AutoMM Detection - Fast Finetune on COCO Format Dataset

https://automl-mm-bench.s3.amazonaws.com/object_detection/example_image/pothole144_gt.jpg

Fig. 1 Pothole Dataset

In this section, our goal is to fast finetune and evaluate a pretrained model on Pothole dataset in COCO format. Pothole is a single object, i.e. pothole, detection dataset, containing 665 images with bounding box annotations for the creation of detection models and can work as POC/POV for the maintenance of roads. See AutoMM Detection - Prepare Pascal VOC Dataset for how to prepare Pothole dataset.

To start, let’s import MultiModalPredictor:

from autogluon.multimodal import MultiModalPredictor

Make sure mmcv-full and mmdet are installed:

!mim install mmcv-full
!pip install mmdet

And also import some other packages that will be used in this tutorial:

import os
import time

from autogluon.core.utils.loaders import load_zip

We have the sample dataset ready in the cloud. Let’s download it:

zip_file = "https://automl-mm-bench.s3.amazonaws.com/object_detection/dataset/pothole.zip"
download_dir = "./pothole"

load_zip.unzip(zip_file, unzip_dir=download_dir)
data_dir = os.path.join(download_dir, "pothole")
train_path = os.path.join(data_dir, "Annotations", "usersplit_train_cocoformat.json")
val_path = os.path.join(data_dir, "Annotations", "usersplit_val_cocoformat.json")
test_path = os.path.join(data_dir, "Annotations", "usersplit_test_cocoformat.json")

While using COCO format dataset, the input is the json annotation file of the dataset split. In this example, usersplit_train_cocoformat.json is the annotation file of the train split. usersplit_val_cocoformat.json is the annotation file of the validation split. And usersplit_test_cocoformat.json is the annotation file of the test split.

We select the YOLOv3 with MobileNetV2 as backbone, and input resolution is 320x320, pretrained on COCO dataset. With this setting, it is fast to finetune or inference, and easy to deploy. And we use all the GPUs (if any):

checkpoint_name = "yolov3_mobilenetv2_320_300e_coco"
num_gpus = -1  # use all GPUs

We create the MultiModalPredictor with selected checkpoint name and number of GPUs. We need to specify the problem_type to "object_detection", and also provide a sample_data_path for the predictor to infer the catgories of the dataset. Here we provide the train_path, and it also works using any other split of this dataset.

predictor = MultiModalPredictor(
    hyperparameters={
        "model.mmdet_image.checkpoint_name": checkpoint_name,
        "env.num_gpus": num_gpus,
    },
    problem_type="object_detection",
    sample_data_path=train_path,
)

We set the learning rate to be 2e-4. Note that we use a two-stage
learning rate option during finetuning by default, and the model head
will have 100x learning rate. Using a two-stage learning rate with high
learning rate only on head layers makes the model converge faster during
finetuning. It usually gives better performance as well, especially on
small datasets with hundreds or thousands of images. We also set the
epoch to be 30 for fast finetuning and batch_size to be 32. We also
compute the time of the fit process here for better understanding the
speed.


import time
start = time.time()
predictor.fit(
    train_path,
    hyperparameters={
        "optimization.learning_rate": 2e-4, # we use two stage and detection head has 100x lr
        "optimization.max_epochs": 30,
        "env.per_gpu_batch_size": 32,  # decrease it when model is large
    },
)
end = time.time()

Under this fast finetune setting, we reached a good mAP number on a new
dataset with a few hundred seconds! For how to finetune with higher
performance, see AutoMM Detection - High Performance Finetune on COCO Format Dataset, where we
finetuned a VFNet model with 5 hours and reached
mAP = 0.450, mAP50 = 0.718 on this dataset.
