## Introduction

MCFairMOT is the Multi-class extended version of [FairMOT](https://arxiv.org/abs/2004.01888).

### PP-Tracking real-time MOT system
In addition, PaddleDetection also provides [PP-Tracking](../../../deploy/pptracking/README.md) real-time multi-object tracking system.
PP-Tracking is the first open source real-time Multi-Object Tracking system, and it is based on PaddlePaddle deep learning framework. It has rich models, wide application and high efficiency deployment.

PP-Tracking supports two paradigms: single camera tracking (MOT) and multi-camera tracking (MTMCT). Aiming at the difficulties and pain points of actual business, PP-Tracking provides various MOT functions and applications such as pedestrian tracking, vehicle tracking, multi-class tracking, small object tracking, traffic statistics and multi-camera tracking. The deployment method supports API and GUI visual interface, and the deployment language supports Python and C++, The deployment platform environment supports Linux, NVIDIA Jetson, etc.

### AI studio public project tutorial
PP-tracking provides an AI studio public project tutorial. Please refer to this [tutorial](https://aistudio.baidu.com/aistudio/projectdetail/3022582).

**Notes:**
 - MOTA is the average MOTA of 10 catecories in the VisDrone2019 MOT dataset, and its value is also equal to the average MOTA of all the evaluated video sequences.
 - MCFairMOT used 4 GPUs for training 30 epoches. The batch size is 6 on each GPU for MCFairMOT DLA-34, and 8 for MCFairMOT HRNetV2-W18.


## Getting Start

### 1. Training
Training MCFairMOT on 4 GPUs with following command
```bash
python -m paddle.distributed.launch --log_dir=./mcfairmot_dla34_30e_1088x608_visdrone/ --gpus 0,1,2,3 tools/train.py -c configs/mot/mcfairmot/mcfairmot_dla34_30e_1088x608_visdrone.yml
```

### 2. Evaluation
Evaluating the track performance of MCFairMOT on val dataset in single GPU with following commands:
```bash
# use weights released in PaddleDetection model zoo
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python tools/eval_mot.py -c configs/mot/mcfairmot/mcfairmot_dla34_30e_1088x608_visdrone.yml -o weights=https://paddledet.bj.bcebos.com/models/mot/mcfairmot_dla34_30e_1088x608_visdrone.pdparams

# use saved checkpoint in training
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python tools/eval_mot.py -c configs/mot/mcfairmot/mcfairmot_dla34_30e_1088x608_visdrone.yml -o weights=output/mcfairmot_dla34_30e_1088x608_visdrone/model_final.pdparams
```
**Notes:**
 - The default evaluation dataset is VisDrone2019 MOT val-set. If you want to change the evaluation dataset, please refer to the following code and modify `configs/datasets/mcmot.yml`：
  ```
  EvalMOTDataset:
    !MOTImageFolder
      dataset_dir: dataset/mot
      data_root: your_dataset/images/val
      keep_ori_im: False # set True if save visualization images or video
  ```
 - Tracking results will be saved in `{output_dir}/mot_results/`, and every sequence has one txt file, each line of the txt file is `frame,id,x1,y1,w,h,score,cls_id,-1,-1`, and you can set `{output_dir}` by `--output_dir`.

### 3. Inference
Inference a vidoe on single GPU with following command:
```bash
# inference on video and save a video
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python tools/infer_mot.py -c configs/mot/mcfairmot/mcfairmot_dla34_30e_1088x608_visdrone.yml -o weights=https://paddledet.bj.bcebos.com/models/mot/mcfairmot_dla34_30e_1088x608_visdrone.pdparams --video_file={your video name}.mp4  --save_videos
```
**Notes:**
 - Please make sure that [ffmpeg](https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.html) is installed first, on Linux(Ubuntu) platform you can directly install it by the following command:`apt-get update && apt-get install -y ffmpeg`.


### 4. Export model
```bash
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python tools/export_model.py -c configs/mot/mcfairmot/mcfairmot_dla34_30e_1088x608_visdrone.yml -o weights=https://paddledet.bj.bcebos.com/models/mot/mcfairmot_dla34_30e_1088x608_visdrone.pdparams
```

### 5. Using exported model for python inference
```bash
python deploy/pptracking/python/mot_jde_infer.py --model_dir=output_inference/mcfairmot_dla34_30e_1088x608_visdrone --video_file={your video name}.mp4 --device=GPU --save_mot_txts
```
**Notes:**
 - The tracking model is used to predict the video, and does not support the prediction of a single image. The visualization video of the tracking results is saved by default. You can add `--save_mot_txts` to save the txt result file, or `--save_images` to save the visualization images.
 - Each line of the tracking results txt file is `frame,id,x1,y1,w,h,score,cls_id,-1,-1`.
