Training

You need to generate tfrecord following the TensorFlow Object Detection API. For example you can use Microsoft VOTT to generate such dataset. You can also use this script to create the pascal voc dataset.

python train.py --batch_size 8 --dataset ~/Data/voc2012.tfrecord --val_dataset ~/Data/voc2012_val.tfrecord --epochs 100 --mode eager_tf --transfer fine_tune

python train.py --batch_size 8 --dataset ~/Data/voc2012.tfrecord --val_dataset ~/Data/voc2012_val.tfrecord --epochs 100 --mode fit --transfer none

python train.py --batch_size 8 --dataset ~/Data/voc2012.tfrecord --val_dataset ~/Data/voc2012_val.tfrecord --epochs 100 --mode fit --transfer no_output

python train.py --batch_size 8 --dataset ~/Data/voc2012.tfrecord --val_dataset ~/Data/voc2012_val.tfrecord --epochs 10 --mode eager_fit --transfer fine_tune --weights ./checkpoints/yolov3-tiny.tf --tiny

Tensorflow Serving

You can export the model to tf serving

python export_tfserving.py --output serving/yolov3/1/
# verify tfserving graph
saved_model_cli show --dir serving/yolov3/1/ --tag_set serve --signature_def serving_default

The inputs are preprocessed images (see dataset.transform_iamges)

outputs are

yolo_nms_0: bounding boxes
yolo_nms_1: scores
yolo_nms_2: classes
yolo_nms_3: numbers of valid detections

Benchmark (No Training Yet)

Numbers are obtained with rough calculations from detect_video.py

Macbook Pro 13 (2.7GHz i5)

Detection 416x416 320x320 608x608
YoloV3 1000ms 500ms 1546ms
YoloV3-Tiny 100ms 58ms 208ms

Desktop PC (GTX 970)

Detection 416x416 320x320 608x608
YoloV3 74ms 57ms 129ms
YoloV3-Tiny 18ms 15ms 28ms

AWS g3.4xlarge (Tesla M60)

Detection 416x416 320x320 608x608
YoloV3 66ms 50ms 123ms
YoloV3-Tiny 15ms 10ms 24ms

RTX 2070 (credit to @AnaRhisT94)

Detection 416x416
YoloV3 predict_on_batch 29-32ms
YoloV3 predict_on_batch + TensorRT 22-28ms

Darknet version of YoloV3 at 416x416 takes 29ms on Titan X. Considering Titan X has about double the benchmark of Tesla M60, Performance-wise this implementation is pretty comparable.

Implementation Details

Eager execution

Great addition for existing TensorFlow experts. Not very easy to use without some intermediate understanding of TensorFlow graphs. It is annoying when you accidentally use incompatible features like tensor.shape[0] or some sort of python control flow that works fine in eager mode, but totally breaks down when you try to compile the model to graph.

model(x) vs. model.predict(x)

When calling model(x) directly, we are executing the graph in eager mode. For model.predict, tf actually compiles the graph on the first run and then execute in graph mode. So if you are only running the model once, model(x) is faster since there is no compilation needed. Otherwise, model.predict or using exported SavedModel graph is much faster (by 2x). For non real-time usage, model.predict_on_batch is even faster as tested by @AnaRhisT94)

GradientTape

Extremely useful for debugging purpose, you can set breakpoints anywhere. You can compile all the keras fitting functionalities with gradient tape using the run_eagerly argument in model.compile. From my limited testing, all training methods including GradientTape, keras.fit, eager or not yeilds similar performance. But graph mode is still preferred since it's a tiny bit more efficient.

@tf.function

@tf.function is very cool. It's like an in-between version of eager and graph. You can step through the function by disabling tf.function and then gain performance when you enable it in production. Important note, you should not pass any non-tensor parameter to @tf.function, it will cause re-compilation on every call. I am not sure whats the best way other than using globals.

absl.py (abseil)

Absolutely amazing. If you don't know already, absl.py is officially used by internal projects at Google. It standardizes application interface for Python and many other languages. After using it within Google, I was so excited to hear abseil going open source. It includes many decades of best practices learned from creating large size scalable applications. I literally have nothing bad to say about it, strongly recommend absl.py to everybody.

Loading pre-trained Darknet weights

very hard with pure functional API because the layer ordering is different in tf.keras and darknet. The clean solution here is creating sub-models in keras. Keras is not able to save nested model in h5 format properly, TF Checkpoint is recommended since its offically supported by TensorFlow.

tf.keras.layers.BatchNormalization

It doesn't work very well for transfer learning. There are many articles and github issues all over the internet. I used a simple hack to make it work nicer on transfer learning with small batches.

What is the output of transform_targets ???

I know it's very confusion but the output is tuple of shape

(
  [N, 13, 13, 3, 6],
  [N, 26, 26, 3, 6],
  [N, 52, 52, 3, 6]
)

where N is the number of labels in batch and the last dimension "6" represents [x, y, w, h, obj, class] of the bounding boxes.

IOU and Score Threshold

the default threshold is 0.5 for both IOU and score, you can adjust them according to your need by setting --yolo_iou_threshold and --yolo_score_threshold flags

NAN Loss / Training Failed / Doesn't Converge

Many people including me have succeeded in training, so the code definitely works @LongxingTan in zzh8829#128 provided some of his insights summarized here:

  1. For nan loss, try to make learning rate smaller
  2. Double check the format of your input data. Data input labelled by vott and labelImg is different. so make sure the input box is the right, and check carefully the format is x1/width,y1/height,x2/width,y2/height and NOT x1,y1,x2,y2, or x,y,w,h

Change Log

October 1, 2019

  • Updated to Tensorflow to v2.0.0 Release

References

It is pretty much impossible to implement this from the yolov3 paper alone. I had to reference the official (very hard to understand) and many un-official (many minor errors) repos to piece together the complete picture.
