Description

This code provides a framework to easily add architectures and datasets, in order to train and deploy CNNs for a robot. It contains a full training pipeline in python using Tensorflow and OpenCV, and it also some C++ apps to deploy a frozen protobuf in ROS and standalone. The C++ library is made in a way which allows to add other backends (such as TensorRT and MvNCS), but only Tensorflow and TensorRT are implemented for now. For now, we will keep it this way because we are mostly interested in deployment for the Jetson and Drive platforms, but if you have a specific need, we accept pull requests!

The networks included is based of of many other architectures (see below), but not exactly a copy of any of them. As seen in the videos, they run very fast in both GPU and CPU, and they are designed with performance in mind, at the cost of a slight accuracy loss. Feel free to use it as a model to implement your own architecture.

All scripts have been tested on the following configurations:

  • x86 Ubuntu 16.04 with an NVIDIA GeForce 940MX GPU (nvidia-384, CUDA9, CUDNN7, TF 1.7, TensorRT3)
  • x86 Ubuntu 16.04 with an NVIDIA GTX1080Ti GPU (nvidia-375, CUDA9, CUDNN7, TF 1.7, TensorRT3)
  • x86 Ubuntu 16.04 and 14.04 with no GPU (TF 1.7, running on CPU in NHWC mode, no TensorRT support)
  • Jetson TX2 (full Jetpack 3.2)

We also provide a Dockerfile to make it easy to run without worrying about the dependencies, which is based on the official nvidia/cuda image containing cuda9 and cudnn7. In order to build and run this image with support for X11 (to display the results), you can run this in the repo root directory (nvidia-docker should be used instead of vainilla docker):

  $ docker pull tano297/bonnet:cuda9-cudnn7-tf17-trt304
  $ nvidia-docker build -t bonnet .
  $ nvidia-docker run -ti --rm -e DISPLAY -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix -v $HOME/.Xauthority:/home/developer/.Xauthority -v /home/$USER/data:/shared --net=host --pid=host --ipc=host bonnet /bin/bash

-v /home/$USER/data:/share can be replaced to point to wherever you store the data and trained models, in order to include the data inside the container for inference/training.

Deployment

  • /deploy_cpp contains C++ code for deployment on robot of the full pipeline, which takes an image as input and produces the pixel-wise predictions as output, and the color masks (which depend on the problem). It includes both standalone operation which is meant as an example of usage and build, and a ROS node which takes a topic with an image and outputs 2 topics with the labeled mask and the colored labeled mask.

  • Readme here

Training

  • /train_py contains Python code to easily build CNN Graphs in Tensorflow, train, and generate the trained models used for deployment. This way the interface with Tensorflow can use the more complete Python API and we can easily work with files to augment datasets and so on. It also contains some apps for using models, which includes the ability to save and use a frozen protobuf, and to use the network using TensorRT, which reduces the time for inference when using NVIDIA GPUs.

Pre-trained models

These are some models trained on some sample datasets that you can use with the trainer and deployer, but if you want to take time to write the parsers for another dataset (yaml file with classes and colors + python script to put the data into the standard dataset format) feel free to create a pull request.

If you don't have GPUs and the task is interesting for robots to exploit, I will gladly train it whenever I have some free GPU time in our servers.

Our networks are strongly based on the following architectures, so if you use them for any academic work, please give a look at their papers and cite them if you think proper:

Other useful GitHub's:

  • OpenAI Checkpointed Gradients. Useful implementation of checkpointed gradients to be able to fit big models in GPU memory without sacrificing runtime.
  • Queueing tool: Very nice queueing tool to share GPU, CPU and Memory resources in a multi-GPU environment.
  • Tensorflow_cc: Very useful repo to compile Tensorflow either as a shared or static library using CMake, in order to be able to compile our C++ apps against it.

TODOs

  • Merge Crop-weed CNN with background knowledge into this repo.
  • Make multi-camera ROS node that exploits batching to make inference faster than sequentially.
  • Movidius Neural Stick C++ backends (plus others as they become available).
  • Inference node to show the classes selectively (e.g. with some qt visual GUI)
