Mask R-CNN for Object Detection and Segmentation

This is an implementation of Mask R-CNN on Python 3, Keras, and TensorFlow based on Matterport's version. The model generates bounding boxes and segmentation masks for each instance of an object in the image, with Feature Pyramid Network (FPN) + ResNet-101 as backbones.

Features:

• Mask R-CNN implementation built on TensorFlow and Keras.
• Model training with data augmentation and various configuration.
• Custom mAP callback during the training process for initial evaluation.
• Training with 5-fold cross-validation strategy.
• Evaluation with mean Average Precision (mAP) on COCO metric [email protected]:.05:.95 and PASCAL VOC metric [email protected]. For more information, read here.
• Jupyter notebooks examples to visualize the detection pipeline at every step and understand more about Mask R-CNN.
• Convert predicted results to the VGG annotation format to expand the dataset for further training. Achieved a finer, more accurate mask with less labeling time than by handwork (~3 quarters in large-scale).
  • For instance, the comparison between the annotated mask by handwork (left) and by model's prediction (right)

Structure:

It is recommended to organize the dataset folder, testing image/video folder and model weight under same folder as the below structure:

Usage:

• Conda environment setup:

      conda env create -f environment.yml
      conda activate mask-rcnn

• Training:

  * Train a new model starting from pre-trained weights
      python3 training.py --dataset=/path/to/dataset --weight=/path/to/pretrained/weight.h5
  
  * Resume training a model
      python3 training.py --dataset=/path/to/dataset --continue_train=/path/to/latest/weights.h5

• Evaluating:

  python3 evaluation.py --dataset=/path/to/dataset --weights=/path/to/pretrained/weight.h5

• Testing

  * Image
      python3 image_detection.py --dataset=/path/to/dataset --weights=/path/to/pretrained/weight.h5 --image=/path/to/image/directory
  
  * Video (update weight path and dataset path in mrcnn.visualize_cv2)
      python3 video_detection.py --video_path = /path/to/testing/video/dir/
  

• Annotation generating:

  python3 annotating_generation.py --dataset=/path/to/dataset --weights=/path/to/pretrained/weight.h5 --image=/path/to/image/directory
  

• View training plot:

  tensorboard --logdir=logs/path/to/trained/dir
  

Annotation format:

Annotated image for this implementation is created by VGG Image Annotator with format structure:

{ 'filename': '<image_name>.jpg',
           'regions': {
               '0': {
                   'region_attributes': {},
                   'shape_attributes': {
                       'all_points_x': [...],
                       'all_points_y': [...],
                       'name': <class_name>}},
               ... more regions ...
           },
           'size': <image_size>
}

Notes:

• This implementation is well worked under TensorFlow 1.14.0, Keras 2.2.5, Cuda 10.0.130 and CuDNN 7.6.5
• dataset.py must be modify for other custom dataset.
• Futher training parameters configuration can be read in here.
• Pre-trained weight on COCO: download here and place it in trained_weight\
