AutoMM Detection - Quick Start on a Tiny COCO Format Dataset#

Open In Colab Open In SageMaker Studio Lab

In this section, our goal is to fast finetune a pretrained model on a small dataset in COCO format, and evaluate on its test set. Both training and test sets are in COCO format. See Convert Data to COCO Format for how to convert other datasets to COCO format.

Setting up the imports#

To start, let’s import MultiModalPredictor:

from autogluon.multimodal import MultiModalPredictor

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

Downloading Data#

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/tiny_motorbike_coco.zip"
download_dir = "./tiny_motorbike_coco"

load_zip.unzip(zip_file, unzip_dir=download_dir)
data_dir = os.path.join(download_dir, "tiny_motorbike")
train_path = os.path.join(data_dir, "Annotations", "trainval_cocoformat.json")
test_path = os.path.join(data_dir, "Annotations", "test_cocoformat.json")

100%|██████████| 21.8M/21.8M [00:00<00:00, 63.0MiB/s]

While using COCO format dataset, the input is the json annotation file of the dataset split. In this example, trainval_cocoformat.json is the annotation file of the train-and-validate split, and test_cocoformat.json is the annotation file of the test split.

Creating the MultiModalPredictor#

We select the "medium_quality" presets, which uses a YOLOX-small model pretrained on COCO dataset. This preset is fast to finetune or inference, and easy to deploy. We also provide presets "high_quality" and "best quality", with higher performance but also slower.

presets = "medium_quality"

We create the MultiModalPredictor with selected presets. 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. And we also provide a path to save the predictor. It will be saved to a automatically generated directory with timestamp under AutogluonModels if path is not specified.

# Init predictor
import uuid

model_path = f"./tmp/{uuid.uuid4().hex}-quick_start_tutorial_temp_save"

predictor = MultiModalPredictor(
    problem_type="object_detection",
    sample_data_path=train_path,
    presets=presets,
    path=model_path,
)

Finetuning the Model#

Learning rate, number of epochs, and batch_size are included in the presets, and thus no need to specify. 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 compute the time of the fit process here for better understanding the speed. We run it on a g4.2xlarge EC2 machine on AWS, and part of the command outputs are shown below:

start = time.time()
predictor.fit(train_path)  # Fit
train_end = time.time()

AutoMM starts to create your model. ✨

- Model will be saved to "/home/ci/autogluon/docs/tutorials/multimodal/object_detection/quick_start/tmp/598c01c170d94d7ea99bcda2bc1092d0-quick_start_tutorial_temp_save".

- Validation metric is "map".

- To track the learning progress, you can open a terminal and launch Tensorboard:
    ```shell
    # Assume you have installed tensorboard
    tensorboard --logdir /home/ci/autogluon/docs/tutorials/multimodal/object_detection/quick_start/tmp/598c01c170d94d7ea99bcda2bc1092d0-quick_start_tutorial_temp_save

AutoMM has created your model 🎉🎉🎉

- To load the model, use the code below:
    ```python
    from autogluon.multimodal import MultiModalPredictor
    predictor = MultiModalPredictor.load("/home/ci/autogluon/docs/tutorials/multimodal/object_detection/quick_start/tmp/598c01c170d94d7ea99bcda2bc1092d0-quick_start_tutorial_temp_save")
    ```

- You can open a terminal and launch Tensorboard to visualize the training log:
    ```shell
    # Assume you have installed tensorboard
    tensorboard --logdir /home/ci/autogluon/docs/tutorials/multimodal/object_detection/quick_start/tmp/598c01c170d94d7ea99bcda2bc1092d0-quick_start_tutorial_temp_save
    ```

- If you are not satisfied with the model, try to increase the training time, 
adjust the hyperparameters (https://auto.gluon.ai/stable/tutorials/multimodal/advanced_topics/customization.html),
or post issues on GitHub: https://github.com/autogluon/autogluon

Notice that at the end of each progress bar, if the checkpoint at current stage is saved, it prints the model’s save path. In this example, it’s ./quick_start_tutorial_temp_save.

Print out the time and we can see that it’s fast!

print("This finetuning takes %.2f seconds." % (train_end - start))

This finetuning takes 121.92 seconds.

Evaluation#

To evaluate the model we just trained, run following code.

And the evaluation results are shown in command line output. The first line is mAP in COCO standard, and the second line is mAP in VOC standard (or mAP50). For more details about these metrics, see COCO’s evaluation guideline. Note that for presenting a fast finetuning we use presets “medium_quality”, you could get better result on this dataset by simply using “high_quality” or “best_quality” presets, or customize your own model and hyperparameter settings: Customization, and some other examples at Fast Fine-tune Coco or High Performance Fine-tune Coco.

The evaluation takes 1.18 seconds.

We can load a new predictor with previous save_path, and we can also reset the number of GPUs to use if not all the devices are available:

# Load and reset num_gpus
new_predictor = MultiModalPredictor.load(model_path)
new_predictor.set_num_gpus(1)

Inference#

Now that we have gone through the model setup, finetuning, and evaluation, this section details the inference. Specifically, we layout the steps for using the model to make predictions and visualize the results.

To run inference on the entire test set, perform:

pred = predictor.predict(test_path)
print(pred)

Using default root folder: ./tiny_motorbike_coco/tiny_motorbike/Annotations/... Specify `root=...` if you feel it is wrong...

The output pred is a pandas DataFrame that has two columns, image and bboxes.

In image, each row contains the image path

In bboxes, each row is a list of dictionaries, each one representing a bounding box: {"class": <predicted_class_name>, "bbox": [x1, y1, x2, y2], "score": <confidence_score>}

Note that, by default, the predictor.predict does not save the detection results into a file.

To run inference and save results, run the following:

pred = predictor.predict(test_path, save_results=True)

A new predictor save path is created.This is to prevent you to overwrite previous predictor saved here.You could check current save path at predictor._save_path.If you still want to use this path, set resume=True
No path specified. Models will be saved in: "AutogluonModels/ag-20230302_164032/"
Saved detection results to /home/ci/autogluon/docs/tutorials/multimodal/object_detection/quick_start/AutogluonModels/ag-20230302_164032/result.txt

Here, we save pred into a .txt file, which exactly follows the same layout as in pred. You can use a predictor initialized in any way (i.e. finetuned predictor, predictor with pretrained model, etc.).

Visualizing Results#

To run visualizations, ensure that you have opencv installed. If you haven’t already, install opencv by running

!pip install opencv-python

Requirement already satisfied: opencv-python in /home/ci/opt/venv/lib/python3.8/site-packages (4.7.0.72)
Requirement already satisfied: numpy>=1.17.0 in /home/ci/opt/venv/lib/python3.8/site-packages (from opencv-python) (1.23.5)

To visualize the detection bounding boxes, run the following:

from autogluon.multimodal.utils import Visualizer

conf_threshold = 0.4  # Specify a confidence threshold to filter out unwanted boxes
image_result = pred.iloc[30]

img_path = image_result.image  # Select an image to visualize

visualizer = Visualizer(img_path)  # Initialize the Visualizer
out = visualizer.draw_instance_predictions(image_result, conf_threshold=conf_threshold)  # Draw detections
visualized = out.get_image()  # Get the visualized image

from PIL import Image
from IPython.display import display
img = Image.fromarray(visualized, 'RGB')
display(img)
../../../../_images/7cbe78b6a1a1de3859f41b9db3fb47192e04ac1b23e03b11b4c2f92c7b70579a.png

Testing on Your Own Image#

You can also download an image and run inference on that single image. The follow is an example:

Download the example image:

from autogluon.multimodal import download
image_url = "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dmlc/web-data/master/gluoncv/detection/street_small.jpg"
test_image = download(image_url)

Downloading street_small.jpg from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dmlc/web-data/master/gluoncv/detection/street_small.jpg...

Run inference:

pred_test_image = predictor.predict({"image": [test_image]})
print(pred_test_image)

              image                                             bboxes
