Keras implementation of RetinaNet object detection as described in Focal Loss for Dense Object Detection.
This code is borrowed from Keras Implementation of this model at https://github.com/fizyr/keras-retinanet and updated to run on Liza Alert Drone Dataset (LADD)
- Install:
- tensorflow >= 2.4.2
- setuptools
- opencv-python
- our keras-resnet fork:
pip install git+https://github.com/lacmus-foundation/keras-resnet.git
- Clone this repository.
- In the repository, execute
pip install .
. - To run the code directly from the cloned repository, you need to run
python setup.py build_ext --inplace
to compile Cython code first. - Optionally, install
pycocotools
if you want to train / test on the MS COCO dataset by runningpip install git+https://github.com/cocodataset/cocoapi.git#subdirectory=PythonAPI
.
First step is to create pre-trained backbone model using Standford Drone Dataset (SDD)
For training on a custom dataset, a CSV file can be used as a way to pass the data. See below for more details on the format of these CSV files.
To train using your CSV, run:
keras_retinanet/bin/train.py --weights snapshots/resnet50_coco_best_v2.1.0.h5 csv ../data/SDD-CSV/train_annotations.csv labels.csv --val-annotations ../data/SDD-CSV/val_annotations.csv
Here:
- --weights: Path to the weights for initializing training
- csv indicates retinanet is trained on a custom data set
- train_annotations.csv is path to training annotations
- labels.csv are the labels in the format class_name, class_id with 0 reserved for background class
- --val_annotations: Path to validation annotations
You can find the model resnet50_base_best.h5 trained this way in Assets here.
Second step is to train on LADD dataset and fine-tuning model
To train using your Pascal VOC, run:
keras_retinanet/bin/train.py --weights snapshots/resnet50_base_best.h5 --freeze-backbone --config config.ini pascal ../data/LADD
Running directly from RetinaNet
folder in the repository
Here:
- pascal indicates retinanet is trained on a dataset of Pascal VOC format
- --config config.ini: configuration file with anchor parameters
If your dataset is small, you can also use the --freeze-backbone argument
to freeze the backbone layers.
You can find more arguments directly in parse_args function of train.py file.
A model trained on a LADD dataset can be found here.
I uploaded the images used for training and validation to the yandex disk link below. Please download the same: https://yadi.sk/d/4Hz_1qpiNbHhpQ
The CSV file with annotations should contain one annotation per line. Images with multiple bounding boxes should use one row per bounding box. Note that indexing for pixel values starts at 0. The expected format of each line is:
path/to/image.jpg,x1,y1,x2,y2,class_name
Labels format
The class name to ID mapping file should contain one mapping per line. Each line should use the following format:
class_name,id
To calculate mean average precision on the validation set, please run
keras_retinanet/bin/evaluate.py csv val_annotations.csv labels.csv snapshots/resnet50_csv_31_interface.h5
or for Pascal VOC
keras_retinanet/bin/evaluate.py pascal ../data/LADD snapshots/resnet50_pascal_06.h5 --convert-model
Here we pass the val_annotations, labels and path to the trained weights.
Note: If you were using --config config.ini argument when training the model and pass option --convert-model when evaluating, you should provide the same configuaration file, otherwise you can encounter error "InvalidArgumentError: Incompatible shapes" like in this issue.
To run inference on the trained model, first step is to convert the trained model to a format that can be used by inference. The command for this is:
keras_retinanet/bin/convert_model.py snapshots/resnet50_pascal_08.h5 snapshots/resnet50_pascal_08_inference.h5
Here first path is the path to the trained model and the second would be the path to the converted inference model
I created two notebooks from the original code that can be used to run inference on images and on videos.
The notebooks are:
- RetinaNet/ResNet50RetinaNet-Image.ipynb : For inference on a batch of images
- RetinaNet/ResNet50RetinaNet-Video.ipynb : For inference on a video
