    **Target Assign Layer for the detector RetinaNet.**

    This OP finds out positive and negative samples from all anchors
    for training the detector `RetinaNet <https://arxiv.org/abs/1708.02002>`_ ,
    and assigns target labels for classification along with target locations for
    regression to each sample, then takes out the part belonging to positive and
    negative samples from category prediction( :attr:`cls_logits`) and location
    prediction( :attr:`bbox_pred`) which belong to all anchors.

    The searching principles for positive and negative samples are as followed:

    1. Anchors are assigned to ground-truth boxes when it has the highest IoU
    overlap with a ground-truth box.

    2. Anchors are assigned to ground-truth boxes when it has an IoU overlap
    higher than :attr:`positive_overlap` with any ground-truth box.

    3. Anchors are assigned to background when its IoU overlap is lower than
    :attr:`negative_overlap` for all ground-truth boxes.

    4. Anchors which do not meet the above conditions do not participate in
    the training process.

    Retinanet predicts a :math:`C`-vector for classification and a 4-vector for box
    regression for each anchor, hence the target label for each positive(or negative)
    sample is a :math:`C`-vector and the target locations for each positive sample
    is a 4-vector. As for a positive sample, if the category of its assigned
    ground-truth box is class :math:`i`, the corresponding entry in its length
    :math:`C` label vector is set to 1 and all other entries is set to 0, its box
    regression targets are computed as the offset between itself and its assigned
    ground-truth box. As for a negative sample, all entries in its length :math:`C`
    label vector are set to 0 and box regression targets are omitted because
    negative samples do not participate in the training process of location
    regression.

    After the assignment, the part belonging to positive and negative samples is
    taken out from category prediction( :attr:`cls_logits` ), and the part
    belonging to positive samples is taken out from location
    prediction( :attr:`bbox_pred` ).

    **Target Assign Layer for region proposal network (RPN) in Faster-RCNN detection.**

    This layer can be, for given the  Intersection-over-Union (IoU) overlap
    between anchors and ground truth boxes, to assign classification and
    regression targets to each each anchor, these target labels are used for
    train RPN. The classification targets is a binary class label (of being
    an object or not). Following the paper of Faster-RCNN, the positive labels
    are two kinds of anchors: (i) the anchor/anchors with the highest IoU
    overlap with a ground-truth box, or (ii) an anchor that has an IoU overlap
    higher than rpn_positive_overlap(0.7) with any ground-truth box. Note
    that a single ground-truth box may assign positive labels to multiple
    anchors. A non-positive anchor is when its IoU ratio is lower than
    rpn_negative_overlap (0.3) for all ground-truth boxes. Anchors that are
    neither positive nor negative do not contribute to the training objective.
    The regression targets are the encoded ground-truth boxes associated with
    the positive anchors.

    Returns:
        tuple:
        A tuple(predicted_scores, predicted_location, target_label,
        target_bbox, bbox_inside_weight) is returned. The predicted_scores 
        and predicted_location is the predicted result of the RPN.
        The target_label and target_bbox is the ground truth,
        respectively. The predicted_location is a 2D Tensor with shape
        [F, 4], and the shape of target_bbox is same as the shape of
        the predicted_location, F is the number of the foreground
        anchors. The predicted_scores is a 2D Tensor with shape
        [F + B, 1], and the shape of target_label is same as the shape
        of the predicted_scores, B is the number of the background
        anchors, the F and B is depends on the input of this operator.
        Bbox_inside_weight represents whether the predicted loc is fake_fg
        or not and the shape is [F, 4].

    **Sigmoid Focal Loss Operator.**

    `Focal Loss <https://arxiv.org/abs/1708.02002>`_ is used to address the foreground-background
    class imbalance existed on the training phase of many computer vision tasks. This OP computes
    the sigmoid value for each element in the input tensor :attr:`x`, after which focal loss is
    measured between the sigmoid value and target label. 

    The focal loss is given as followed:

    .. math::
  
        \\mathop{loss_{i,\\,j}}\\limits_{i\\in\\mathbb{[0,\\,N-1]},\\,j\\in\\mathbb{[0,\\,C-1]}}=\\left\\{

        - \\frac{1}{fg\_num} * (1 - \\alpha) * {\sigma(x_{i,\\,j})}^{ \\gamma} * \\log(1 - \\sigma(x_{i,\\,j})) & & {(j +1)!= label_{i,\\,0}}
        \\end{array} \\right.


    We know that
    
    .. math::
        \\sigma(x_j) = \\frac{1}{1 + \\exp(-x_j)}


    Args:
        x(Variable): A 2-D tensor with shape :math:`[N, C]` represents the predicted categories of
            all samples. :math:`N` is the number of all samples responsible for optimization in
            a mini-batch, for example, samples are anchor boxes for object detection and :math:`N`
            is the total number of positive and negative samples in a mini-batch; Samples are images
            for image classification and :math:`N` is the number of images in a mini-batch. :math:`C`
            is the number of classes (**Notice: excluding background**). The data type of :attr:`x` is
            float32 or float64.
        label(Variable): A 2-D tensor with shape :math:`[N, 1]` represents the target labels for
            classification. :math:`N` is the number of all samples responsible for optimization in a
            mini-batch, each sample has one target category. The values for positive samples are in the
            range of :math:`[1, C]`, and the values for negative samples are 0. The data type of :attr:`label`
            is int32.
        fg_num(Variable): A 1-D tensor with shape [1] represents the number of positive samples in a
            mini-batch, which should be obtained before this OP. The data type of :attr:`fg_num` is int32.
        gamma(int|float): Hyper-parameter to balance the easy and hard examples. Default value is
            set to 2.0.
        alpha(int|float): Hyper-parameter to balance the positive and negative example. Default value
            is set to 0.25.

    Returns:
        Variable(the data type is float32 or float64): 
            A 2-D tensor with shape :math:`[N, C]`, which is the focal loss of each element in the input
            tensor :attr:`x`.

    Given the regression locations, classification confidences and prior boxes,

    1. Decode input bounding box predictions according to the prior boxes and
       regression locations.
    2. Get the final detection results by applying multi-class non maximum
       suppression (NMS).

    Please note, this operation doesn't clip the final output bounding boxes
    to the image window.

    Args:
        loc(Variable): A 3-D Tensor with shape [N, M, 4] represents the
            predicted locations of M bounding bboxes. Data type should be
            float32 or float64. N is the batch size,
            and each bounding box has four coordinate values and the layout
            is [xmin, ymin, xmax, ymax].
        scores(Variable): A 3-D Tensor with shape [N, M, C] represents the
            predicted confidence predictions. Data type should be float32
            or float64. N is the batch size, C is the
            class number, M is number of bounding boxes.
        prior_box(Variable): A 2-D Tensor with shape [M, 4] holds M boxes,
            each box is represented as [xmin, ymin, xmax, ymax]. Data type
            should be float32 or float64.
        prior_box_var(Variable): A 2-D Tensor with shape [M, 4] holds M group
            of variance. Data type should be float32 or float64.
        background_label(int): The index of background label,
            the background label will be ignored. If set to -1, then all
            categories will be considered. Default: 0.
        nms_threshold(float): The threshold to be used in NMS. Default: 0.3.
        nms_top_k(int): Maximum number of detections to be kept according
            to the confidences after filtering detections based on
            score_threshold and before NMS. Default: 400.
        keep_top_k(int): Number of total bboxes to be kept per image after
            NMS step. -1 means keeping all bboxes after NMS step. Default: 200.
        score_threshold(float): Threshold to filter out bounding boxes with
            low confidence score. If not provided, consider all boxes.
            Default: 0.01.
        nms_eta(float): The parameter for adaptive NMS. It works only when the
            value is less than 1.0. Default: 1.0.
        return_index(bool): Whether return selected index. Default: False

    Returns:

        A tuple with two Variables: (Out, Index) if return_index is True,
        otherwise, a tuple with one Variable(Out) is returned. 

        Out (Variable): The detection outputs is a LoDTensor with shape [No, 6].
        Data type is the same as input (loc). Each row has six values:
        [label, confidence, xmin, ymin, xmax, ymax]. `No` is
        the total number of detections in this mini-batch. For each instance,
        the offsets in first dimension are called LoD, the offset number is
        N + 1, N is the batch size. The i-th image has `LoD[i + 1] - LoD[i]`
        detected results, if it is 0, the i-th image has no detected results.

        Index (Variable): Only return when return_index is True. A 2-D LoDTensor
        with shape [No, 1] represents the selected index which type is Integer.
        The index is the absolute value cross batches. No is the same number
        as Out. If the index is used to gather other attribute such as age,
        one needs to reshape the input(N, M, 1) to (N * M, 1) as first, where
        N is the batch size and M is the number of boxes.

    **Box Coder Layer**

    Encode/Decode the target bounding box with the priorbox information.
    
    The Encoding schema described below:

    .. math::

        ox = (tx - px) / pw / pxv

        oy = (ty - py) / ph / pyv

        ow = \log(\abs(tw / pw)) / pwv 

        oh = \log(\abs(th / ph)) / phv 

    The Decoding schema described below:
    
    .. math::
  
        ox = (pw * pxv * tx * + px) - tw / 2

        oy = (ph * pyv * ty * + py) - th / 2

        ow = \exp(pwv * tw) * pw + tw / 2

        oh = \exp(phv * th) * ph + th / 2   

    where `tx`, `ty`, `tw`, `th` denote the target box's center coordinates, 
    width and height respectively. Similarly, `px`, `py`, `pw`, `ph` denote 
    the priorbox's (anchor) center coordinates, width and height. `pxv`, 
    `pyv`, `pwv`, `phv` denote the variance of the priorbox and `ox`, `oy`, 
    `ow`, `oh` denote the encoded/decoded coordinates, width and height. 

    During Box Decoding, two modes for broadcast are supported. Say target 
    box has shape [N, M, 4], and the shape of prior box can be [N, 4] or 
    [M, 4]. Then prior box will broadcast to target box along the 
    assigned axis. 

    Args:
        prior_box(Variable): Box list prior_box is a 2-D Tensor with shape 
            [M, 4] holds M boxes and data type is float32 or float64. Each box
            is represented as [xmin, ymin, xmax, ymax], [xmin, ymin] is the 
            left top coordinate of the anchor box, if the input is image feature
            map, they are close to the origin of the coordinate system. 
            [xmax, ymax] is the right bottom coordinate of the anchor box.       
        prior_box_var(List|Variable|None): prior_box_var supports three types 
            of input. One is variable with shape [M, 4] which holds M group and 
            data type is float32 or float64. The second is list consist of 
            4 elements shared by all boxes and data type is float32 or float64. 
            Other is None and not involved in calculation. 
        target_box(Variable): This input can be a 2-D LoDTensor with shape 
            [N, 4] when code_type is 'encode_center_size'. This input also can 
            be a 3-D Tensor with shape [N, M, 4] when code_type is 
            'decode_center_size'. Each box is represented as 
            [xmin, ymin, xmax, ymax]. The data type is float32 or float64. 
            This tensor can contain LoD information to represent a batch of inputs. 
        code_type(str): The code type used with the target box. It can be
            `encode_center_size` or `decode_center_size`. `encode_center_size` 
            by default.
        box_normalized(bool): Whether treat the priorbox as a normalized box.
            Set true by default.
        name(str, optional): For detailed information, please refer 
            to :ref:`api_guide_Name`. Usually name is no need to set and 
            None by default. 
        axis(int): Which axis in PriorBox to broadcast for box decode, 
            for example, if axis is 0 and TargetBox has shape [N, M, 4] and 
            PriorBox has shape [M, 4], then PriorBox will broadcast to [N, M, 4]
            for decoding. It is only valid when code type is 
            `decode_center_size`. Set 0 by default. 

    Returns:
        Variable:

        output_box(Variable): When code_type is 'encode_center_size', the 
        output tensor of box_coder_op with shape [N, M, 4] representing the 
        result of N target boxes encoded with M Prior boxes and variances. 
        When code_type is 'decode_center_size', N represents the batch size 
        and M represents the number of decoded boxes.

    This operator implements a greedy bipartite matching algorithm, which is
    used to obtain the matching with the maximum distance based on the input
    distance matrix. For input 2D matrix, the bipartite matching algorithm can
    find the matched column for each row (matched means the largest distance),
    also can find the matched row for each column. And this operator only
    calculate matched indices from column to row. For each instance,
    the number of matched indices is the column number of the input distance
    matrix. **The OP only supports CPU**.

    There are two outputs, matched indices and distance.
    A simple description, this algorithm matched the best (maximum distance)
    row entity to the column entity and the matched indices are not duplicated
    in each row of ColToRowMatchIndices. If the column entity is not matched
    any row entity, set -1 in ColToRowMatchIndices.

    NOTE: the input DistMat can be LoDTensor (with LoD) or Tensor.
    If LoDTensor with LoD, the height of ColToRowMatchIndices is batch size.
    If Tensor, the height of ColToRowMatchIndices is 1.

    NOTE: This API is a very low level API. It is used by :code:`ssd_loss`
    layer. Please consider to use :code:`ssd_loss` instead.

    Args:
        dist_matrix(Variable): This input is a 2-D LoDTensor with shape
            [K, M]. The data type is float32 or float64. It is pair-wise 
            distance matrix between the entities represented by each row and 
            each column. For example, assumed one entity is A with shape [K], 
            another entity is B with shape [M]. The dist_matrix[i][j] is the 
            distance between A[i] and B[j]. The bigger the distance is, the 
            better matching the pairs are. NOTE: This tensor can contain LoD 
            information to represent a batch of inputs. One instance of this 
            batch can contain different numbers of entities.
        match_type(str, optional): The type of matching method, should be

        dist_threshold(float32, optional): If `match_type` is 'per_prediction',
            this threshold is to determine the extra matching bboxes based

            to :ref:`api_guide_Name`. Usually name is no need to set and 
            None by default.

        Tuple:

        matched_indices(Variable): A 2-D Tensor with shape [N, M]. The data
        type is int32. N is the batch size. If match_indices[i][j] is -1, it
        means B[j] does not match any entity in i-th instance.
        Otherwise, it means B[j] is matched to row
        match_indices[i][j] in i-th instance. The row number of
        i-th instance is saved in match_indices[i][j].

        matched_distance(Variable): A 2-D Tensor with shape [N, M]. The data
        type is float32. N is batch size. If match_indices[i][j] is -1,

           the j-th entity of column is not matched to any entity of row in
           i-th instance.
       negative_indices (Variable, optional): The input negative example indices
           are an optional input with shape [Neg, 1] and int32 type, where Neg is
           the total number of negative example indices.
       mismatch_value (float32, optional): Fill this value to the mismatched

    **Multi-box loss layer for object detection algorithm of SSD**

    This layer is to compute detection loss for SSD given the location offset
    predictions, confidence predictions, prior boxes and ground-truth bounding
    boxes and labels, and the type of hard example mining. The returned loss
    is a weighted sum of the localization loss (or regression loss) and
    confidence loss (or classification loss) by performing the following steps:

    1. Find matched bounding box by bipartite matching algorithm.

      1.1 Compute IOU similarity between ground-truth boxes and prior boxes.

      1.2 Compute matched bounding box by bipartite matching algorithm.

    2. Compute confidence for mining hard examples

      2.1. Get the target label based on matched indices.

      2.2. Compute confidence loss.

    3. Apply hard example mining to get the negative example indices and update
       the matched indices.

    4. Assign classification and regression targets

      4.1. Encoded bbox according to the prior boxes.

      4.2. Assign regression targets.

      4.3. Assign classification targets.

    5. Compute the overall objective loss.

      5.1 Compute confidence loss.

      5.2 Compute localization loss.

      5.3 Compute the overall weighted loss.

    This op generates density prior boxes for SSD(Single Shot MultiBox Detector) 
    algorithm. Each position of the input produce N prior boxes, N is 
    determined by the count of densities, fixed_sizes and fixed_ratios. 
    Boxes center at grid points around each input position is generated by 
    this operator, and the grid points is determined by densities and 
    the count of density prior box is determined by fixed_sizes and fixed_ratios. 
    Obviously, the number of fixed_sizes is equal to the number of densities.
    
    For densities_i in densities:
    
    .. math::

        N\_density_prior\_box = SUM(N\_fixed\_ratios * densities\_i^2)

    N_density_prior_box is the number of density_prior_box and N_fixed_ratios is the number of fixed_ratios.

    **Generate Proposal Labels of Faster-RCNN**

    This operator can be, for given the GenerateProposalOp output bounding boxes and groundtruth,

    RpnRois is the output boxes of RPN and was processed by generate_proposal_op, these boxes
    were combined with groundtruth boxes and sampled according to batch_size_per_im and fg_fraction,
    If an instance with a groundtruth overlap greater than fg_thresh, then it was considered as a foreground sample.
    If an instance with a groundtruth overlap greater than bg_thresh_lo and lower than bg_thresh_hi,
    then it was considered as a background sample.
    After all foreground and background boxes are chosen (so called Rois),
    then we apply random sampling to make sure
    the number of foreground boxes is no more than batch_size_per_im * fg_fraction.

    For each box in Rois, we assign the classification (class label) and regression targets (box label) to it.
    Finally BboxInsideWeights and BboxOutsideWeights are used to specify whether it would contribute to training loss.

    Args:
        rpn_rois(Variable): A 2-D LoDTensor with shape [N, 4]. N is the number of the GenerateProposalOp's output, each element is a bounding box with [xmin, ymin, xmax, ymax] format. The data type can be float32 or float64.

        im_info(Variable): A 2-D LoDTensor with shape [B, 3]. B is the number of input images, each element consists of im_height, im_width, im_scale.

        batch_size_per_im(int): Batch size of rois per images. The data type must be int32.
        fg_fraction(float): Foreground fraction in total batch_size_per_im. The data type must be float32.

    **Generate proposal Faster-RCNN**

    This operation proposes RoIs according to each box with their
    probability to be a foreground object and 
    the box can be calculated by anchors. Bbox_deltais and scores
    to be an object are the output of RPN. Final proposals
    could be used to train detection net.

    For generating proposals, this operation performs following steps:

    1. Transposes and resizes scores and bbox_deltas in size of
       (H*W*A, 1) and (H*W*A, 4)
    2. Calculate box locations as proposals candidates. 
    3. Clip boxes to image

            in (xmin, ymin, xmax, ymax) format an unnormalized. The data type must be float32.
        variances(Variable): A 4-D Tensor. The expanded variances of anchors with a layout of
            [H, W, num_priors, 4]. Each variance is in
            (xcenter, ycenter, w, h) format. The data type must be float32.
        pre_nms_top_n(float): Number of total bboxes to be kept per
            image before NMS. The data type must be float32. `6000` by default.

            width < min_size. The data type must be float32. `0.1` by default.
        eta(float): Apply in adaptive NMS, if adaptive `threshold > 0.5`,
            `adaptive_threshold = adaptive_threshold * eta` in each iteration.
        return_rois_num(bool): When setting True, it will return a 1D Tensor with shape [N, ] that includes Rois's 
            num of each image in one batch. The N is the image's num. For example, the tensor has values [4,5] that represents
            the first image has 4 Rois, the second image has 5 Rois. It only used in rcnn model. 
            'False' by default. 
        name(str, optional): For detailed information, please refer 
            to :ref:`api_guide_Name`. Usually name is no need to set and 
            None by default.

        tuple:
        A tuple with format ``(rpn_rois, rpn_roi_probs)``.

        - **rpn_rois**: The generated RoIs. 2-D Tensor with shape ``[N, 4]`` while ``N`` is the number of RoIs. The data type is the same as ``scores``.

    **Detection Output Layer for the detector RetinaNet.**

    In the detector `RetinaNet <https://arxiv.org/abs/1708.02002>`_ , many 
    `FPN <https://arxiv.org/abs/1612.03144>`_ levels output the category
    and location predictions, this OP is to get the detection results by
    performing following steps:

    1. For each FPN level, decode box predictions according to the anchor
       boxes from at most :attr:`nms_top_k` top-scoring predictions after
       thresholding detector confidence at :attr:`score_threshold`.
    2. Merge top predictions from all levels and apply multi-class non 
       maximum suppression (NMS) on them to get the final detections.

    Args:
        bboxes(List): A list of Tensors from multiple FPN levels represents
            the location prediction for all anchor boxes. Each element is
            a 3-D Tensor with shape :math:`[N, Mi, 4]`, :math:`N` is the
            batch size, :math:`Mi` is the number of bounding boxes from
            :math:`i`-th FPN level and each bounding box has four coordinate
            values and the layout is [xmin, ymin, xmax, ymax]. The data type
            of each element is float32 or float64.
        scores(List): A list of Tensors from multiple FPN levels represents
            the category prediction for all anchor boxes. Each element is a
            3-D Tensor with shape :math:`[N, Mi, C]`,  :math:`N` is the batch
            size, :math:`C` is the class number (**excluding background**),
            :math:`Mi` is the number of bounding boxes from :math:`i`-th FPN
            level. The data type of each element is float32 or float64.
        anchors(List): A list of Tensors from multiple FPN levels represents
            the locations of all anchor boxes. Each element is a 2-D Tensor
            with shape :math:`[Mi, 4]`, :math:`Mi` is the number of bounding
            boxes from :math:`i`-th FPN level, and each bounding box has four
            coordinate values and the layout is [xmin, ymin, xmax, ymax].
            The data type of each element is float32 or float64.
        im_info(Variable): A 2-D Tensor with shape :math:`[N, 3]` represents the size
            information of input images. :math:`N` is the batch size, the size
            information of each image is a 3-vector which are the height and width
            of the network input along with the factor scaling the origin image to
            the network input. The data type of :attr:`im_info` is float32.
        score_threshold(float): Threshold to filter out bounding boxes
            with a confidence score before NMS, default value is set to 0.05.
        nms_top_k(int): Maximum number of detections per FPN layer to be
            kept according to the confidences before NMS, default value is set to
            1000.
        keep_top_k(int): Number of total bounding boxes to be kept per image after
            NMS step. Default value is set to 100, -1 means keeping all bounding
            boxes after NMS step.
        nms_threshold(float): The Intersection-over-Union(IoU) threshold used to 
            filter out boxes in NMS.
        nms_eta(float): The parameter for adjusting :attr:`nms_threshold` in NMS.
            Default value is set to 1., which represents the value of
            :attr:`nms_threshold` keep the same in NMS. If :attr:`nms_eta` is set
            to be lower than 1. and the value of :attr:`nms_threshold` is set to
            be higher than 0.5, everytime a bounding box is filtered out,
            the adjustment for :attr:`nms_threshold` like :attr:`nms_threshold`
            = :attr:`nms_threshold` * :attr:`nms_eta`  will not be stopped until
            the actual value of :attr:`nms_threshold` is lower than or equal to
            0.5.

    **Notice**: In some cases where the image sizes are very small, it's possible
    that there is no detection if :attr:`score_threshold` are used at all
    levels. Hence, this OP do not filter out anchors from the highest FPN level
    before NMS. And the last element in :attr:`bboxes`:, :attr:`scores` and
    :attr:`anchors` is required to be from the highest FPN level.

    Returns:
        Variable(The data type is float32 or float64):
            The detection output is a 1-level LoDTensor with shape :math:`[No, 6]`.
            Each row has six values: [label, confidence, xmin, ymin, xmax, ymax].
            :math:`No` is the total number of detections in this mini-batch.
            The :math:`i`-th image has `LoD[i + 1] - LoD[i]` detected
            results, if `LoD[i + 1] - LoD[i]` is 0, the :math:`i`-th image
            has no detected results. If all images have no detected results,
            LoD will be set to 0, and the output tensor is empty (None).

    **Multiclass NMS**
    
    This operator is to do multi-class non maximum suppression (NMS) on
    boxes and scores.

    In the NMS step, this operator greedily selects a subset of detection bounding
    boxes that have high scores larger than score_threshold, if providing this
    threshold, then selects the largest nms_top_k confidences scores if nms_top_k
    is larger than -1. Then this operator pruns away boxes that have high IOU
    (intersection over union) overlap with already selected boxes by adaptive
    threshold NMS based on parameters of nms_threshold and nms_eta.
    Aftern NMS step, at most keep_top_k number of total bboxes are to be kept
    per image if keep_top_k is larger than -1.

    **Local Aware NMS**
    
    `Local Aware NMS <https://arxiv.org/abs/1704.03155>`_ is to do locality-aware non maximum
    suppression (LANMS) on boxes and scores.

    Firstly, this operator merge box and score according their IOU
    (intersection over union). In the NMS step, this operator greedily selects a
    subset of detection bounding boxes that have high scores larger than score_threshold,
    if providing this threshold, then selects the largest nms_top_k confidences scores
    if nms_top_k is larger than -1. Then this operator pruns away boxes that have high
    IOU overlap with already selected boxes by adaptive threshold NMS based on parameters
    of nms_threshold and nms_eta.

    Aftern NMS step, at most keep_top_k number of total bboxes are to be kept
    per image if keep_top_k is larger than -1.

    Args:
        bboxes (Variable): A 3-D Tensor with shape [N, M, 4 or 8 16 24 32]
                           represents the predicted locations of M bounding
                           bboxes, N is the batch size. Each bounding box
                           has four coordinate values and the layout is
                           [xmin, ymin, xmax, ymax], when box size equals to 4.
                           The data type is float32 or float64.
        scores (Variable): A 3-D Tensor with shape [N, C, M] represents the
                           predicted confidence predictions. N is the batch
                           size, C is the class number, M is number of bounding
                           boxes. Now only support 1 class. For each category
                           there are total M scores which corresponding M bounding
                           boxes. Please note, M is equal to the 2nd dimension of
                           BBoxes. The data type is float32 or float64.
        background_label (int): The index of background label, the background
                                label will be ignored. If set to -1, then all
                                categories will be considered. Default: -1
        score_threshold (float): Threshold to filter out bounding boxes with
                                 low confidence score. If not provided,
                                 consider all boxes.
        nms_top_k (int): Maximum number of detections to be kept according to
                         the confidences after the filtering detections based
                         on score_threshold.
        keep_top_k (int): Number of total bboxes to be kept per image after NMS
                          step. -1 means keeping all bboxes after NMS step.
        nms_threshold (float): The threshold to be used in NMS. Default: 0.3
        nms_eta (float): The threshold to be used in NMS. Default: 1.0
        normalized (bool): Whether detections are normalized. Default: True
        name(str): Name of the locality aware nms op, please refer to :ref:`api_guide_Name` .
                          Default: None.

    Returns:
        Variable: A 2-D LoDTensor with shape [No, 6] represents the detections.
             Each row has 6 values: [label, confidence, xmin, ymin, xmax, ymax]
             or A 2-D LoDTensor with shape [No, 10] represents the detections.
             Each row has 10 values:
             [label, confidence, x1, y1, x2, y2, x3, y3, x4, y4]. No is the
             total number of detections. If there is no detected boxes for all
             images, lod will be set to {1} and Out only contains one value
             which is -1.
             (After version 1.3, when no boxes detected, the lod is changed
             from {0} to {1}). The data type is float32 or float64.

    **This op only takes LoDTensor as input.** In Feature Pyramid Networks 
    (FPN) models, it is needed to distribute all proposals into different FPN 
    level, with respect to scale of the proposals, the referring scale and the 
    referring level. Besides, to restore the order of proposals, we return an 
    array which indicates the original index of rois in current proposals. 
    To compute FPN level for each roi, the formula is given as follows:
    
    .. math::

        roi\_scale &= \sqrt{BBoxArea(fpn\_roi)}

        level = floor(&\log(\\frac{roi\_scale}{refer\_scale}) + refer\_level)

    where BBoxArea is a function to compute the area of each roi.

    Args:

        fpn_rois(Variable): 2-D Tensor with shape [N, 4] and data type is 
            float32 or float64. The input fpn_rois.
        min_level(int32): The lowest level of FPN layer where the proposals come 
            from.
        max_level(int32): The highest level of FPN layer where the proposals
            come from.
        refer_level(int32): The referring level of FPN layer with specified scale.
        refer_scale(int32): The referring scale of FPN layer with specified level.
        rois_num(Tensor): 1-D Tensor contains the number of RoIs in each image. 
            The shape is [B] and data type is int32. B is the number of images.
            If it is not None then return a list of 1-D Tensor. Each element 
            is the output RoIs' number of each image on the corresponding level
            and the shape is [B]. None by default.
        name(str, optional): For detailed information, please refer 
            to :ref:`api_guide_Name`. Usually name is no need to set and 
            None by default. 

    Returns:
        Tuple:

        multi_rois(List) : A list of 2-D LoDTensor with shape [M, 4] 
        and data type of float32 and float64. The length is 
        max_level-min_level+1. The proposals in each FPN level.

        restore_ind(Variable): A 2-D Tensor with shape [N, 1], N is 
        the number of total rois. The data type is int32. It is
        used to restore the order of fpn_rois.

        rois_num_per_level(List): A list of 1-D Tensor and each Tensor is 
        the RoIs' number in each image on the corresponding level. The shape 
        is [B] and data type of int32. B is the number of images
