## 1. Introduction
Layout analysis refers to the regional division of documents in the form of pictures and the positioning of key areas, such as text, title, table, picture, etc. The layout analysis algorithm is based on the lightweight model PP-picodet of [PaddleDetection]( https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/PaddleDetection )
## 2. Quick start
PP-Structure currently provides layout analysis models in Chinese, English and table documents. For the model link, see [models_list](../docs/models_list_en.md). The whl package is also provided for quick use, see [quickstart](../docs/quickstart_en.md) for details.

## 5. Start training
Training scripts, evaluation scripts, and prediction scripts are provided, and the PubLayNet pre-training model is used as an example in this section.
If you do not want training and directly experience the following process of model evaluation, prediction, motion to static, and inference, you can download the provided pre-trained model (PubLayNet dataset) and skip this part.
```
mkdir pretrained_model
cd pretrained_model
# Download PubLayNet pre-training model（Direct experience model evaluates, predicts, and turns static）
wget https://paddleocr.bj.bcebos.com/ppstructure/models/layout/picodet_lcnet_x1_0_fgd_layout.pdparams
# Download the PubLaynet inference model（Direct experience model reasoning）
wget https://paddleocr.bj.bcebos.com/ppstructure/models/layout/picodet_lcnet_x1_0_fgd_layout_infer.tar
```
If the test image is Chinese, the pre-trained model of Chinese CDLA dataset can be downloaded to identify 10 types of document regions：Table, Figure, Figure caption, Table, Table caption, Header, Footer, Reference, Equation，Download the training model and inference model of Model 'picodet_lcnet_x1_0_fgd_layout_cdla' in [layout analysis model](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/PaddleOCR/blob/dygraph/ppstructure/docs/models_list.md)。If only the table area in the image is detected, you can download the pre-trained model of the table dataset, and download the training model and inference model of the 'picodet_LCnet_x1_0_FGd_layout_table' model in [Layout Analysis model](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/PaddleOCR/blob/dygraph/ppstructure/docs/models_list.md)
### 5.1. Train
Train:
* Modify Profile
If you want to train your own data set, you need to modify the data configuration and the number of categories in the configuration file.
Using 'configs/picodet/legacy_model/application/layout_analysis/picodet_lcnet_x1_0_layout.yml' as an example, the change is as follows:
```yaml
metric: COCO
# Number of categories
num_classes: 5
TrainDataset:
!COCODataSet
# Modify to your own training data directory
image_dir: train
# Modify to your own training data label file
anno_path: train.json
# Modify to your own training data root directory
dataset_dir: /root/publaynet/
data_fields: ['image', 'gt_bbox', 'gt_class', 'is_crowd']
EvalDataset:
!COCODataSet
# Modify to your own validation data directory
image_dir: val
# Modify to your own validation data label file
anno_path: val.json
# Modify to your own validation data root
dataset_dir: /root/publaynet/
TestDataset:
!ImageFolder
# Modify to your own test data label file
anno_path: /root/publaynet/val.json
```
* Start training. During training, PP picodet pre training model will be downloaded by default. There is no need to download in advance.
```bash
# GPU training supports single-card and multi-card training
# The training log is automatically saved to the log directory
# Single card training
export CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0
python3 tools/train.py \
-c configs/picodet/legacy_model/application/layout_analysis/picodet_lcnet_x1_0_layout.yml \
--eval
# Multi-card training, with the -- GPUS parameter specifying the card number
export CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1,2,3
python3 -m paddle.distributed.launch --gpus '0,1,2,3' tools/train.py \
-c configs/picodet/legacy_model/application/layout_analysis/picodet_lcnet_x1_0_layout.yml \
--eval
```
**Attention：**If the video memory is out during training, adjust Batch_size in TrainReader and base_LR in LearningRate. The published config is obtained by 8-card training. If the number of GPU cards is changed to 1, then the base_LR needs to be reduced by 8 times.
After starting training normally, you will see the following log output:
```
[08/15 04:02:30] ppdet.utils.checkpoint INFO: Finish loading model weights: /root/.cache/paddle/weights/LCNet_x1_0_pretrained.pdparams
[08/15 04:02:46] ppdet.engine INFO: Epoch: [0] [ 0/1929] learning_rate: 0.040000 loss_vfl: 1.216707 loss_bbox: 1.142163 loss_dfl: 0.544196 loss: 2.903065 eta: 17 days, 13:50:26 batch_cost: 15.7452 data_cost: 2.9112 ips: 1.5243 images/s

```
- `--eval` indicates that the best model is saved as `output/picodet_lcnet_x1_0_layout/best_accuracy` by default during the evaluation process 。
**Note that the configuration file for prediction / evaluation must be consistent with the training.**
### 5.2. FGD Distillation Training
PaddleDetection supports FGD-based [Focal and Global Knowledge Distillation for Detectors]( https://arxiv.org/abs/2111.11837v1) The training process of the target detection model of distillation, FGD distillation is divided into two parts `Focal` and `Global`. `Focal` Distillation separates the foreground and background of the image, allowing the student model to focus on the key pixels of the foreground and background features of the teacher model respectively;` Global`Distillation section reconstructs the relationships between different pixels and transfers them from the teacher to the student to compensate for the global information lost in `Focal`Distillation.
Change the dataset and modify the data configuration and number of categories in the [TODO] configuration, referring to 4.1. Start training:
```bash
# Single Card Training
export CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0
python3 tools/train.py \
-c configs/picodet/legacy_model/application/layout_analysis/picodet_lcnet_x1_0_layout.yml \
--slim_config configs/picodet/legacy_model/application/layout_analysis/picodet_lcnet_x2_5_layout.yml \
--eval
```
- `-c`: Specify the model configuration file.
- `--slim_config`: Specify the compression policy profile.
## 6. Model evaluation and prediction
### 6.1. Indicator evaluation
Model parameters in training are saved by default in `output/picodet_ Lcnet_ X1_ 0_ Under the layout` directory. When evaluating indicators, you need to set `weights` to point to the saved parameter file.Assessment datasets can be accessed via `configs/picodet/legacy_ Model/application/layout_ Analysis/picodet_ Lcnet_ X1_ 0_ Layout. Yml` . Modify `EvalDataset` : `img_dir`,`anno_ Path`and`dataset_dir` setting.
```bash
# GPU evaluation, weights as weights to be measured
python3 tools/eval.py \
-c configs/picodet/legacy_model/application/layout_analysis/picodet_lcnet_x1_0_layout.yml \
-o weights=./output/picodet_lcnet_x1_0_layout/best_model
```
The following information will be printed out, such as mAP, AP0.5, etc.
```py
Average Precision (AP) @[ IoU=0.50:0.95 | area= all | maxDets=100 ] = 0.935
Average Precision (AP) @[ IoU=0.50 | area= all | maxDets=100 ] = 0.979

```
If you use the provided pre-training model for evaluation or the FGD distillation training model, replace the `weights` model path and execute the following command for evaluation:
```
python3 tools/eval.py \
-c configs/picodet/legacy_model/application/layout_analysis/picodet_lcnet_x1_0_layout.yml \
--slim_config configs/picodet/legacy_model/application/layout_analysis/picodet_lcnet_x2_5_layout.yml \
-o weights=output/picodet_lcnet_x2_5_layout/best_model
```
- `-c`: Specify the model configuration file.
- `--slim_config`: Specify the distillation policy profile.
- `-o weights`: Specify the model path trained by the distillation algorithm.
### 6.2. Test Layout Analysis Results
The profile predicted to be used must be consistent with the training, for example, if you pass `python3 tools/train'. Py-c configs/picodet/legacy_ Model/application/layout_ Analysis/picodet_ Lcnet_ X1_ 0_ Layout. Yml` completed the training process for the model.
With trained PaddleDetection model, you can use the following commands to make model predictions.
```bash
python3 tools/infer.py \
-c configs/picodet/legacy_model/application/layout_analysis/picodet_lcnet_x1_0_layout.yml \
-o weights='output/picodet_lcnet_x1_0_layout/best_model.pdparams' \
--infer_img='docs/images/layout.jpg' \
--output_dir=output_dir/ \
--draw_threshold=0.5
```
- `--infer_img`: Reasoning for a single picture can also be done via `--infer_ Dir`Inform all pictures in the file.
- `--output_dir`: Specify the path to save the visualization results.
- `--draw_threshold`:Specify the NMS threshold for drawing the result box.
If you use the provided pre-training model for prediction or the FGD distillation training model, change the `weights` model path and execute the following command to make the prediction:
```
python3 tools/infer.py \
-c configs/picodet/legacy_model/application/layout_analysis/picodet_lcnet_x1_0_layout.yml \
--slim_config configs/picodet/legacy_model/application/layout_analysis/picodet_lcnet_x2_5_layout.yml \
-o weights='output/picodet_lcnet_x2_5_layout/best_model.pdparams' \
--infer_img='docs/images/layout.jpg' \
--output_dir=output_dir/ \
--draw_threshold=0.5
```
## 7. Model Export and Inference
### 7.1 Model Export
The inference model (the model saved by `paddle.jit.save`) is generally a solidified model saved after the model training is completed, and is mostly used to give prediction in deployment.
The model saved during the training process is the checkpoints model, which saves the parameters of the model and is mostly used to resume training.
Compared with the checkpoints model, the inference model will additionally save the structural information of the model. Therefore, it is easier to deploy because the model structure and model parameters are already solidified in the inference model file, and is suitable for integration with actual systems.
Layout analysis model to inference model steps are as follows：
```bash
python3 tools/export_model.py \
-c configs/picodet/legacy_model/application/layout_analysis/picodet_lcnet_x1_0_layout.yml \
-o weights=output/picodet_lcnet_x1_0_layout/best_model \
--output_dir=output_inference/
```
* If no post-export processing is required, specify：`-o export.benchmark=True`（If -o already exists, delete -o here）
* If you do not need to export NMS, specify：`-o export.nms=False`
After successful conversion, there are three files in the directory:
```
output_inference/picodet_lcnet_x1_0_layout/
├── model.pdiparams # inference Parameter file for model
├── model.pdiparams.info # inference Model parameter information, ignorable
└── model.pdmodel # inference Model Structure File for Model
```
If you change the `weights` model path using the provided pre-training model to the Inference model, or using the FGD distillation training model, the model to inference model steps are as follows:
```bash
python3 tools/export_model.py \
-c configs/picodet/legacy_model/application/layout_analysis/picodet_lcnet_x1_0_layout.yml \
--slim_config configs/picodet/legacy_model/application/layout_analysis/picodet_lcnet_x2_5_layout.yml \
-o weights=./output/picodet_lcnet_x2_5_layout/best_model \
--output_dir=output_inference/
```
### 7.2 Model inference
Replace model_with the provided inference training model for inference or the FGD distillation training `model_dir`Inference model path, execute the following commands for inference:
```bash
python3 deploy/python/infer.py \
--model_dir=output_inference/picodet_lcnet_x1_0_layout/ \
--image_file=docs/images/layout.jpg \
--device=CPU
```
- --device：Specify the GPU or CPU device
When model inference is complete, you will see the following log output:
```
