Performance

Precision, flops and infer time are all evaluated on VGA resolution.

Original-Size(scale1.0)	-	90.91	89.49	82.03

precision and infer time are evaluated on AMD Ryzen 9 3950X, using the simple PyTorch CPU inference by setting OMP_NUM_THREADS=1 (no mkldnn).

Installation

Please refer to mmdetection for installation.

Install mmcv. (mmcv-full==1.2.6 and 1.3.3 was tested)

Install build requirements and then install mmdet.

pip install -r requirements/build.txt
pip install -v -e .  # or "python setup.py develop"

Data preparation

WIDERFace:

Download WIDERFace datasets and put it under data/retinaface.
Download annotation files from gdrive and put them under data/retinaface/

  data/retinaface/
      train/
          images/
          labelv2.txt
      val/
          images/
          labelv2.txt
          gt/
              *.mat

Annotation Format

please refer to labelv2.txt for detail

For each image:

# <image_path> image_width image_height
bbox_x1 bbox_y1 bbox_x2 bbox_y2 (<keypoint,3>*N)
...
...
# <image_path> image_width image_height
bbox_x1 bbox_y1 bbox_x2 bbox_y2 (<keypoint,3>*N)
...
...

Keypoints can be ignored if there is bbox annotation only.

Training

Example training command, with 4 GPUs:

CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES="0,1,2,3" PORT=29701 bash ./tools/dist_train.sh ./configs/scrfd/scrfd_1g.py 4

WIDERFace Evaluation

We use a pure python evaluation script without Matlab.

GPU=0
GROUP=scrfd
TASK=scrfd_2.5g
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES="$GPU" python -u tools/test_widerface.py ./configs/"$GROUP"/"$TASK".py ./work_dirs/"$TASK"/model.pth --mode 0 --out wouts

mAP, FLOPs and inference latency are all evaluated on VGA resolution. _KPS means the model includes 5 keypoints prediction.

Convert to ONNX

Please refer to tools/scrfd2onnx.py

Generated onnx model can accept dynamic input as default.

You can also set specific input shape by pass --shape 640 640, then output onnx model can be optimized by onnx-simplifier.

Inference

Please refer to tools/scrfd.py which uses onnxruntime to do inference.

Network Search

For two-steps search as we described in paper, we target hard mAP on how we select best candidate models.

We provide an example for searching SCRFD-2.5GF in this repo as below.

For searching backbones:
```
python search_tools/generate_configs_2.5g.py --mode 1
```
Where mode==1 means searching backbone only. For other parameters, please check the code.
After step-1 done, there will be configs/scrfdgen2.5g/scrfdgen2.5g_1.py to configs/scrfdgen2.5g/scrfdgen2.5g_64.py if num_configs is set to 64.
Do training for every generated configs for 80 epochs, please check search_tools/search_train.sh
Test WIDERFace precision for every generated configs, using search_tools/search_test.sh.
Select the top accurate config as the base template(assume the 10-th config is the best), then do the overall network search.
```
python search_tools/generate_configs_2.5g.py --mode 2 --template 10
```
Test these new generated configs again and select the top accurate one(s).
