We use the environment same to DINO to run Lite-DINO. If you have run DINO, you can skip this step.
We test our models under python=3.7.3,pytorch=1.9.0,cuda=11.1
. Other versions might be available as well.
Clone this repo
git https://github.com/IDEA-Research/Lite-DETR
cd Lite-DETR
Install Pytorch and torchvision
Follow the instruction on https://pytorch.org/get-started/locally/.
# an example:
conda install -c pytorch pytorch torchvision
Install other needed packages
pip install -r requirements.txt
Compiling CUDA operators
cd models/dino/ops
python setup.py build install
# unit test (should see all checking is True)
python test.py
cd ../../..
Please download COCO 2017 dataset and organize them as following:
COCODIR/
├── train2017/
├── val2017/
└── annotations/
├── instances_train2017.json
└── instances_val2017.json
Download our DINO model checkpoint links in above table and perform the command below.
python -m torch.distributed.launch main.py \
--eval -c config/DINO/DINO_4scale.py --coco_path /path/to/your/COCODIR \
--options num_expansion=a enc_scale=b --resume /path/to/ckpt
Note: for Lite-DINO-H2L2-(2+1)x3, a=3, b=1.
for Lite-DINO-H3L1-(6+1)x1, a=1, b=3.
for Lite-DINO-H2L2-(3+1)x3, a=3, b=3.
Add --benchmark --benchmark_only
at the end of the above command to measure the GFLOPs.
We did not provide cuda implementation for the key-aware deformable attention (KDA), so the training and inference speed is slow. As KDA mainly impacts the performance of small objects, you can use the original deformable attention instead by setting key_aware=False
in the config. The overall performance will be not significantly impacted.
Concurrent work RT-DETR also adopts similar idea to handle high-resolution maps and other speed improvements. It is optimized well in running speed, so we encourage you to use RT-DETR for practical scenarios.
You can also train our model on a single process:
python -m torch.distributed.launch main.py \
-c config/DINO/DINO_4scale.py --coco_path /path/to/your/COCODIR \
--options num_expansion=a enc_scale=b
However, as the training is time consuming, we suggest to train the model on multi-gpu.
python -m torch.distributed.launch --nproc_per_node=8 main.py \
-c config/DINO/DINO_4scale.py --coco_path /path/to/your/COCODIR \
--options num_expansion=a enc_scale=b
