QPIC: Query-Based Pairwise Human-Object Interaction Detection with Image-Wide Contextual Information
by Masato Tamura, Hiroki Ohashi, and Tomoaki Yoshinaga.
This repository contains the official implementation of the paper "QPIC: Query-Based Pairwise Human-Object Interaction Detection with Image-Wide Contextual Information", which is accepted to CVPR2021.
<div align="center"> <img src=".github/overview.png" width="900px" /> </div>QPIC is implemented by extending the recently proposed object detector, DETR. QPIC leverages the query-based detection and attention mechanism in the transformer, and as a result, achieves high HOI detection performance with simple detection heads.

Dependencies
Our implementation uses external libraries such as NumPy and PyTorch. You can resolve the dependencies with the following command.
pip install numpy
pip install -r requirements.txt
Note that this command may dump errors during installing pycocotools, but the errors can be ignored.
Dataset
HICO-DET
HICO-DET dataset can be downloaded here. After finishing downloading, unpack the tarball (hico_20160224_det.tar.gz
) to the data
directory.
Instead of using the original annotations files, we use the annotation files provided by the PPDM authors. The annotation files can be downloaded from here. The downloaded annotation files have to be placed as follows.
qpic
|─ data
│ └─ hico_20160224_det
| |─ annotations
| | |─ trainval_hico.json
| | |─ test_hico.json
| | └─ corre_hico.npy
: :
V-COCO
First clone the repository of V-COCO from here, and then follow the instruction to generate the file instances_vcoco_all_2014.json
. Next, download the prior file prior.pickle
from here. Place the files and make directories as follows.
qpic
|─ data
│ └─ v-coco
| |─ data
| | |─ instances_vcoco_all_2014.json
| | :
| |─ prior.pickle
| |─ images
| | |─ train2014
| | | |─ COCO_train2014_000000000009.jpg
| | | :
| | └─ val2014
| | |─ COCO_val2014_000000000042.jpg
| | :
| |─ annotations

For our implementation, the annotation file have to be converted to the HOIA format. The conversion can be conducted as follows.
PYTHONPATH=data/v-coco \
python convert_vcoco_annotations.py \
--load_path data/v-coco/data \
--prior_path data/v-coco/prior.pickle \
--save_path data/v-coco/annotations
Note that only Python2 can be used for this conversion because vsrl_utils.py
in the v-coco repository shows a error with Python3.
V-COCO annotations with the HOIA format, corre_vcoco.npy
, test_vcoco.json
, and trainval_vcoco.json
will be generated to annotations
directory.
Pre-trained parameters
Our QPIC have to be pre-trained with the COCO object detection dataset. For the HICO-DET training, this pre-training can be omitted by using the parameters of DETR. The parameters can be downloaded from here for the ResNet50 backbone, and here for the ResNet101 backbone. For the V-COCO training, this pre-training has to be carried out because some images of the V-COCO evaluation set are contained in the training set of DETR. You have to pre-train QPIC without those overlapping images by yourself for the V-COCO evaluation.
For HICO-DET, move the downloaded parameters to the params
directory and convert the parameters with the following command.
python convert_parameters.py \
--load_path params/detr-r50-e632da11.pth \
--save_path params/detr-r50-pre-hico.pth
For V-COCO, convert the pre-trained parameters with the following command.
python convert_parameters.py \
--load_path logs/checkpoint.pth \
--save_path params/detr-r50-pre-vcoco.pth \
--dataset vcoco
Trained parameters
The trained parameters are available here.
Training
After the preparation, you can start the training with the following command.
For the HICO-DET training.
python main.py \
--pretrained params/detr-r50-pre-hico.pth \
--output_dir logs \
--hoi \
--dataset_file hico \
--hoi_path data/hico_20160224_det \
--num_obj_classes 80 \
--num_verb_classes 117 \
--backbone resnet50 \
--set_cost_bbox 2.5 \
--set_cost_giou 1 \
--bbox_loss_coef 2.5 \
--giou_loss_coef 1
For the V-COCO training.
python main.py \
--pretrained params/detr-r50-pre-vcoco.pth \
--output_dir logs \
--hoi \
--dataset_file vcoco \
--hoi_path data/v-coco \
--num_obj_classes 81 \
--num_verb_classes 29 \
--backbone resnet50 \
--set_cost_bbox 2.5 \
--set_cost_giou 1 \
--bbox_loss_coef 2.5 \
--giou_loss_coef 1
Note that the number of object classes is 81 because one class is added for missing object.
If you have multiple GPUs on your machine, you can utilize them to speed up the training. The number of GPUs is specified with the --nproc_per_node
option. The following command starts the training with 8 GPUs for the HICO-DET training.
python -m torch.distributed.launch \
--nproc_per_node=8 \
--use_env \
main.py \
--pretrained params/detr-r50-pre-hico.pth \
--output_dir logs \
--hoi \
--dataset_file hico \
--hoi_path data/hico_20160224_det \
--num_obj_classes 80 \
--num_verb_classes 117 \
--backbone resnet50 \
--set_cost_bbox 2.5 \
--set_cost_giou 1 \
--bbox_loss_coef 2.5 \
--giou_loss_coef 1
Evaluation
The evaluation is conducted at the end of each epoch during the training. The results are written in logs/log.txt
like below:
"test_mAP": 0.29061250833779456, "test_mAP rare": 0.21910348492395765, "test_mAP non-rare": 0.31197234650036926
test_mAP
, test_mAP rare
, and test_mAP non-rare
are the results of the default full, rare, and non-rare setting, respectively.
You can also conduct the evaluation with trained parameters as follows.
python main.py \
--pretrained qpic_resnet50_hico.pth \
--hoi \
--dataset_file hico \
--hoi_path data/hico_20160224_det \
--num_obj_classes 80 \
--num_verb_classes 117 \
--backbone resnet50 \
--eval
For the official evaluation of V-COCO, a pickle file of detection results have to be generated. You can generate the file as follows.
python generate_vcoco_official.py \
--param_path logs/checkpoint.pth \
--save_path vcoco.pickle \
--hoi_path data/v-coco
