    **Target Assign Layer for Retinanet .**

    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 anchor, these target labels are used for training
    retinanet. Every anchor is assigned with a length :attr:`num_classes`
    one-hot vector of classification targets, and a 4-vector of box regression
    targets. The assignment rules are as followed:
    
    1. Anchors are assigned to ground-truth boxes when: (i) it has the highest
    IoU overlap with a ground-truth box, or (ii) it has an IoU overlap higher
    than positive_overlap(0.5) with any ground-truth box.
    
    2. Anchors are assigned to background when its IoU ratio is lower than
    negative_overlap (0.4) for all ground-truth boxes.
    
    When an anchor is assigned with a ground-truth box which is the i-th category,
    the i-th entry in its C vector of targets is set to 1 and all other entries
    are set to 0. When an anchor is assigned with background, all entries are set
    to 0. Anchors that are not assigned do not contribute to the training
    objective. The regression targets are the encoded ground-truth boxes
    associated with the assigned anchors.

    **Detection Output Layer for Single Shot Multibox Detector (SSD).**

    This operation is to get the detection results by performing following
    two steps:

    1. Decode input bounding box predictions according to the prior boxes.
    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. 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. N is the batch size, C is the
            class number, M is number of bounding boxes. For each category
            there are total M scores which corresponding M 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],
            [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(Variable): A 2-D Tensor with shape [M, 4] holds M group
            of variance.
        background_label(float): The index of background label,
            the background label will be ignored. If set to -1, then all
            categories will be considered.
        nms_threshold(float): The threshold to be used in NMS.
        nms_top_k(int): Maximum number of detections to be kept according
            to the confidences aftern 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.
        score_threshold(float): Threshold to filter out bounding boxes with
            low confidence score. If not provided, consider all boxes.
        nms_eta(float): The parameter for adaptive NMS.
        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: The detection outputs is a LoDTensor with shape [No, 6]. 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. 

        If all images have not detected results, LoD will be set to {1}, and 
        output tensor only contains one value, which is -1.
        (After version 1.3, when no boxes detected, the lod is changed
        from {0} to {1}.)       
 
        Index: 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

    .. 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.

        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 noramlized 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 deocded 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
           'bipartite' or 'per_prediction'. None ('bipartite') by default.
        dist_threshold(float32, optional): If `match_type` is 'per_prediction',
            this threshold is to determine the extra matching bboxes based
            on the maximum distance, 0.5 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:

        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,
        match_distance[i][j] is also -1.0. Otherwise, assumed

       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.

    **Generate Proposal Labels of Faster-RCNN**

    This operator can be, for given the GenerateProposalOp output bounding boxes and groundtruth,
    to sample foreground boxes and background boxes, and compute loss target.

    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.
        fg_thresh(float): Overlap threshold which is used to chose foreground sample. The data type must be float32.

        bg_thresh_lo(float): Overlap threshold lower bound which is used to chose background sample. The data type must be float32.
        bbox_reg_weights(list|tuple): Box regression weights. The data type must be float32.
        class_nums(int): Class number. The data type must be int32.
        use_random(bool): Use random sampling to choose foreground and background boxes.

    **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.

    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

             [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})

    **Multiclass NMS2**
    
    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.

    Args:
        bboxes (Variable): Two types of bboxes are supported:
                           1. (Tensor) 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.
                           2. (LoDTensor) A 3-D Tensor with shape [M, C, 4]
                           M is the number of bounding boxes, C is the 
                           class number   
        scores (Variable): Two types of scores are supported:

                           number of bounding boxes. For each category there 
                           are total M scores which corresponding M bounding
                           boxes. Please note, M is equal to the 2nd dimension
                           of BBoxes.
                           2. (LoDTensor) A 2-D LoDTensor with shape [M, C].
                           M is the number of bbox, C is the class number.
                           In this case, input BBoxes should be the second
                           case with shape [M, C, 4].
        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
        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 aftern 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.
        normalized (bool): Whether detections are normalized. Default: True
        return_index(bool): Whether return selected index. Default: False
        name(str): Name of the multiclass nms op. Default: None.

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

        Out: 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 all images have not detected results, all elements in LoD will be
        0, and output tensor is empty (None).

        Index: 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.
