TFFRCNN

This is an experimental Tensor Flow implementation of Faster RCNN (TFFRCNN), mainly based on the work of smallcorgi and rbgirshick. I have re-organized the libraries under lib path, making each of python modules independent to each other, so you can understand, re-write the code easily.

For details about R-CNN please refer to the paper Faster R-CNN: Towards Real-Time Object Detection with Region Proposal Networks by Shaoqing Ren, Kaiming He, Ross Girshick, Jian Sun.

  2. Faster-RCNN_TF

  3. ROI pooling

Requirements: software

  1. Requirements for Tensorflow (see: Tensorflow)

  2. Python packages you might not have: cython, python-opencv, easydict (recommend to install: Anaconda)

Requirements: hardware

  1. For training the end-to-end version of Faster R-CNN with VGG16, 3G of GPU memory is sufficient (using CUDNN)

Installation (sufficient for the demo)

  1. Clone the Faster R-CNN repository
git clone https://github.com/CharlesShang/TFFRCNN.git
  1. Build the Cython modules
    cd TFFRCNN/lib
    make # compile cython and roi_pooling_op, you may need to modify make.sh for your platform
    

Demo

After successfully completing basic installation, you'll be ready to run the demo.

To run the demo

cd $TFFRCNN
python ./faster_rcnn/demo.py --model model_path

The demo performs detection using a VGG16 network trained for detection on PASCAL VOC 2007.

Download list

  1. VGG16 trained on ImageNet

  2. VGG16 - TFFRCNN (0.689 mAP on VOC07).

  3. VGG16 - TFFRCNN (0.748 mAP on VOC07)

  4. Resnet50 trained on ImageNet

  5. Resnet50 - TFFRCNN (0.712 mAP on VOC07)

  6. PVANet trained on ImageNet, converted from caffemodel

Training on Pascal VOC 2007

  1. Download the training, validation, test data and VOCdevkit

    wget http://host.robots.ox.ac.uk/pascal/VOC/voc2007/VOCtrainval_06-Nov-2007.tar
    wget http://host.robots.ox.ac.uk/pascal/VOC/voc2007/VOCtest_06-Nov-2007.tar
    wget http://host.robots.ox.ac.uk/pascal/VOC/voc2007/VOCdevkit_08-Jun-2007.tar
    
  2. Extract all of these tars into one directory named VOCdevkit

    tar xvf VOCtrainval_06-Nov-2007.tar
    tar xvf VOCtest_06-Nov-2007.tar
    tar xvf VOCdevkit_08-Jun-2007.tar
    
  3. It should have this basic structure

    $VOCdevkit/                           # development kit
    $VOCdevkit/VOCcode/                   # VOC utility code
    $VOCdevkit/VOC2007                    # image sets, annotations, etc.
    # ... and several other directories ...
    
  4. Create symlinks for the PASCAL VOC dataset

    cd $TFFRCNN/data
    ln -s $VOCdevkit VOCdevkit2007
    
  5. Download pre-trained model VGG16 and put it in the path ./data/pretrain_model/VGG_imagenet.npy

  6. Run training scripts

    cd $TFFRCNN
    python ./faster_rcnn/train_net.py --gpu 0 --weights ./data/pretrain_model/VGG_imagenet.npy --imdb voc_2007_trainval --iters 70000 --cfg  ./experiments/cfgs/faster_rcnn_end2end.yml --network VGGnet_train --set EXP_DIR exp_dir
    
  7. Run a profiling

    cd $TFFRCNN
    # install a visualization tool
    sudo apt-get install graphviz  
    ./experiments/profiling/run_profiling.sh 
    # generate an image ./experiments/profiling/profile.png
    

Training on KITTI detection dataset

  1. Download the KITTI detection dataset

    http://www.cvlibs.net/datasets/kitti/eval_object.php
    
  2. Extract all of these tar into ./TFFRCNN/data/ and the directory structure looks like this:

    KITTI
        |-- training
                |-- image_2
                    |-- [000000-007480].png
                |-- label_2
                    |-- [000000-007480].txt
        |-- testing
                |-- image_2
                    |-- [000000-007517].png
                |-- label_2
                    |-- [000000-007517].txt
    
  3. Convert KITTI into Pascal VOC format

    cd $TFFRCNN
    ./experiments/scripts/kitti2pascalvoc.py \
    --kitti $TFFRCNN/data/KITTI --out $TFFRCNN/data/KITTIVOC
    
  4. The output directory looks like this:

    KITTIVOC
        |-- Annotations
                |-- [000000-007480].xml
        |-- ImageSets
                |-- Main
                    |-- [train|val|trainval].txt
        |-- JPEGImages
                |-- [000000-007480].jpg
    
  5. Training on KITTIVOC is just like on Pascal VOC 2007

    python ./faster_rcnn/train_net.py \
    --gpu 0 \
    --weights ./data/pretrain_model/VGG_imagenet.npy \
    --imdb kittivoc_train \
    --iters 160000 \
    --cfg ./experiments/cfgs/faster_rcnn_kitti.yml \
    --network VGGnet_train
