TODO List

  • Model
    • ResNet-50
  • Loss
    • Triplet Global Loss
    • Triplet Local Loss
    • Identification Loss
    • Mutual Loss
  • Testing
    • Re-Ranking
  • Speed
    • Speed up forward & backward

Current Results

The triplet loss baseline on Market1501 with settings:

  • Train only on Market1501 (While the paper combines 4 datasets.)
  • Use only global distance, NOT normalizing feature to unit length, with margin 0.3
  • Adam optimizer, base learning rate 2e-4, decaying exponentially after 150 epochs. Train for 300 epochs in total.
Rank-1 (%) mAP (%) Rank-1 (%) after Re-ranking mAP (%) after Re-ranking
Triplet Loss 87.05 71.38 89.85 85.49
Triplet Loss + Mutual Loss 88.78 75.76 91.92 88.27

Other details of setting can be found in the code. To test my trained models or reproduce these results, see the Examples section.

Other results are only partially reproduced (see the Excel file AlignedReID-Scores.xlsx):

  • Adding Identification Loss to triplet loss only decreases performance.
  • Adding Local Distance only improves ~1 point.
  • Simply combining trainval sets of three datasets does not improves performance on Market1501 (CUHK03 and DukeMTMC-reID to be tested).

Resources

This repository contains following resources

  • A beginner-level dataset interface independent of Pytorch, Tensorflow, etc, supporting multi-thread prefetching (README file is under way)
  • Three most used ReID datasets, Market1501, CUHK03 (new protocol) and DukeMTMC-reID
  • Python version ReID evaluation code (Originally from open-reid)
  • Python version Re-ranking (Originally from re_ranking)
  • Triplet Loss training examples
  • Deep Mutual Learning examples
  • AlignedReID (performance stays tuned)

Installation

NOTE: This project now does NOT require installing, so if you has installed aligned_reid before, now you have to uninstall it by pip uninstall aligned-reid.

It's recommended that you create and enter a python virtual environment, if versions of the packages required here conflict with yours.

I use Python 2.7 and Pytorch 0.3. For installing Pytorch, follow the official guide. Other packages are specified in requirements.txt.

pip install -r requirements.txt

Then clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/huanghoujing/AlignedReID-Re-Production-Pytorch.git
cd AlignedReID-Re-Production-Pytorch

Dataset Preparation

Inspired by Tong Xiao's open-reid project, dataset directories are refactored to support a unified dataset interface.

Transformed dataset has following features

  • All used images, including training and testing images, are inside the same folder named images
  • Images are renamed, with the name mapping from original images to new ones provided in a file named ori_to_new_im_name.pkl. The mapping may be needed in some cases.
  • The train/val/test partitions are recorded in a file named partitions.pkl which is a dict with the following keys
    • 'trainval_im_names'
    • 'trainval_ids2labels'
    • 'train_im_names'
    • 'train_ids2labels'
    • 'val_im_names'
    • 'val_marks'
    • 'test_im_names'
    • 'test_marks'
  • Validation set consists of 100 persons (configurable during transforming dataset) unseen in training set, and validation follows the same ranking protocol of testing.
  • Each val or test image is accompanied by a mark denoting whether it is from
    • query (mark == 0), or
    • gallery (mark == 1), or
    • multi query (mark == 2) set

Combining Trainval Set of Market1501, CUHK03, DukeMTMC-reID

Larger training set tends to benefit deep learning models, so I combine trainval set of three datasets Market1501, CUHK03 and DukeMTMC-reID. After training on the combined trainval set, the model can be tested on three test sets as usual.

Transform three separate datasets as introduced above if you have not done it.

For the trainval set, you can download what I have transformed from Google Drive or BaiduYun. Otherwise, you can run the following script to combine the trainval sets, replacing the paths with yours.

python script/dataset/combine_trainval_sets.py \
--market1501_im_dir ~/Dataset/market1501/images \
--market1501_partition_file ~/Dataset/market1501/partitions.pkl \
--cuhk03_im_dir ~/Dataset/cuhk03/detected/images \
--cuhk03_partition_file ~/Dataset/cuhk03/detected/partitions.pkl \
--duke_im_dir ~/Dataset/duke/images \
--duke_partition_file ~/Dataset/duke/partitions.pkl \
--save_dir ~/Dataset/market1501_cuhk03_duke

Configure Dataset Path

The project requires you to configure the dataset paths. In aligned_reid/dataset/__init__.py, modify the following snippet according to your saving paths used in preparing datasets.

# In file aligned_reid/dataset/__init__.py

########################################
# Specify Directory and Partition File #
########################################

if name == 'market1501':
  im_dir = ospeu('~/Dataset/market1501/images')
  partition_file = ospeu('~/Dataset/market1501/partitions.pkl')

elif name == 'cuhk03':
  im_type = ['detected', 'labeled'][0]
  im_dir = ospeu(ospj('~/Dataset/cuhk03', im_type, 'images'))
  partition_file = ospeu(ospj('~/Dataset/cuhk03', im_type, 'partitions.pkl'))

elif name == 'duke':
  im_dir = ospeu('~/Dataset/duke/images')
  partition_file = ospeu('~/Dataset/duke/partitions.pkl')

elif name == 'combined':
  assert part in ['trainval'], \
    "Only trainval part of the combined dataset is available now."
  im_dir = ospeu('~/Dataset/market1501_cuhk03_duke/trainval_images')
  partition_file = ospeu('~/Dataset/market1501_cuhk03_duke/partitions.pkl')

Evaluation Protocol

Datasets used in this project all follow the standard evaluation protocol of Market1501, using CMC and mAP metric. According to open-reid, the setting of CMC is as follows

# In file aligned_reid/dataset/__init__.py

cmc_kwargs = dict(separate_camera_set=False,
                  single_gallery_shot=False,
                  first_match_break=True)

To play with different CMC options, you can modify it accordingly.

# In open-reid's reid/evaluators.py

# Compute all kinds of CMC scores
cmc_configs = {
  'allshots': dict(separate_camera_set=False,
                   single_gallery_shot=False,
                   first_match_break=False),
  'cuhk03': dict(separate_camera_set=True,
                 single_gallery_shot=True,
                 first_match_break=False),
  'market1501': dict(separate_camera_set=False,
                     single_gallery_shot=False,
                     first_match_break=True)}

Examples

ResNet-50 + Global Loss on Market1501

Training log and saved model weights can be downloaded from Google Drive or BaiduYun. Specify (1) an experiment directory for saving testing log and (2) the path of the downloaded model_weight.pth in the following command.

python script/experiment/train.py \
-d '(0,)' \
--dataset market1501 \
--normalize_feature false \
-glw 1 \
-llw 0 \
-idlw 0 \
--only_test true \
--exp_dir SPECIFY_AN_EXPERIMENT_DIRECTORY_HERE \
--model_weight_file THE_DOWNLOADED_MODEL_WEIGHT_FILE

You can also train it by yourself. The following command performs training and testing automatically.

python script/experiment/train.py \
-d '(0,)' \
-r 1 \
--dataset market1501 \
--ids_per_batch 32 \
--ims_per_id 4 \
--normalize_feature false \

Log

During training, you can run the TensorBoard and access port 6006 to watch the loss curves etc. E.g.

# Modify the path for `--logdir` accordingly.
tensorboard --logdir YOUR_EXPERIMENT_DIRECTORY/tensorboard

For more usage of TensorBoard, see the website and the help:

tensorboard --help

Time and Space Consumption

Test with CentOS 7, Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2618L v3 @ 2.30GHz, GeForce GTX TITAN X.

Note that the following time consumption is not gauranteed across machines, especially when the system is busy.

GPU Consumption in Training

For following settings

  • ResNet-50
  • identities_per_batch = 32, images_per_identity = 4, images_per_batch = 32 x 4 = 128
  • image size h x w = 256 x 128

it occupies ~9600MB GPU memory. For mutual learning that involves N models, it occupies N GPUs each with ~9600MB GPU memory.

If not having a GPU larger than 9600MB, you have to either decrease identities_per_batch or use multiple GPUs.

Training Time

Taking Market1501 as an example, it contains 31969 training images of 751 identities, thus 1 epoch = 751 / 32 = 24 iterations. Each iteration takes ~1.08s, so each epoch ~27s. Training for 300 epochs takes ~2.25 hours.

For training with mutual loss, we use multi threads to achieve parallel network forwarding and backwarding. Each iteration takes ~1.46s, each epoch ~35s. Training for 300 epochs takes ~2.92 hours. (Time consumption may vibrate a lot, not solved.)

Local distance is implemented in a parallel manner, thus adding local loss does not increase training time obviously, even when local hard samples are searched from local distance (instead of from global distance).

Testing Time

Taking Market1501 as an example

  • With images_per_batch = 32, extracting feature of whole test set (12936 images) takes ~80s.
  • Computing query-gallery global distance, the result is a 3368 x 15913 matrix, ~2s
  • Computing query-gallery local distance, the result is a 3368 x 15913 matrix, ~140s
  • Computing CMC and mAP scores, ~15s
  • Re-ranking requires computing query-query distance (a 3368 x 3368 matrix) and gallery-gallery distance (a 15913 x 15913 matrix, most time-consuming), ~80s for global distance, ~800s for local distance
