## Introduction

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

**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 4 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`.
