Introduction

NanoDet is a FCOS-style one-stage anchor-free object detection model which using Generalized Focal Loss as classification and regression loss.

In NanoDet-Plus, we propose a novel label assignment strategy with a simple assign guidance module (AGM) and a dynamic soft label assigner (DSLA) to solve the optimal label assignment problem in lightweight model training. We also introduce a light feature pyramid called Ghost-PAN to enhance multi-layer feature fusion. These improvements boost previous NanoDet's detection accuracy by 7 mAP on COCO dataset.

ARM Performance is measured on Kirin 980(4xA76+4xA55) ARM CPU based on ncnn. You can test latency on your phone with ncnn_android_benchmark.
Intel CPU Performance is measured Intel Core-i7-8700 based on OpenVINO.
NanoDet mAP(0.5:0.95) is validated on COCO val2017 dataset with no testing time augmentation.
YOLOv3&YOLOv4 mAP refers from Scaled-YOLOv4: Scaling Cross Stage Partial Network.

Model Zoo

NanoDet supports variety of backbones. Go to the config folder to see the sample training config files.

How to Train

Prepare dataset

If your dataset annotations are pascal voc xml format, refer to config/nanodet_custom_xml_dataset.yml

Otherwise, if your dataset annotations are YOLO format (Darknet TXT), refer to config/nanodet-plus-m_416-yolo.yml

Or convert your dataset annotations to MS COCO format(COCO annotation format details).
Prepare config file

Copy and modify an example yml config file in config/ folder.

Change save_dir to where you want to save model.

Change num_classes in model->arch->head.

Change image path and annotation path in both data->train and data->val.

Set gpu ids, num workers and batch size in device to fit your device.

Set total_epochs, lr and lr_schedule according to your dataset and batchsize.

If you want to modify network, data augmentation or other things, please refer to Config File Detail
Start training

NanoDet is now using pytorch lightning for training.

For both single-GPU or multiple-GPUs, run:
```
python tools/train.py CONFIG_FILE_PATH
```
Visualize Logs

TensorBoard logs are saved in save_dir which you set in config file.

To visualize tensorboard logs, run:
```
cd <YOUR_SAVE_DIR>
tensorboard --logdir ./
```

How to Deploy

NanoDet provide multi-backend C++ demo including ncnn, OpenVINO and MNN. There is also an Android demo based on ncnn library.

Export model to ONNX

To convert NanoDet pytorch model to ncnn, you can choose this way: pytorch->onnx->ncnn

To export onnx model, run tools/export_onnx.py.
