# High quality, fast, modular reference implementation of SSD in PyTorch 1.0

This repository implements [SSD (Single Shot MultiBox Detector)](https://arxiv.org/abs/1512.02325). The implementation is heavily influenced by the projects [ssd.pytorch](https://github.com/amdegroot/ssd.pytorch), [pytorch-ssd](https://github.com/qfgaohao/pytorch-ssd) and [maskrcnn-benchmark](https://github.com/facebookresearch/maskrcnn-benchmark). This repository aims to be the code base for researches based on SSD.



Example SSD output (vgg_ssd300_voc0712).

## Highlights

- **PyTorch 1.0**: Support PyTorch 1.0 or higher.
- **Multi-GPU training and inference**: We use `DistributedDataParallel`, you can train or test with arbitrary GPU(s), the training schema will change accordingly.
- **Modular**: Add your own modules without pain. We abstract `backbone`,`Detector`, `BoxHead`, `BoxPredictor`, etc. You can replace every component with your own code without change the code base. For example, You can add [EfficientNet](https://github.com/lukemelas/EfficientNet-PyTorch) as backbone, just add `efficient_net.py` (ALREADY ADDED) and register it, specific it in the config file, It's done!
- **CPU support for inference**: runs on CPU in inference time.
- **Smooth and enjoyable training procedure**: we save the state of model, optimizer, scheduler, training iter, you can stop your training and resume training exactly from the save point without change your training `CMD`.
- **Batched inference**: can perform inference using multiple images per batch per GPU.
- **Evaluating during training**: eval you model every `eval_step` to check performance improving or not.
- **Metrics Visualization**: visualize metrics details in tensorboard, like AP, APl, APm and APs for COCO dataset or mAP and 20 categories' AP for VOC dataset.
- **Auto download**: load pre-trained weights from URL and cache it.
## Installation
### Requirements

1. Python3
1. PyTorch 1.0 or higher
1. yacs
1. [Vizer](https://github.com/lufficc/Vizer)
1. GCC >= 4.9
1. OpenCV

### Step-by-step installation

```bash
git clone https://github.com/lufficc/SSD.git
cd SSD
# Required packages: torch torchvision yacs tqdm opencv-python vizer
pip install -r requirements.txt

# Done! That's ALL! No BUILD! No bothering SETUP!

# It's recommended to install the latest release of torch and torchvision.
```

## Train

### Setting Up Datasets
#### Pascal VOC

For Pascal VOC dataset, make the folder structure like this:
```
VOC_ROOT
|__ VOC2007
|_ JPEGImages
|_ Annotations
|_ ImageSets
|_ SegmentationClass
|__ VOC2012
|_ JPEGImages
|_ Annotations
|_ ImageSets
|_ SegmentationClass
|__ ...
```
Where `VOC_ROOT` default is `datasets` folder in current project, you can create symlinks to `datasets` or `export VOC_ROOT="/path/to/voc_root"`.

#### COCO

For COCO dataset, make the folder structure like this:
```
COCO_ROOT
|__ annotations
|_ instances_valminusminival2014.json
|_ instances_minival2014.json
|_ instances_train2014.json
|_ instances_val2014.json
|_ ...
|__ train2014
|_ .jpg
|_ ...
|_ .jpg
|__ val2014
|_ .jpg
|_ ...
|_ .jpg
|__ ...
```
Where `COCO_ROOT` default is `datasets` folder in current project, you can create symlinks to `datasets` or `export COCO_ROOT="/path/to/coco_root"`.

### Single GPU training

```bash
# for example, train SSD300:
python train.py --config-file configs/vgg_ssd300_voc0712.yaml
```
### Multi-GPU training

```bash
# for example, train SSD300 with 4 GPUs:
export NGPUS=4
python -m torch.distributed.launch --nproc_per_node=$NGPUS train.py --config-file configs/vgg_ssd300_voc0712.yaml SOLVER.WARMUP_FACTOR 0.03333 SOLVER.WARMUP_ITERS 1000
```
The configuration files that I provide assume that we are running on single GPU. When changing number of GPUs, hyper-parameter (lr, max_iter, ...) will also changed according to this paper: [Accurate, Large Minibatch SGD: Training ImageNet in 1 Hour](https://arxiv.org/abs/1706.02677).

## Evaluate

### Single GPU evaluating

```bash
# for example, evaluate SSD300:
python test.py --config-file configs/vgg_ssd300_voc0712.yaml
```

### Multi-GPU evaluating

```bash
# for example, evaluate SSD300 with 4 GPUs:
export NGPUS=4
python -m torch.distributed.launch --nproc_per_node=$NGPUS test.py --config-file configs/vgg_ssd300_voc0712.yaml
```

## Demo

Predicting image in a folder is simple:
```bash
python demo.py --config-file configs/vgg_ssd300_voc0712.yaml --images_dir demo --ckpt https://github.com/lufficc/SSD/releases/download/1.2/vgg_ssd300_voc0712.pth
```
Then it will download and cache `vgg_ssd300_voc0712.pth` automatically and predicted images with boxes, scores and label names will saved to `demo/result` folder by default.

You will see a similar output:
