MegReader

A project for research in text detection and recognition using PyTorch 1.2.

This project is originated from the research repo, which heavily relies on closed-source libraries, of CSG-Algorithm team of Megvii(https://megvii.com). We are in ongoing progress to transfer models into this repo gradually, released implementations are listed in Progress.

Highlights

  • Implementations of representative text detection and recognition methods.
  • An effective framework for conducting experiments: We use yaml files to configure experiments, making it convenient to take experiments.
  • Thorough logging features which make it easy to follow and analyze experimental results.
  • CPU/GPU compatible for training and inference.
  • Distributed training support.

Install

Requirements

pip install -r requirements.txt

  • Python3.7
  • PyTorch 1.2 and CUDA 10.0.
  • gcc 5.5(Important for compiling)

Compile cuda ops (If needed)

cd PATH_TO_OPS

python setup.py build_ext --inplace

ops may be used:

  • DeformableConvV2 assets/ops/dcn
  • CTC2DLoss ops/ctc_2d

Configuration(optional)

Edit configurations in config.py.

Training

See detailed options: python3 train.py --help

Datasets

We provide data loading implementation with annotation packed with json for quick start. Datasets used in our recognition experiments can be downloaded from onedrive.

Non-distributed

python3 train.py PATH_TO_EXPERIMENT.yaml --validate --visualize --name NAME_OF_EXPERIMENT

Following we provide some of configurations of the released recognition models:

  • CRNN: experiments/recognition/crnn.yaml
  • 2D CTC: experiments/recognition/res50-ppm-2d-ctc.yaml
  • Attention Decoder: experiments/recognition/fpn50-attention-decoder.yaml

Distributed(recommended for multi-gpu training)

python3 -m torch.distributed.launch --nproc_per_node=NUM_GPUS train.py PATH_TO_EXPERIMENT.yaml -d --validate

Evaluating

See detailed options: python3 eval.py --help.

Keeping ratio tesing is recommended: python3 eval.py PATH_TO_EXPERIMENT.yaml --resize_mode keep_ratio

Model zoo

Trained models are comming soon.
