YOLOv3-DarkNet53 Description

You only look once (YOLO) is a state-of-the-art, real-time object detection system. YOLOv3 is extremely fast and accurate.

Prior detection systems repurpose classifiers or localizers to perform detection. They apply the model to an image at multiple locations and scales. High scoring regions of the image are considered detections.
YOLOv3 use a totally different approach. It apply a single neural network to the full image. This network divides the image into regions and predicts bounding boxes and probabilities for each region. These bounding boxes are weighted by the predicted probabilities.

YOLOv3 uses a few tricks to improve training and increase performance, including: multi-scale predictions, a better backbone classifier, and more. The full details are in the paper!

Paper: YOLOv3: An Incremental Improvement. Joseph Redmon, Ali Farhadi,
University of Washington

Model Architecture

YOLOv3 use DarkNet53 for performing feature extraction, which is a hybrid approach between the network used in YOLOv2, Darknet-19, and that newfangled residual network stuff. DarkNet53 uses successive 3 × 3 and 1 × 1 convolutional layers and has some shortcut connections as well and is significantly larger. It has 53 convolutional layers.

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: COCO2014

• Dataset size: 19G, 123,287 images, 80 object categories.
  • Train：13G, 82,783 images
  • Val：6G, 40,504 images
  • Annotations: 241M, Train/Val annotations
• Data format：zip files
  • Note：Data will be processed in yolo_dataset.py, and unzip files before uses it.

Environment Requirements

• Hardware（Ascend/GPU）
• Prepare hardware environment with Ascend or GPU 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 Python API

Quick Start

After installing MindSpore via the official website, you can start training and evaluation in as follows. If running on GPU, please add --device_target=GPU in the python command or use the "_gpu" shell script ("xxx_gpu.sh").

# The darknet53_backbone.ckpt in the follow script is got from darknet53 training like paper.
# pretrained_backbone can use src/convert_weight.py, convert darknet53.conv.74 to mindspore ckpt, darknet53.conv.74 can get from `https://pjreddie.com/media/files/darknet53.conv.74` .
# The parameter of training_shape define image shape for network, default is "".
# It means use 10 kinds of shape as input shape, or it can be set some kind of shape.
# run training example(1p) by python command.

Training Process

Training

python train.py \
    --data_dir=./dataset/coco2014 \
    --pretrained_backbone=darknet53_backbone.ckpt \
    --is_distributed=0 \
    --lr=0.001 \
    --loss_scale=1024 \
    --weight_decay=0.016 \

    --max_epoch=320 \
    --warmup_epochs=4 \
    --training_shape=416 \
    --lr_scheduler=cosine_annealing > log.txt 2>&1 &

The python command above will run in the background, you can view the results through the file log.txt. If running on GPU, please add --device_target=GPU in the python command.

After training, you'll get some checkpoint files under the outputs folder by default. The loss value will be achieved as follows:

# grep "loss:" train/log.txt
2020-08-20 14:14:43,640:INFO:epoch[0], iter[0], loss:7809.262695, 0.15 imgs/sec, lr:9.746589057613164e-06
2020-08-20 14:15:05,142:INFO:epoch[0], iter[100], loss:2778.349033, 133.92 imgs/sec, lr:0.0009844054002314806

...

The model checkpoint will be saved in outputs directory.

Distributed Training

For Ascend device, distributed training example(8p) by shell script

sh run_distribute_train.sh dataset/coco2014 darknet53_backbone.ckpt rank_table_8p.json

For GPU device, distributed training example(8p) by shell script

sh run_distribute_train_gpu.sh dataset/coco2014 darknet53_backbone.ckpt

The above shell script will run distribute training in the background. You can view the results through the file train_parallel[X]/log.txt. The loss value will be achieved as follows:

# distribute training result(8p)

Evaluation Process

Evaluation

Before running the command below. If running on GPU, please add --device_target=GPU in the python command or use the "_gpu" shell script ("xxx_gpu.sh").

python eval.py \
    --data_dir=./dataset/coco2014 \
    --pretrained=yolov3.ckpt \
    --testing_shape=416 > log.txt 2>&1 &
OR
sh run_eval.sh dataset/coco2014/ checkpoint/0-319_102400.ckpt

The above python command will run in the background. You can view the results through the file "log.txt". The mAP of the test dataset will be as follows:

This the standard format from pycocotools, you can refer to cocodataset for more detail.
