How to compute CAMERAS maps?

In order to compute CAMERAS saliency map, we need to create an object of CAMERAS defined in CAMERAS.py. The constructor accepts three hyper-parameters.

• Particular model (Pytorch) over which the saliency map is to be evaluated
• The choice of the layer to for computation of gradients and activations
• The list of different resolutions of input

Lets first create and load the weights of a ImageNet pretrained model from torchvision package.

    # importing the models available in torchvision package
    import torchvision.models as models

    # Loading a pretrained ResNet-18 model in torchvision
    model = models.resnet18(pretrained=True)
    model.eval()
    model = model.cuda()

Once we have the model, we can select any of its layer and different resolutions to create CAMERAS object as below

    # import CAMERAS class
    from CAMERAS import CAMERAScompute

    # Creating CAMERAS object
    cameras = CAMERAS(model=model, targetLayerName="layer4", inputResolutions=[224, 324, 424, 524])

With the CAMERAS object and any image tensor (1xCxHxW), we can compute the saliency maps as below

    # compute saliency map for a image tensor and any label of interest
    saliencyMap = cameras.run(image, classOfInterest=243)

The above steps can be used to compute the saliency maps for any image and label of choice. At the moment, the current implementation can only compute the saliency map for a single image at time and does not offer batch support.

A complete example with image loading and saliency computation is given below.

Demo

import cv2
import torch
import torchvision.models as models
from CAMERAS import CAMERAS
from torchvision import transforms
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

normalizeTransform = transforms.Normalize(mean=[0.485, 0.456, 0.406], std=[0.229, 0.224, 0.225])
normalizeImageTransform = transforms.Compose([transforms.ToTensor(), normalizeTransform])

def loadImage(imagePath, imageSize):
    rawImage = cv2.imread(imagePath)compute
    rawImage = cv2.resize(rawImage, (224,) * 2, interpolation=cv2.INTER_LINEAR)
    rawImage = cv2.resize(rawImage, (imageSize,) * 2, interpolation=cv2.INTER_LINEAR)
    image = normalizeImageTransform(rawImage[..., ::-1].copy())
    return image, rawImage

if __name__ == '__main__':
    model = models.resnet18(pretrained=True)
    model.eval()
    model = model.cuda()

    cameras = CAMERAS(model, targetLayerName="layer4")
    file = "./cat_dog.png"

    image, rawImage = loadImage(file, imageSize=224)
    image = torch.unsqueeze(image, dim=0)

    saliencyMap = cameras.run(image, classOfInterest=243).cpu()
    plt.imshow(saliencyMap)
    plt.show()

A comprehensive example is available in demo.py script.

Announcements !!!

We have released the first version to compute CAMERAS maps in Keras. A complete demo code can be found in demoKeras.py.

Requirements

The code was tested over Ubuntu 18.04 with the following versions of packages

• tensorflow 2.4.1
• python 3.8.1
• matplotlib 3.1.3
• opencv 4.5.1
• numpy 1.18.1

How to compute CAMERAS maps?

In order to compute CAMERAS saliency map, we need to create an object of CAMERASKeras defined in KerasMap/CAMERASKeras.py. This can be done as below

    # import CAMERASKeras class
    from KerasMap.CAMERASKeras import CAMERASKeras

    # Creating CAMERASKeras object
    cameras = CAMERASKeras(modelArchitecture="ResNet50", targetLayerName="conv5_block3_out")

Saliency is then computed by calling run() that requires the path of image file and label of the class of interest.

    saliency = cameras.run(imagePath=ImagePath, classOfInterest=243)

A complete example is given below.

Demo

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from KerasMap.CAMERASKeras import CAMERASKeras

ImagePath = './cat_dog.png'
cameras = CAMERASKeras(modelArchitecture="ResNet50", targetLayerName="conv5_block3_out")
saliency = cameras.run(imagePath=ImagePath, classOfInterest=243)
plt.imshow(saliency)
plt.show()

Please check demoKeras.py for detailed example.
