# Attribute Recognition Modules of PP-Human

Pedestrian attribute recognition has been widely used in the intelligent community, industrial, and transportation monitoring. Many attribute recognition modules have been gathered in PP-Human, including gender, age, hats, eyes, clothing and up to 26 attributes in total. Also, the pre-trained models are offered here and users can download and use them directly.

1. The precision of pedestiran attribute analysis is obtained by training and testing on the dataset consist of [PA100k](https://github.com/xh-liu/HydraPlus-Net#pa-100k-dataset)，[RAPv2](http://www.rapdataset.com/rapv2.html)，[PETA](http://mmlab.ie.cuhk.edu.hk/projects/PETA.html) and some business data.
2. The inference speed is V100, the speed of using TensorRT FP16.

## Instruction

1. Download the model from the link in the above table, and unzip it to```./output_inference```, and set the "enable: True" in ATTR of infer_cfg_pphuman.yml
2. When inputting the image, run the command as follows:
```python
python deploy/pipeline/pipeline.py --config deploy/pipeline/config/infer_cfg_pphuman.yml \
                                                   --image_file=test_image.jpg \
                                                   --device=gpu \
```
3. When inputting the video, run the command as follows:
```python
python deploy/pipeline/pipeline.py --config deploy/pipeline/config/infer_cfg_pphuman.yml \
                                                   --video_file=test_video.mp4 \
                                                   --device=gpu \
```
4. If you want to change the model path, there are two methods：

    - In ```./deploy/pipeline/config/infer_cfg_pphuman.yml``` you can configurate different model paths. In attribute recognition models, you can modify the configuration in the field of ATTR.
    - Add `--model_dir` in the command line to change the model path：
```python
python deploy/pipeline/pipeline.py --config deploy/pipeline/config/infer_cfg_pphuman.yml \
                                                   --video_file=test_video.mp4 \
                                                   --device=gpu \
                                                   --model_dir det=ppyoloe/
```

## Introduction to the Solution

1. The PP-YOLOE model is used to handle detection boxs of input images/videos from object detection/ multi-object tracking. For details, please refer to the document [PP-YOLOE](../../../configs/ppyoloe).
2. Capture every pedestrian in the input images with the help of coordiantes of detection boxes.
3. Analyze the listed labels of pedestirans through attribute recognition. They are the same as those in the PA100k dataset. The label list is as follows:
```
- Gender
- Age: Less than 18; 18-60; Over 60
- Orientation: Front; Back; Side
- Accessories: Glasses; Hat; None
- HoldObjectsInFront: Yes; No
- Bag: BackPack; ShoulderBag; HandBag
- TopStyle: UpperStride; UpperLogo; UpperPlaid; UpperSplice
- BottomStyle: LowerStripe; LowerPattern
- ShortSleeve: Yes; No
- LongSleeve: Yes; No
- LongCoat: Yes; No
- Trousers: Yes; No
- Shorts: Yes; No
- Skirt&Dress: Yes; No
- Boots: Yes; No
```

4. The model adopted in the attribute recognition is [StrongBaseline](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2107.03576.pdf), where the structure is the multi-class network structure based on PP-HGNet、PP-LCNet, and Weighted BCE loss is introduced for effect optimization.
