Multi-GPU training (better): SAVE_WEIGHTS_INTE = iter_epoch * 2

My Development Environment

python3.5 (anaconda recommend)
cuda 10.0
opencv-python 4.1.1.26 (important)
tfplot 0.2.0 (optional)
tensorflow-gpu 1.13
tqdm 4.54.0

Installation

Manual configuration (cuda version < 11)

pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install -v -e .  # or "python setup.py develop"

Or, you can simply install AlphaRotate with the following command:

pip install alpharotate  # Not suitable for dev.

Docker (cuda version < 11)

docker images: yangxue2docker/yx-tf-det:tensorflow1.13.1-cuda10-gpu-py3

Note: For 30xx series graphics cards (cuda version >= 11), I recommend this blog to install tf1.xx, or download image from tensorflow-release-notes according to your development environment, e.g. nvcr.io/nvidia/tensorflow:20.11-tf1-py3

cd alpharotate/libs/utils/cython_utils
rm *.so
rm *.c
rm *.cpp
python setup.py build_ext --inplace (or make)

cd alpharotate/libs/utils/
rm *.so
rm *.c
rm *.cpp
python setup.py build_ext --inplace

Pretrain weights

Download a pretrain weight you need from the following three options, and then put it to $PATH_ROOT/dataloader/pretrained_weights.

MxNet pretrain weights (recommend in this repo, default in NET_NAME): resnet_v1d, resnet_v1b, refer to gluon2TF.

Baidu Drive (5ht9)

Trained weights

Please download trained models by this project, then put them to $PATH_ROOT/output/pretained_weights.

Train

If you want to train your own dataset, please note:

(1) Select the detector and dataset you want to use, and mark them as #DETECTOR and #DATASET (such as #DETECTOR=retinanet and #DATASET=DOTA)
(2) Modify parameters (such as CLASS_NUM, DATASET_NAME, VERSION, etc.) in $PATH_ROO./configs/#DATASET/#DETECTOR/cfgs_xxx.py
(3) Copy $PATH_ROO./configs/#DATASET/#DETECTOR/cfgs_xxx.py to $PATH_ROO./configs/cfgs.py
(4) Add category information in $PATH_ROOT/libs/label_name_dict/label_dict.py     
(5) Add data_name to $PATH_ROOT/dataloader/dataset/read_tfrecord.py

Make tfrecord
If image is very large (such as DOTA dataset), the image needs to be cropped. Take DOTA dataset as a example:

cd $PATH_ROOT/dataloader/dataset/DOTA
python data_crop.py

If image does not need to be cropped, just convert the annotation file into xml format, refer to example.xml.

cd $PATH_ROOT/dataloader/dataset/  
python convert_data_to_tfrecord.py --root_dir='/PATH/TO/DOTA/' 
                                   --xml_dir='labeltxt'
                                   --image_dir='images'
                                   --save_name='train' 
                                   --img_format='.png' 
                                   --dataset='DOTA'

Start training

cd $PATH_ROOT/tools/#DETECTOR
python train.py

Test

For large-scale image, take DOTA dataset as a example (the output file or visualization is in $PATH_ROOT/tools/#DETECTOR/test_dota/VERSION):

cd $PATH_ROOT/tools/#DETECTOR
python test_dota.py --test_dir='/PATH/TO/IMAGES/'  
                    --gpus=0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7  
                    -ms (multi-scale testing, optional)
                    -s (visualization, optional)

or (recommend in this repo, better than multi-scale testing)

python test_dota_sota.py --test_dir='/PATH/TO/IMAGES/'  
                         --gpus=0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7  
                         -s (visualization, optional)

Notice: In order to set the breakpoint conveniently, the read and write mode of the file is' a+'. If the model of the same #VERSION needs to be tested again, the original test results need to be deleted.

For small-scale image, take HRSC2016 dataset as a example:

cd $PATH_ROOT/tools/#DETECTOR
python test_hrsc2016.py --test_dir='/PATH/TO/IMAGES/'  
                        --gpu=0
                        --image_ext='bmp'
                        --test_annotation_path='/PATH/TO/ANNOTATIONS'
                        -s (visualization, optional)
