## Introduction

[Joint Detection and Embedding](https://arxiv.org/abs/1909.12605)(JDE) is a fast and high-performance multiple-object tracker that learns the object detection task and appearance embedding task simutaneously in a shared neural network.

**Notes:**
 JDE used 8 GPUs for training and mini-batch size as 4 on each GPU, and trained for 30 epoches.

## Getting Start

### 1. Training

Training JDE on 8 GPUs with following command

```bash
python -m paddle.distributed.launch --log_dir=./jde_darknet53_30e_1088x608/ --gpus 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7 tools/train.py -c configs/mot/jde/jde_darknet53_30e_1088x608.yml &>jde_darknet53_30e_1088x608.log 2>&1 &
```

### 2. Evaluation

Evaluating the track performance of JDE 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/jde/jde_darknet53_30e_1088x608.yml -o weights=https://paddledet.bj.bcebos.com/models/mot/jde_darknet53_30e_1088x608.pdparams

# use saved checkpoint in training
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python tools/eval_mot.py -c configs/mot/jde/jde_darknet53_30e_1088x608.yml -o weights=output/jde_darknet53_30e_1088x608/model_final
```

### 3. Inference

Inference a vidoe in single GPU with following commands.

```bash
# inference on video
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python tools/infer_mot.py configs/mot/jde/jde_darknet53_30e_1088x608.yml -o weights=https://paddledet.bj.bcebos.com/models/mot/jde_darknet53_30e_1088x608.pdparams --video_file={your video name}.mp4
