Convert and Optimize YOLOv7 with OpenVINO™

This Jupyter notebook can be launched after a local installation only.

Github

The YOLOv7 algorithm is making big waves in the computer vision and machine learning communities. It is a real-time object detection algorithm that performs image recognition tasks by taking an image as input and then predicting bounding boxes and class probabilities for each object in the image.

YOLO stands for “You Only Look Once”, it is a popular family of real-time object detection algorithms. The original YOLO object detector was first released in 2016. Since then, different versions and variants of YOLO have been proposed, each providing a significant increase in performance and efficiency. YOLOv7 is next stage of evolution of YOLO models family, which provides a greatly improved real-time object detection accuracy without increasing the inference costs. More details about its realization can be found in original model paper and repository

Real-time object detection is often used as a key component in computer vision systems. Applications that use real-time object detection models include video analytics, robotics, autonomous vehicles, multi-object tracking and object counting, medical image analysis, and many others.

This tutorial demonstrates step-by-step instructions on how to run and optimize PyTorch YOLO V7 with OpenVINO.

The tutorial consists of the following steps:

  • Prepare PyTorch model

  • Download and prepare dataset

  • Validate original model

  • Convert PyTorch model to ONNX

  • Convert ONNX model to OpenVINO IR

  • Validate converted model

  • Prepare and run optimization pipeline

  • Compare accuracy of the FP32 and quantized models.

  • Compare performance of the FP32 and quantized models.

Get Pytorch model

Generally, PyTorch models represent an instance of the torch.nn.Module class, initialized by a state dictionary with model weights. We will use the YOLOv7 tiny model pre-trained on a COCO dataset, which is available in this repo. Typical steps to obtain pre-trained model:

  1. Create instance of model class.

  2. Load checkpoint state dict, which contains pre-trained model weights.

  3. Turn model to evaluation for switching some operations to inference mode.

In this case, the model creators provide a tool that enables converting the YOLOv7 model to ONNX, so we do not need to do these steps manually.

Prerequisites

%pip install -q "openvino>=2023.1.0" "nncf>=2.5.0"

DEPRECATION: pytorch-lightning 1.6.5 has a non-standard dependency specifier torch>=1.8.*. pip 24.1 will enforce this behaviour change. A possible replacement is to upgrade to a newer version of pytorch-lightning or contact the author to suggest that they release a version with a conforming dependency specifiers. Discussion can be found at https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/12063

Note: you may need to restart the kernel to use updated packages.

The most important parameters:

  • --weights - path to model weights checkpoint

  • --img-size - size of input image for onnx tracing

When exporting the ONNX model from PyTorch, there is an opportunity to setup configurable parameters for including post-processing results in model:

  • --end2end - export full model to onnx including post-processing

  • --grid - export Detect layer as part of model

  • --topk-all - top k elements for all images

  • --iou-thres - intersection over union threshold for NMS

  • --conf-thres - minimal confidence threshold

  • --max-wh - max bounding box width and height for NMS

Including whole post-processing to model can help to achieve more performant results, but in the same time it makes the model less flexible and does not guarantee full accuracy reproducibility. It is the reason why we will add only --grid parameter to preserve original pytorch model result format. If you want to understand how to work with an end2end ONNX model, you can check this notebook.

Convert ONNX Model to OpenVINO Intermediate Representation (IR)

While ONNX models are directly supported by OpenVINO runtime, it can be useful to convert them to IR format to take the advantage of OpenVINO model conversion API features. The ov.convert_model python function of model conversion API can be used for converting the model. The function returns instance of OpenVINO Model class, which is ready to use in Python interface. However, it can also be save on device in OpenVINO IR format using ov.save_model for future execution.

import openvino as ov

model = ov.convert_model('model/yolov7-tiny.onnx')
# serialize model for saving IR
ov.save_model(model, 'model/yolov7-tiny.xml')

Verify model inference

To test model work, we create inference pipeline similar to detect.py. The pipeline consists of preprocessing step, inference of OpenVINO model, and results post-processing to get bounding boxes.

Model input is a tensor with the [1, 3, 640, 640] shape in N, C, H, W format, where

  • N - number of images in batch (batch size)

  • C - image channels

  • H - image height

  • W - image width

Model expects images in RGB channels format and normalized in [0, 1] range. To resize images to fit model size letterbox resize approach is used where the aspect ratio of width and height is preserved. It is defined in yolov7 repository.

To keep specific shape, preprocessing automatically enables padding.

    Returns:

Postprocessing

Model output contains detection boxes candidates. It is a tensor with the [1,25200,85] shape in the B, N, 85 format, where:

  • B - batch size

  • N - number of detection boxes

Detection box has the [x, y, h, w, box_score, class_no_1, …, class_no_80] format, where:

  • (x, y) - raw coordinates of box center

  • h, w - raw height and width of box

  • box_score - confidence of detection box

  • class_no_1, …, class_no_80 - probability distribution over the classes.

For getting final prediction, we need to apply non maximum suppression algorithm and rescale boxes coordinates to original image size.

Validation function reports following list of accuracy metrics:

  • Precision is the degree of exactness of the model in identifying only relevant objects.

  • Recall measures the ability of the model to detect all ground truths objects.

  • mAP@t - mean average precision, represented as area under the Precision-Recall curve aggregated over all classes in the dataset, where t is Intersection Over Union (IOU) threshold, degree of overlapping between ground truth and predicted objects. Therefore, mAP@.5 indicates that mean average precision calculated at 0.5 IOU threshold, mAP@.5:.95 - calculated on range IOU thresholds from 0.5 to 0.95 with step 0.05.

NNCF provides a suite of advanced algorithms for Neural Networks inference optimization in OpenVINO with minimal accuracy drop. We will use 8-bit quantization in post-training mode (without the fine-tuning pipeline) to optimize YOLOv7.

NOTE: NNCF Post-training Quantization is available as a preview feature in OpenVINO 2022.3 release. Fully functional support will be provided in the next releases.

The optimization process contains the following steps:

  1. Create a Dataset for quantization.

  2. Run nncf.quantize for getting an optimized model.

  3. Serialize an OpenVINO IR model, using the openvino.runtime.serialize function.

Reuse validation dataloader in accuracy testing for quantization. For that, it should be wrapped into the nncf.Dataset object and define transformation function for getting only input tensors.

import nncf  # noqa: F811


def transform_fn(data_item):
    """
    Quantization transform function. Extracts and preprocess input data from dataloader item for quantization.
    Parameters:
       data_item: Tuple with data item produced by DataLoader during iteration
    Returns:
        input_tensor: Input data for quantization
    """
    img = data_item[0].numpy()
    input_tensor = prepare_input_tensor(img)
    return input_tensor


quantization_dataset = nncf.Dataset(dataloader, transform_fn)

INFO:nncf:NNCF initialized successfully. Supported frameworks detected: torch, tensorflow, onnx, openvino

The nncf.quantize function provides interface for model quantization. It requires instance of OpenVINO Model and quantization dataset. Optionally, some additional parameters for configuration quantization process (number of samples for quantization, preset, ignored scope etc.) can be provided. YOLOv7 model contains non-ReLU activation functions, which require asymmetric quantization of activations. To achieve better result, we will use mixed quantization preset. It provides symmetric quantization of weights and asymmetric quantization of activations.

quantized_model = nncf.quantize(model, quantization_dataset, preset=nncf.QuantizationPreset.MIXED)

ov.save_model(quantized_model, 'model/yolov7-tiny_int8.xml')

As we can see, model accuracy slightly changed after quantization.
However, if we look at the output image, these changes are not
significant.






Compare Performance of the Original and Quantized Models


Finally, use the OpenVINO Benchmark
Tool
to measure the inference performance of the FP32 and INT8
models.




NOTE: For more accurate performance, it is recommended to run
benchmark_app in a terminal/command prompt after closing other
applications. Run benchmark_app -m model.xml -d CPU to benchmark
async inference on CPU for one minute. Change CPU to GPU to
benchmark on GPU. Run benchmark_app --help to see an overview of
all command-line options.
