# PP-PicoDet

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

We developed a series of lightweight models, which named `PP-PicoDet`. Because of its excellent performance, it is 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 innovate, 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.

## Requirements
- PaddlePaddle >= 2.1.2

<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.

## Deployment

### Export and Convert model

<details>
<summary>1. Export model (click to expand)</summary>

```shell
cd PaddleDetection
python tools/export_model.py -c configs/picodet/picodet_s_320_coco.yml \
              -o weights=https://paddledet.bj.bcebos.com/models/picodet_s_320_coco.pdparams --output_dir=inference_model
```

</details>

<details>
<summary>2. Convert to PaddleLite (click to expand)</summary>

- Install Paddlelite>=2.10.rc:

```shell
pip install paddlelite
```

paddle_lite_opt --model_dir=inference_model/picodet_s_320_coco --valid_targets=arm --optimize_out=picodet_s_320_coco_fp32
# FP16
paddle_lite_opt --model_dir=inference_model/picodet_s_320_coco --valid_targets=arm --optimize_out=picodet_s_320_coco_fp16 --enable_fp16=true
```

</details>

<details>
<summary>3. Convert to ONNX (click to expand)</summary>

- Install [Paddle2ONNX](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle2ONNX) >= 0.7 and ONNX > 1.10.1, for details, please refer to [Tutorials of Export ONNX Model](../../deploy/EXPORT_ONNX_MODEL.md)

```shell
pip install onnx
pip install paddle2onnx
```

- Convert model:

```shell
paddle2onnx --model_dir output_inference/picodet_s_320_coco/ \
            --model_filename model.pdmodel  \
            --params_filename model.pdiparams \
            --opset_version 11 \
            --save_file picodet_s_320_coco.onnx
```

- Simplify ONNX model: use onnx-simplifier to simplify onnx model.

  - Install onnx-simplifier >= 0.3.6:
  ```shell
  pip install onnx-simplifier
  ```
  - simplify onnx model:
  ```shell
  python -m onnxsim picodet_s_320_coco.onnx picodet_s_processed.onnx
  ```
