# PP-PicoDet

![](../../docs/images/picedet_demo.jpeg)
## Introduction

We developed a series of lightweight models, named `PP-PicoDet`. Because of the excellent performance, our models are very suitable for deployment on mobile or CPU. For more details, please refer to our [report on arXiv](https://arxiv.org/abs/2111.00902).

- 🌟 Higher mAP: the **first** object detectors that surpass mAP(0.5:0.95) **30+** within 1M parameters when the input size is 416.
- 🚀 Faster latency: 150FPS on mobile ARM CPU.
- 😊 Deploy friendly: support PaddleLite/MNN/NCNN/OpenVINO and provide C++/Python/Android implementation.
- 😍 Advanced algorithm: use the most advanced algorithms and offer innovation, such as ESNet, CSP-PAN, SimOTA with VFL, etc.

### Comming Soon
- [ ] More series of model, such as smaller or larger model.
- [ ] Pretrained models for more scenarios.
- [ ] More features in need.

<summary><b>Table Notes:</b></summary>

- <a name="latency">Latency:</a> All our models test on `Qualcomm Snapdragon 865(4xA77+4xA55)` with 4 threads by arm8 and with FP16. In the above table, test latency on [NCNN](https://github.com/Tencent/ncnn) and `Lite`->[Paddle-Lite](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle-Lite).  And testing latency with code: [MobileDetBenchmark](https://github.com/JiweiMaster/MobileDetBenchmark).
- PicoDet is trained on COCO train2017 dataset and evaluated on COCO val2017.
- PicoDet used 4 or 8 GPUs for training and all checkpoints are trained with default settings and hyperparameters.

## Quantization

<details open>
<summary>Requirements:</summary>

- PaddlePaddle >= 2.2.0rc0
- PaddleSlim >= 2.2.0rc0

**Install:**

```shell
pip install paddleslim==2.2.0rc0
```

</details>

<details>
<summary>Quant aware (click to expand)</summary>

Configure the quant config and start training:

```shell
python tools/train.py -c configs/picodet/picodet_s_320_coco.yml \
          --slim_config configs/slim/quant/picodet_s_quant.yml --eval
```

- More detail can refer to [slim document](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/PaddleDetection/tree/develop/configs/slim)

</details>

<details>
<summary>Post quant (click to expand)</summary>

Configure the post quant config and start calibrate model:

```shell
python tools/post_quant.py -c configs/picodet/picodet_s_320_coco.yml \
          --slim_config configs/slim/post_quant/picodet_s_ptq.yml
```

- Notes: Now the accuracy of post quant is abnormal and this problem is being solved.

## Unstructured Pruning

<details open>
<summary>Toturial:</summary>

Please refer this [documentation](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/PaddleDetection/tree/develop/configs/picodet/pruner/README.md) for details such as requirements, training and deployment.

</details>

## Application

- **Pedestrian detection:** model zoo of `PicoDet-S-Pedestrian` please refer to [PP-TinyPose](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/PaddleDetection/tree/develop/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

<details>
<summary>Out of memory error.</summary>

Please reduce the `batch_size` of `TrainReader` in config.

</details>

<details>
<summary>How to transfer learning.</summary>

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.pdparams
```

</details>

<details>
<summary>The transpose operator is time-consuming on some hardware.</summary>

Please use `PicoDet-LCNet` model, which has fewer `transpose` operators.

</details>


<details>
<summary>How to count model parameters.</summary>

You can insert below code at [here](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/PaddleDetection/blob/develop/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)
```
