This case provides a way for users to quickly build a lightweight, high-precision and practical classification model of wheather wearing safety helmet using PaddleClas PULC (Practical Ultra Lightweight Classification). The model can be widely used in construction scenes, factory workshop scenes, traffic scenes and so on.
The following table lists the relevant indicators of the model. The first two lines means that using SwinTransformer_tiny and MobileNetV3_small_x0_35 as the backbone to training. The third to seventh lines means that the backbone is replaced by PPLCNet, additional use of EDA strategy and additional use of EDA strategy and SKL-UGI knowledge distillation strategy.
Backbone | Tpr(%) | Latency(ms) | Size(M) | Training Strategy |
---|---|---|---|---|
SwinTranformer_tiny | 93.57 | 91.32 | 107 | using ImageNet pretrained model |
Res2Net200_vd_26w_4s | 98.92 | 80.99 | 284 | using ImageNet pretrained model |
MobileNetV3_small_x0_35 | 84.83 | 2.85 | 1.6 | using ImageNet pretrained model |
PPLCNet_x1_0 | 93.27 | 2.03 | 6.5 | using ImageNet pretrained model |
PPLCNet_x1_0 | 98.16 | 2.03 | 6.5 | using SSLD pretrained model |
PPLCNet_x1_0 | 99.30 | 2.03 | 6.5 | using SSLD pretrained model + EDA strategy |
PPLCNet_x1_0 | 99.38 | 2.03 | 6.5 | using SSLD pretrained model + EDA strategy + SKL-UGI knowledge distillation strategy |
It can be seen that high Tpr can be getted when backbone is Res2Net200_vd_26w_4s, but the speed is slow. Replacing backbone with the lightweight model MobileNetV3_small_x0_35, the speed can be greatly improved, but the Tpr will be greatly reduced. Replacing backbone with faster backbone PPLCNet_x1_0, the Tpr is higher more 8.5 percentage points than MobileNetv3_small_x0_35. At the same time, the speed can be more than 20% faster. After additional using the SSLD pretrained model, the Tpr can be improved by about 4.9 percentage points without affecting the inference speed. Further, additional using the EDA strategy, the Tpr can be increased by 1.1 percentage points. Finally, after additional using the UDML knowledge distillation, the Tpr can be further improved by 2.2 percentage points. At this point, the Tpr is higher than that of Res2Net200_vd_26w_4s, but the speed is more than 70 times faster. The training method and deployment instructions of PULC will be introduced in detail below.

- Prediction with CLI
paddleclas --model_name=safety_helmet --infer_imgs=pulc_demo_imgs/safety_helmet/safety_helmet_test_1.png
Results:
>>> result
class_ids: [1], scores: [0.9986255], label_names: ['unwearing_helmet'], filename: pulc_demo_imgs/safety_helmet/safety_helmet_test_1.png
Predict complete!
Note: If you want to test other images, only need to specify the --infer_imgs
argument, and the directory containing images is also supported.
- Prediction in Python
import paddleclas
model = paddleclas.PaddleClas(model_name="safety_helmet")
result = model.predict(input_data="pulc_demo_imgs/safety_helmet/safety_helmet_test_1.png")
print(next(result))
Note: The result
returned by model.predict()
is a generator, so you need to use the next()
function to call it or for
loop to loop it. And it will predict with batch_size
size batch and return the prediction results when called. The default batch_size
is 1, and you also specify the batch_size
when instantiating, such as model = paddleclas.PaddleClas(model_name="safety_helmet", batch_size=2)
. The result of demo above:
>>> result
[{'class_ids': [1], 'scores': [0.9986255], 'label_names': ['unwearing_helmet'], 'filename': 'pulc_demo_imgs/safety_helmet/safety_helmet_test_1.png'}]

All datasets used in this case are open source data. Train data is the subset of Safety-Helmet-Wearing-Dataset, hard-hat-detection and Large-scale CelebFaces Attributes (CelebA) Dataset.
The data used in this case can be getted by processing the open source data. The detailed processes are as follows:
Safety-Helmet-Wearing-Dataset
: according to the bbox label data, the image is cropped by enlarging width and height of bbox by 3 times. The label is 0 if wearing safety helmet in the image, and the label is 1 if not;hard-hat-detection
: Only use the image that labeled "hat" and crop it with bbox. The label is 0;CelebA
: Only use the image labeled "wearing_hat" and crop it with bbox. The label is 0;
After processing, the dataset totals about 150000 images, of which the number of images with and without wearing safety helmet is about 28000 and 121000 respectively. Then 5600 images are randomly selected in the two labels as the valuation data, a total of about 11200 images, and about 138000 other images as the training data.
Some image of the processed dataset is as follows:

The details of training config in ppcls/configs/PULC/person_exists/PPLCNet_x1_0.yaml
. The command about training as follows:
export CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1,2,3
python3 -m paddle.distributed.launch \
--gpus="0,1,2,3" \
tools/train.py \
-c ./ppcls/configs/PULC/safety_helmet/PPLCNet_x1_0.yaml
The best metric of validation data is between 0.985
and 0.993
. There would be fluctuations because the data size is small.
Note:
- The metric Tpr, that describe the True Positive Rate when False Positive Rate is less than a certain threshold(1/10000 used in this case), is one of the commonly used metric for binary classification. About the details of Fpr and Tpr, please refer here.
- When evaluation, the best metric TprAtFpr will be printed that include
Fpr
,Tpr
and the currentthreshold
. TheTpr
means the Recall rate under the currentFpr
. TheTpr
higher, the model better. Thethreshold
would be used in deployment, which means the classification threshold under bestFpr
metric.
After training, you can use the following commands to evaluate the model.
python3 tools/eval.py \
-c ./ppcls/configs/PULC/safety_helmet/PPLCNet_x1_0.yaml \
