NanoDet

Super fast and lightweight anchor-free object detection model. Real-time on mobile devices.

  • ⚡Super lightweight: Model file is only 1.8 mb.
  • ⚡Super fast: 97fps(10.23ms) on mobile ARM CPU.
  • 😎Training friendly: Much lower GPU memory cost than other models. Batch-size=80 is available on GTX1060 6G.
  • 😎Easy to deploy: Provide C++ implementation and Android demo based on ncnn inference framework.

Note:


NanoDet is a FCOS-style one-stage anchor-free object detection model which using ATSS for target sampling and using Generalized Focal Loss for classification and box regression. Please refer to these papers for more detail.

Demo

Android demo

android_demo

Android demo project is in demo_android_ncnn folder. Please refer to Android demo guide.

C++ demo

C++ demo based on ncnn is in demo_ncnn folder. Please refer to Cpp demo guide.

Python demo

First, install requirements and setup NanoDet following installation guide. Then download COCO pretrain weight from here👉COCO pretrain weight for torch>=1.6(Google Drive) | COCO pretrain weight for torch<=1.5(Google Drive).

  • Inference images
python demo/demo.py image --config CONFIG_PATH --model MODEL_PATH --path IMAGE_PATH
  • Inference video
python demo/demo.py video --config CONFIG_PATH --model MODEL_PATH --path VIDEO_PATH
  • Inference webcam
python demo/demo.py webcam --config CONFIG_PATH --model MODEL_PATH --camid YOUR_CAMERA_ID

Install

Requirements

  • Linux or MacOS
  • CUDA >= 10.0
  • Python >= 3.6
  • Pytorch >= 1.3
  • experimental support Windows (Notice: Windows not support distributed training before pytorch1.7)

Step

  1. Create a conda virtual environment and then activate it.
 conda create -n nanodet python=3.8 -y
 conda activate nanodet
  1. Install pytorch
conda install pytorch torchvision cudatoolkit=11.0 -c pytorch
  1. Install requirements
pip install Cython termcolor numpy tensorboard pycocotools matplotlib pyaml opencv-python tqdm
  1. Setup NanoDet
git clone https://github.com/RangiLyu/nanodet.git
cd nanodet
python setup.py develop

How to Train

  1. Prepare dataset

    Convert your dataset annotations to MS COCO format(COCO annotation format details).

  2. Prepare config file

    Copy and modify an example yml config file in config/ folder.

    Change save_path to where you want to save model.

    Change num_classes in model->arch->head.

    Change image path and annotation path in both data->train data->val.

    Set gpu, workers and batch size in device to fit your device.

    Set total_epochs, lr and lr_schedule according to your dataset and batchsize.

    If you want to modify network, data augmentation or other things, please refer to Config File Detail

  3. Start training

    For single GPU, run

    python tools/train.py CONFIG_PATH
    

    For multi-GPU, NanoDet using distributed training. (Notice: Windows not support distributed training before pytorch1.7) Please run

    python -m torch.distributed.launch --nproc_per_node=GPU_NUM --master_port 29501 tools/train.py CONFIG_PATH
    

How to Deploy

NanoDet provide C++ and Android demo based on ncnn library.

  1. Convert model

    To convert NanoDet pytorch model to ncnn, you can choose this way: pytorch->onnx->ncnn

    To export onnx model, run tools/export.py. Then using onnx-simplifier to simplify onnx structure.

    Run onnx2ncnn in ncnn tools to generate ncnn .param and .bin file.

    After that, using ncnnoptimize to optimize ncnn model.

    If you have quentions about converting ncnn model, refer to ncnn wiki. https://github.com/Tencent/ncnn/wiki

  2. Run NanoDet model with C++

    Please refer to demo_ncnn.

  3. Run NanoDet on Android

    Please refer to android_demo.
