SOLO是一种直接预测instance mask的范式，摒弃了之前top-down和bottom-up两种主流的实例分割方法，从而pipeline更加简洁直观。这篇文章以官方代码中的demo为例，简单梳理一下SOLO在inference时的流程。整个代码基于mmdetection。
首先是demo.inference_demo.py
config_file = '../configs/solo/decoupled_solo_r50_fpn_8gpu_3x.py'
# download the checkpoint from model zoo and put it in `checkpoints/`
checkpoint_file = '../checkpoints/DECOUPLED_SOLO_R50_3x.pth'
# build the model from a config file and a checkpoint file
model = init_detector(config_file, checkpoint_file, device='cuda:0')
# test a single image
img = 'demo.jpg'
result = inference_detector(model, img)
show_result_ins(img, result, model.CLASSES, score_thr=0.25, out_file="demo_out.jpg")
上述代码很简单，init_detector创建model，inference_detector做正向inference，并且show出最后的result。核心在于init_detector和inference_detector。这两个function存在于mmdet.apis中，下面看下这个模块：
mmdet.apis.inferece.py
def init_detector(config, checkpoint=None, device='cuda:0'):
"""Initialize a detector from config file.
Args:
config (str or :obj:`mmcv.Config`): Config file path or the config
object.
checkpoint (str, optional): Checkpoint path. If left as None, the model
will not load any weights.
Returns:
nn.Module: The constructed detector.
"""
if isinstance(config, str):
config = mmcv.Config.fromfile(config)
elif not isinstance(config, mmcv.Config):
raise TypeError('config must be a filename or Config object, '
'but got {}'.format(type(config)))
config.model.pretrained = None
model = build_detector(config.model, test_cfg=config.test_cfg)
if checkpoint is not None:
checkpoint = load_checkpoint(model, checkpoint)
if 'CLASSES' in checkpoint['meta']:
model.CLASSES = checkpoint['meta']['CLASSES']
else:
warnings.warn('Class names are not saved in the checkpoint\'s '
'meta data, use COCO classes by default.')
model.CLASSES = get_classes('coco')
model.cfg = config # save the config in the model for convenience
model.to(device)
model.eval()
return model
def inference_detector(model, img):
"""Inference image(s) with the detector.
Args:
model (nn.Module): The loaded detector.
imgs (str/ndarray or list[str/ndarray]): Either image files or loaded
images.
Returns:
If imgs is a str, a generator will be returned, otherwise return the
detection results directly.
"""
cfg = model.cfg
device = next(model.parameters()).device # model device
# build the data pipeline
test_pipeline = [LoadImage()] + cfg.data.test.pipeline[1:]
test_pipeline = Compose(test_pipeline)
# prepare data
data = dict(img=img)
data = test_pipeline(data)
data = scatter(collate([data], samples_per_gpu=1), [device])[0]
# forward the model
with torch.no_grad():
result = model(return_loss=False, rescale=True, **data)
return result
对于init_detector，其核心函数是build_detector，根据config文件信息创建模型，并将checkpoint加载进来；而inference_detector更简单了，首先做一系列augmentation，然后调用model做inference即可。
那么接下来仍然是两个分支，build_detector是如何创建模型的，以及该模型如何做inference，分开来说。
build_detector
build_detector方法存在于mmdet.model.builder.py：
from mmdet.utils import build_from_cfg
from .registry import (BACKBONES, DETECTORS, HEADS, LOSSES, NECKS,
ROI_EXTRACTORS, SHARED_HEADS)
def build(cfg, registry, default_args=None):
if isinstance(cfg, list):
modules = [
build_from_cfg(cfg_, registry, default_args) for cfg_ in cfg
]
return nn.Sequential(*modules)
else:
return build_from_cfg(cfg, registry, default_args)
def build_backbone(cfg):
return build(cfg, BACKBONES)
def build_neck(cfg):
return build(cfg, NECKS)
def build_roi_extractor(cfg):
return build(cfg, ROI_EXTRACTORS)
def build_shared_head(cfg):
return build(cfg, SHARED_HEADS)
def build_head(cfg):
return build(cfg, HEADS)
def build_loss(cfg):
return build(cfg, LOSSES)
def build_detector(cfg, train_cfg=None, test_cfg=None):
return build(cfg, DETECTORS, dict(train_cfg=train_cfg, test_cfg=test_cfg))
build_detector方法又调用了build方法，而build方法中调用了build_from_cfg。注意：在调用build方法中传入了DETECTORS这个注册器（Registry，一个类，传入的参数该class的一个实例，每一个部分i.e. backbone，FPN etc. 都对应一个Registry实例），可以先理解为创建这些module以及分开进行管理。
接着看mmdet.utils.registry.py中的build_from_cfg：
def build_from_cfg(cfg, registry, default_args=None):
"""Build a module from config dict.
Args:
cfg (dict): Config dict. It should at least contain the key "type".
registry (:obj:`Registry`): The registry to search the type from.
default_args (dict, optional): Default initialization arguments.
Returns:
obj: The constructed object.
"""
assert isinstance(cfg, dict) and 'type' in cfg
assert isinstance(default_args, dict) or default_args is None
args = cfg.copy()
obj_type = args.pop('type')
if mmcv.is_str(obj_type):
obj_cls = registry.get(obj_type)
if obj_cls is None:
raise KeyError('{} is not in the {} registry'.format(
obj_type, registry.name))
elif inspect.isclass(obj_type):
obj_cls = obj_type
else:
raise TypeError('type must be a str or valid type, but got {}'.format(
type(obj_type)))
if default_args is not None:
for name, value in default_args.items():
args.setdefault(name, value)
return obj_cls(**args)
这里其实就是对注册器进行注册的部分，也就是说通过config中的字典来对模型进行搭建。obj_cls就是要创建的module，如SOLO，ResNet，FPN等等，只有某个注册器中有配置文件中存在的type时，才会对该注册器进行register，通过args中的dict得到相应的module。这里一开始obj_cls返回的是SOLO（可以refer下配置文件），所以我们要找到SOLO这个模型的文件：
mmdet.models.detectors.solo.py
@DETECTORS.register_module
class SOLO(SingleStageInsDetector):
def __init__(self,
backbone,
neck,
bbox_head,
train_cfg=None,
test_cfg=None,
pretrained=None):
super(SOLO, self).__init__(backbone, neck, bbox_head, None, train_cfg,
test_cfg, pretrained)
可见第一行用了一个装饰器，也就是说在创建SOLO实例的时候，首先就自动调用装饰器中的方法，并且把SOLO这个类作为参数，注册到注册器DETECTORS里面。而SOLO又是继承自SingleStageInsDetector，所以接下来重点是SingleStageInsDetector类：
mmdet.models.detectors.single_stage_ins.py
@DETECTORS.register_module
class SingleStageInsDetector(BaseDetector):
def __init__(self,
backbone,
neck=None,
bbox_head=None,
mask_feat_head=None,
train_cfg=None,
test_cfg=None,
pretrained=None):
super(SingleStageInsDetector, self).__init__()
self.backbone = builder.build_backbone(backbone)
if neck is not None:
self.neck = builder.build_neck(neck)
if mask_feat_head is not None:
self.mask_feat_head = builder.build_head(mask_feat_head)
self.bbox_head = builder.build_head(bbox_head)
self.train_cfg = train_cfg
self.test_cfg = test_cfg
self.init_weights(pretrained=pretrained)
上面是SingleStageInsDetector的核心代码，之前是将args作为参数传入作为这里的初始化。根据之前的config，依次创建模型的backbone，neck，bbox_head以及test_config（这里是inference），这些部分的创建又对应到builder中的函数，每一个module对应一个Registry，然后根据相应的config文件中的参数建立不同的module，最后都作为类内部变量，集中在这一个SingleStageInsDetector中。具体每一个module创建的代码就不贴了，无非是将args传递进去，根据现有的代码创建相应的模块。
至此模型的创建工作大致如此，下面来看Inference的过程。
Inference
SOLO类的forward继承自BaseDetector，其forward方法如下：
def forward_test(self, imgs, img_metas, **kwargs):
。。。。。。
if num_augs == 1:
return self.simple_test(imgs[0], img_metas[0], **kwargs)
else:
return self.aug_test(imgs, img_metas, **kwargs)
@auto_fp16(apply_to=('img', ))
def forward(self, img, img_meta, return_loss=True, **kwargs):
if return_loss:
return self.forward_train(img, img_meta, **kwargs)
else:
return self.forward_test(img, img_meta, **kwargs)
以单gpu为例，调用的是simple_test，这个函数在SingleStageInsDetector中被重写过，如下：
def extract_feat(self, img):
x = self.backbone(img)
if self.with_neck:
x = self.neck(x)
return x
def simple_test(self, img, img_meta, rescale=False):
x = self.extract_feat(img)
outs = self.bbox_head(x, eval=True)
if self.with_mask_feat_head:
mask_feat_pred = self.mask_feat_head(
x[self.mask_feat_head.
start_level:self.mask_feat_head.end_level + 1])
seg_inputs = outs + (mask_feat_pred, img_meta, self.test_cfg, rescale)
else:
seg_inputs = outs + (img_meta, self.test_cfg, rescale)
seg_result = self.bbox_head.get_seg(*seg_inputs)
return seg_result
这里Inference的顺序依次是backbone->neck->bbox_head，backbone为ResNet50，neck为FPN，bbox_head为(decoupled)solo_head。所以前面特征提取部分的代码很简单，就不做过多赘述。主要来看下bbox_head:
mmdet.models.anchor_heads.decoupled_solo_head.py

最后在demo中在Matrix NMS之后，选择的筛除阈值为0.05，这个值有点小导致很多有小目标的img筛出来100个，最后demo在展示结果的时候又采用了0.25的阈值，这里会不会有些矛盾。
清明过后补上训练部分的代码解读。
