The Equalization Losses for Long-tailed Object Detection and Instance Segmentation

This repo is official implementation CVPR 2021 paper: Equalization Loss v2: A New Gradient Balance Approach for Long-tailed Object Detection and CVPR 2020 paper: Equalization loss for long-tailed object recognition

Besides the equalization losses, this repo also includes some other algorithms:

BAGS (Balance GroupSoftmax)
cRT (classifier re-training)
LWS (Learnable Weight Scaling)

Requirements

python 3.6+
pytorch 1.5.0
torchvision 0.6.0
mmdet 2.3
mmcv 1.0.5

We test our codes on MMDetection V2.3, other versions should also be ok.

Prepare LVIS Dataset

for images

LVIS uses same images as COCO's, so you need to donwload COCO dataset at folder ($COCO), and link those train, val under folder lvis($LVIS).

mkdir -p data/lvis
ln -s $COCO/train $LVIS
ln -s $COCO/val $LVIS
ln -s $COCO/test $LVIS

for annotations

Download the annotations from lvis webset

cd $LVIS
mkdir annotations

then places the annotations at folder ($LVIS/annotations)

Finally you will have the file structure like below:

data
  ├── lvis
  |   ├── annotations
  │   │   │   ├── lvis_v1_val.json
  │   │   │   ├── lvis_v1_train.json
  │   ├── train2017
  │   │   ├── 000000004134.png
  │   │   ├── 000000031817.png
  │   │   ├── ......
  │   ├── val2017
  │   ├── test2017

for API

The official lvis-api and mmlvis can lead to some bugs of multiprocess. See issue

So you can install this LVIS API from my modified repo.

pip install git+https://github.com/tztztztztz/lvis-api.git

Testing with pretrain_models

# ./tools/dist_test.sh ${CONFIG} ${CHECKPOINT} ${GPU_NUM} [--out ${RESULT_FILE}] [--eval ${EVAL_METRICS}]
./tools/dist_test.sh configs/eqlv2/eql_r50_8x2_1x.py data/pretrain_models/eql_r50_8x2_1x.pth 8 --out results.pkl --eval bbox segm

Training

# ./tools/dist_train.sh ${CONFIG} ${GPU_NUM}
./tools/dist_train.sh ./configs/end2end/eql_r50_8x2_1x.py 8

Once you finished the training, you will get the evaluation metric like this:

How to train decouple training methods.

Train the baseline model (or EQL v2).
Prepare the pretrained checkpoint

  # suppose you've trained baseline model
  cd r50_1x
  python ../tools/ckpt_surgery.py --ckpt-path epoch_12.pth --method remove
  # if you want to train LWS, you should choose method 'reset'

Start training with configs

  # ./tools/dist_train.sh ./configs/decouple/bags_r50_8x2_1x.py 8
  # ./tools/dist_train.sh ./configs/decouple/lws_r50_8x2_1x.py 8
  ./tools/dist_train.sh ./configs/decouple/crt_r50_8x2_1x.py 8

How to train EQLv2 on OpenImages

1. Download the data

Download openimages v5 images from link, The folder will be

openimages
    ├── train
    ├── validation
    ├── test

Download the annotations for Challenge 2019 from link, The folder will be

annotations
    ├── challenge-2019-classes-description-500.csv
    ├── challenge-2019-train-detection-human-imagelabels.csv
    ├── challenge-2019-train-detection-bbox.csv
    ├── challenge-2019-validation-detection-bbox.csv
    ├── challenge-2019-validation-detection-human-imagelabels.csv
    ├── ...

2. Convert the `.csv` to coco-like `.json` file.

cd tools/openimages2coco/
python convert_annotations.py -p PATH_TO_OPENIMAGES --version challenge_2019 --task bbox

You may need to donwload the data directory from https://github.com/bethgelab/openimages2coco/tree/master/data and place it at $project_dir/tools/openimages2coco/

3. Train models

  ./tools/dist_train.sh ./configs/openimages/eqlv2_r50_fpn_8x2_2x.py 8

Other configs can be found at ./configs/openimages/

4. Inference and output the json results file

./tools/dist_test.sh ./configs/openimages/eqlv2_r50_fpn_8x2_2x.py openimage_eqlv2_2x/epoch_1.pth 8 --format-only --options "jsonfile_prefix=openimage_eqlv2_2x/results""

Then you will get results.bbox.json under folder openimage_eqlv2

5. Convert `coco-like json` result file to `openimage-like csv` results file

cd $project_dir/tools/openimages2coco/
python convert_predictions.py -p ../../openimage_eqlv2/results.bbox.json --subset validation

Then you will get results.bbox.csv under folder openimage_eqlv2

6. Evaluate results file using official API

Please refer this link

After this, you will see something like this.

7. Parse the AP file and output the grouped AP

cd $project_dir

PYTHONPATH=./:$PYTHONPATH python tools/parse_openimage_metric.py --file openimage_eqlv2_2x/metric

And you will get:

mAP0: 0.4857693606436219
mAP1: 0.52047262478471
