directory path, train TXT file path and [hccl json configuration file](https://gitee.com/mindspore/mindspore/tree/master/model_zoo/utils/hccl_tools). **It is better to use absolute path.**

You will get the loss value and time of each step as following:

  ```
  epoch: 145 step: 156, loss is 12.202981
  epoch time: 25599.22742843628, per step time: 164.0976117207454
  epoch: 146 step: 156, loss is 16.91706
  epoch time: 23199.971675872803, per step time: 148.7177671530308
  epoch: 147 step: 156, loss is 13.04007
  epoch time: 23801.95164680481, per step time: 152.57661312054364
  epoch: 148 step: 156, loss is 10.431475
  epoch time: 23634.241580963135, per step time: 151.50154859591754
  epoch: 149 step: 156, loss is 14.665991
  epoch time: 24118.8325881958, per step time: 154.60790120638333 
  epoch: 150 step: 156, loss is 10.779521
  epoch time: 25319.57221031189, per step time: 162.30495006610187
  ```

Note the results is two-classification(person and face) used our own annotations with coco2017, you can change `num_classes` in `config.py` to train your dataset. And we will suport 80 classifications in coco2017 the near future.

## [Evaluation Process](#contents)
### Evaluation on Ascend

To eval, run `eval.py` with the dataset `image_dir`, `anno_path`(eval txt), `mindrecord_dir` and `ckpt_path`. `ckpt_path` is the path of [checkpoint](https://www.mindspore.cn/tutorial/training/en/master/use/save_model.html) file.

  ```
  sh run_eval.sh 0 yolo.ckpt ./Mindrecord_eval ./dataset ./dataset/eval.txt
  ```

The input variables are device id, checkpoint path, mindrecord directory path, dataset directory path and train TXT file path.

You will get the precision and recall value of each class:

  ```
  class 0 precision is 88.18%, recall is 66.00%
  class 1 precision is 85.34%, recall is 79.13%
  ```

Note the precision and recall values are results of two-classification(person and face) used our own annotations with coco2017.
