如何使用mmdetection训练自己的数据可以参考这篇文章https://blog.csdn.net/weicao1990/article/details/93484603，在这篇文章中只是用训练集进行训练，没有用到验证集验证模型的指标，因此这篇文章中将会讨论如何增加验证集，并且使用tensorboard可视化训练集与验证集的指标参数。

resume_from = None
workflow = [('train', 1)]其中配置文件中的workflow参数的含义是工作流，比如workflow = [('train', 1), ('val', 1)]表示按照训练一个epoch，接着再进行一个epoch的验证的策略迭代训练，如果workflow = [('train', 1)]表示训练完一个epoch后接着进行下一个epoch的训练，期间不进行验证。因此，增加验证集需要配置workflow，比如我们期望训练完一个epoch后接着进行验证，从而可以评估当前模型在验证集上的效果，这样我们设置workflow = [('train', 1), ('val', 1)]。
仅仅修改了这里，训练完一个epoch接下来进行验证的时候会报如下错误：
这是因为，还缺少验证集pipline的配置，默认配置文件中是没有val_pipeline的配置的，我们需要参考train_pipeline的内容添加val_pipeline,在cascade_rcnn_hrnetv2p_w32_20e.py中的train_pipeline与test_pipeline之间添加val_pipeline的内容：
val_pipeline = [
dict(type='LoadImageFromFile'),
dict(type='LoadAnnotations', with_bbox=True),
dict(type='Resize', img_scale=(1333, 800), keep_ratio=True),
dict(type='RandomFlip', flip_ratio=0.5),
dict(type='Normalize', **img_norm_cfg),
dict(type='Pad', size_divisor=32),
dict(type='DefaultFormatBundle'),
dict(type='Collect', keys=['img', 'gt_bboxes', 'gt_labels']),
]可以看到val_pipeline的内容与train_pipline的内容是一样的。添加了val_pipeline后，还需要将cascade_rcnn_hrnetv2p_w32_20e.py中验证集的pipeline修改为刚才添加的val_pipeline,修改后如下：
data = dict(
imgs_per_gpu=2,
workers_per_gpu=2,
train=dict(
type=dataset_type,
ann_file=data_root + 'annotations/instances_train2017.json',
img_prefix=data_root + 'train2017/',
pipeline=train_pipeline),
val=dict(
type=dataset_type,
ann_file=data_root + 'annotations/instances_val2017.json',
img_prefix=data_root + 'val2017/',
pipeline=val_pipeline),
test=dict(
type=dataset_type,
ann_file=data_root + 'annotations/instances_val2017.json',
img_prefix=data_root + 'val2017/',
pipeline=test_pipeline))至此，验证集的添加工作就完成了。
接下来添加tensorboard的配置（要使用tensorboard进行可视化需要提前安装tensorboardx，执行sudo pip install tensorboardx即可安装），默认配置文件中是不开启tensorboard的配置的，只需要在log_config中的tensorboard注释取消即可，如下：
log_config = dict(
interval=1,
hooks=[
dict(type='TextLoggerHook'),
dict(type='TensorboardLoggerHook')
])至此，所有的配置已完成，修改后的完整的配置文件内容如下：

开启tensorboard，执行如下命令：
tensorboard --logdir=work_dirs/cascade_rcnn_hrnetv2p_w32/
开启成功可以看到如下现象：
我们可以通过浏览器访问http://localhost:6006/，便可以看到tensorboard的信息，但是通常我们训练是在服务器上进行的，可能不方便接显示器，无法通过服务器的浏览器对上述连接进行访问，因此需要端口转发将服务器上的6006端口转发到其它便于访问的主机上，一种简单的方式是通过ssh实现端口转发，在PC上开启命令行模式输入如下指令：
ssh -p 50000 -L 16006:127.0.0.1:6006 lhy@192.168.3.11接下来，在PC的浏览器上输入如下链接：
http://127.0.0.1:16006/如果一切正常，可以看到tensorboard的界面了：
左边一栏是训练集的指标，右边是验证集的指标。
另外，mmdetection会自动收集log信息，存储在work_dirs/cascade_rcnn_hrnetv2p_w32目录下，官方提供了tools/analyze_logs.py工具可以轻松的可视化日志信息，如可视化损失值并保存为pdf文件，执行如下命令：
python tools/analyze_logs.py plot_curve work_dirs/cascade_rcnn_hrnetv2p_w32/20191130_125701.log.json --keys loss --out losses.pdf结果图：
疑惑：在添加验证集训练时，只看到训练集的日志信息，看不到验证集的日志信息，mmdetection的日志存储目录下也只有训练集的日志信息没有验证集的日志信息，有哪位知悉原因望指教。
