CenterFace Description

CenterFace is a practical anchor-free face detection and alignment method for edge devices, we support training and evaluation on Ascend910.

Face detection and alignment in unconstrained environment is always deployed on edge devices which have limited memory storage and low computing power.
CenterFace proposes a one-stage method to simultaneously predict facial box and landmark location with real-time speed and high accuracy.

Paper: CenterFace: Joint Face Detection and Alignment Using Face as Point.
Xu, Yuanyuan(Huaqiao University) and Yan, Wan(StarClouds) and Sun, Haixin(Xiamen University)
and Yang, Genke(Shanghai Jiaotong University) and Luo, Jiliang(Huaqiao University)

Model Architecture

CenterFace uses mobilenet_v2 as pretrained backbone, add 4 layer fpn, with four head.
Four loss is presented, total loss is their weighted mean.

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 support: [WiderFace] or datasetd with the same format as WiderFace
Annotation support: [WiderFace] or annotation as the same format as WiderFace

The directory structure is as follows, the name of directory and file is user define:

    ├── dataset
        ├── centerface
            ├── annotations
            │   ├─ train.json
            │   └─ val.json
            ├─ images
            │   ├─ train
            │   │    └─images

               └─xxx.mat

we suggest user to use WiderFace dataset to experience our model,
other datasets need to use the same format as WiderFace.

Environment Requirements

Hardware（Ascend）
- Prepare hardware environment with Ascend processor. If you want to try Ascend, please send the application form to ascend@huawei.com. Once approved, you can get the resources.
Framework
- MindSpore
For more information, please check the resources below：
- MindSpore tutorials
- MindSpore API

Quick Start

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

step1: prepare pretrained model: train a mobilenet_v2 model by mindspore or use the script below:

#CenterFace need a pretrained mobilenet_v2 model:
#        mobilenet_v2_key.ckpt is a model with all value zero, we need the key/cell/module name for this model.
#        you must first use this script to convert your mobilenet_v2 pytorch model to mindspore model as a pretrain model.
#        The key/cell/module name must as follow, otherwise you need to modify "name_map" function:
#            --mindspore: as the same as mobilenet_v2_key.ckpt
#            --pytorch: same as official pytorch model(e.g., official mobilenet_v2-b0353104.pth)
python torch_to_ms_mobilenetv2.py --ckpt_fn=./mobilenet_v2_key.ckpt --pt_fn=./mobilenet_v2-b0353104.pth --out_ckpt_fn=./mobilenet_v2.ckpt

step2: prepare user rank_table

# user can use your own rank table file
# or use the [hccl_tools](https://gitee.com/mindspore/mindspore/tree/master/model_zoo/utils/hccl_tools) to generate rank table file
# e.g., python hccl_tools.py --device_num "[0,8)"
python hccl_tools.py --device_num "[0,8)"

step3: train

cd scripts;
# prepare data_path, use symbolic link
ln -sf [USE_DATA_DIR] dataset
# check you dir to make sure your datas are in the right path
ls ./dataset/centerface # data path
ls ./dataset/centerface/annotations/train.json # annot_path
ls ./dataset/centerface/images/train/images # img_dir

# enter script dir, train CenterFace
sh train_distribute.sh
# after training
mkdir ./model
cp device0/outputs/*/*.ckpt ./model # cp model to [MODEL_PATH]

step4: test

# test CenterFace preparing
cd ../dependency/centernet/src/lib/external;
python setup.py install;
make;
cd -; #cd ../../../../../scripts;
cd ../dependency/evaluate;
python setup.py install; # used for eval
cd -; #cd ../../scripts;
mkdir ./output
mkdir ./output/centerface
# check you dir to make sure your datas are in the right path
ls ./dataset/images/val/images/ # data path
ls ./dataset/centerface/ground_truth/val.mat # annot_path

# test CenterFace
sh test_distribute.sh

step5: eval

# after test, eval CenterFace, get MAP
# cd ../dependency/evaluate;
# python setup.py install;
# cd -; #cd ../../scripts;
sh eval_all.sh

Training Process

Training

'task_set' is important for multi-npu train to get higher speed
--task_set: 0, not task_set; 1 task_set;
--task_set_core: task_set core number, most time = cpu number/nproc_per_node

step1: user need train a mobilenet_v2 model by mindspore or use the script below:

python torch_to_ms_mobilenetv2.py --ckpt_fn=./mobilenet_v2_key.ckpt --pt_fn=./mobilenet_v2-b0353104.pth --out_ckpt_fn=./mobilenet_v2.ckpt

step2: prepare user rank_table

# user can use your own rank table file
# or use the [hccl_tools](https://gitee.com/mindspore/mindspore/tree/master/model_zoo/utils/hccl_tools) to generate rank table file
# e.g., python hccl_tools.py --device_num "[0,8)"
python hccl_tools.py --device_num "[0,8)"

step3: train

Single device

# enter script dir, train CenterFace
cd scripts
# you need to change the parameter in train_standalone.sh
# or use symbolic link as quick start
# or use the command as follow:
#   USE_DEVICE_ID: your device
#   PRETRAINED_BACKBONE: your pretrained model path
#   DATASET: dataset path
#   ANNOTATIONS: annotation path
#   images: img_dir in dataset path
sh train_standalone.sh [USE_DEVICE_ID] [PRETRAINED_BACKBONE] [DATASET] [ANNOTATIONS] [IMAGES]
# after training
cp device0/outputs/*/*.ckpt [MODEL_PATH]

multi-device (recommended)

# enter script dir, train CenterFace
cd scripts;
# you need to change the parameter in train_distribute.sh
# or use symbolic link as quick start
# or use the command as follow, most are the same as train_standalone.sh, the different is RANK_TABLE
#   RANK_TABLE: for multi-device only, from generate_rank_table.py or user writing
sh train_distribute.sh [RANK_TABLE] [PRETRAINED_BACKBONE] [DATASET] [ANNOTATIONS] [IMAGES]
# after training
cp device0/outputs/*/*.ckpt [MODEL_PATH]

After training with 8 device, the loss value will be achieved as follows:

# grep "loss is " device0/xxx.log
# epoch: 1 step: 1, loss is greater than 500 and less than 5000

sh test_distribute.sh [MODEL_PATH] [DATASET] [GROUND_TRUTH_MAT] [SAVE_PATH] [DEVICE_NUM] [STEPS_PER_EPOCH] [START] [END]

After testing, you can find many txt file save the box information and scores,
open it you can see:

646.3 189.1 42.1 51.8 0.747 # left top hight weight score
157.4 408.6 43.1 54.1 0.667
