## News
- Released a new series of PP-PicoDet models: **(2022.03.20)**
- (1) It was used TAL/Task-aligned-Head and optimized PAN, which greatly improved the accuracy;
- (2) Moreover optimized CPU prediction speed, and the training speed is greatly improved;
- (3) The export model includes post-processing, and the prediction directly outputs the result, without secondary release/2.4ment, and the migration cost is lower.
### Legacy Model

Table Notes:
- Latency: All our models test on `Intel core i7 10750H` CPU with MKLDNN by 12 threads and `Qualcomm Snapdragon 865(4xA77+4xA55)` with 4 threads by arm8 and with FP16. In the above table, test CPU latency on Paddle-Inference and testing Mobile latency with `Lite`->[Paddle-Lite](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle-Lite).
- PicoDet is trained on COCO train2017 dataset and evaluated on COCO val2017. And PicoDet used 4 GPUs for training and all checkpoints are trained with default settings and hyperparameters.
- Benchmark test: When testing the speed benchmark, the post-processing is not included in the exported model, you need to set `-o export.benchmark=True` or manually modify [runtime.yml](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/PaddleDetection/blob/release/2.4/configs/runtime.yml#L12).

## Quick Start
Requirements:
- PaddlePaddle >= 2.2.2
Installation
- [Installation guide](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/PaddleDetection/blob/release/2.4/docs/tutorials/INSTALL.md)
- [Prepare dataset](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/PaddleDetection/blob/release/2.4/docs/tutorials/PrepareDataSet_en.md)
Training and Evaluation
- Training model on single-GPU:
```shell
# training on single-GPU
export CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0
python tools/train.py -c configs/picodet/picodet_s_320_coco_lcnet.yml --eval
```
If the GPU is out of memory during training, reduce the batch_size in TrainReader, and reduce the base_lr in LearningRate proportionally. At the same time, the configs we published are all trained with 4 GPUs. If the number of GPUs is changed to 1, the base_lr needs to be reduced by a factor of 4.
- Training model on multi-GPU:
```shell
# training on multi-GPU
export CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7
python -m paddle.distributed.launch --gpus 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7 tools/train.py -c configs/picodet/picodet_s_320_coco_lcnet.yml --eval
```
- Evaluation:
```shell
python tools/eval.py -c configs/picodet/picodet_s_320_coco_lcnet.yml \
-o weights=https://paddledet.bj.bcebos.com/models/picodet_s_320_coco_lcnet.pdparams
```
- Infer:
```shell
python tools/infer.py -c configs/picodet/picodet_s_320_coco_lcnet.yml \
-o weights=https://paddledet.bj.bcebos.com/models/picodet_s_320_coco_lcnet.pdparams

## Unstructured Pruning
Toturial:
Please refer this [documentation](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/PaddleDetection/tree/release/2.4/configs/picodet/pruner/README.md) for details such as requirements, training and deployment.
## Application
- **Pedestrian detection:** model zoo of `PicoDet-S-Pedestrian` please refer to [PP-TinyPose](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/PaddleDetection/tree/release/2.4/configs/keypoint/tiny_pose#%E8%A1%8C%E4%BA%BA%E6%A3%80%E6%B5%8B%E6%A8%A1%E5%9E%8B)
- **Mainbody detection:** model zoo of `PicoDet-L-Mainbody` please refer to [mainbody detection](./application/mainbody_detection/README.md)
## FAQ
Out of memory error.
Please reduce the `batch_size` of `TrainReader` in config.
How to transfer learning.
Please reset `pretrain_weights` in config, which trained on coco. Such as:
```yaml
pretrain_weights: https://paddledet.bj.bcebos.com/models/picodet_l_640_coco_lcnet.pdparams
```
The transpose operator is time-consuming on some hardware.
Please use `PicoDet-LCNet` model, which has fewer `transpose` operators.
How to count model parameters.
You can insert below code at [here](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/PaddleDetection/blob/release/2.4/ppdet/engine/trainer.py#L141) to count learnable parameters.
```python
params = sum([
p.numel() for n, p in self.model. named_parameters()
if all([x not in n for x in ['_mean', '_variance']])
]) # exclude BatchNorm running status
print('params: ', params)
```
