centerNet + deep sort with pytorch

This is multi-people tracking code ( centerNet[1] version of yolov + deepsort[2] ), which implemented on CUDA 9.0, ubuntu 16.04, and Anaconda python 3.6. We used CenterNet for real-time object tracking.

Install

conda env create -f CenterNet.yml
pip install -r requirments.txt

Quick Start

1. Change CENTERNET_ROOT to your local directory in demo_centernet_deepsort.py.

CENTERNET_PATH = 'CENTERNET_ROOT/CenterNet/src/lib/'

to

e.g) CENTERNET_PATH = '/home/kyy/centerNet-deep-sort/CenterNet/src/lib/'

2. Run demo

Using sample video, we can track multi person.

python demo_centernet_deepsort.py

for webcam, modify two lines

opt.input_type = 'webcam'
//webcam device number 
opt.webcam_ind = 0 

for ip camera, modify three lines

opt.input_type = 'ipcam'
//ip camera url (this is DAHUA camera format)
opt.ipcam_url = 'rtsp://{0}:{1}@IPAddress:554/cam/realmonitor?channel={2}&subtype=1'
//ipcamera camera number
opt.ipcam_no = 1

and create a login file ('cam_secret.txt') containing a camera ID and password
for example,

kim  
1234

In test step, we used 'ctdet_coco_dla_2x.pth' model in centernet model zoo.
Change two lines if want to use another model(e.g resdcn18.pth).

#MODEL_PATH = './CenterNet/models/ctdet_coco_dla_2x.pth'
#ARCH = 'dla_34'

to

MODEL_PATH = './CenterNet/models/ctdet_coco_resdcn18.pth'
ARCH = 'resdcn_18'

Model Performance

Speed comparison (centerNet vs yolov3)

GPU : one 1080ti 11G

(Left) CenterNet based tracker: fps 18~23 (vis_thresh=0.5) / (Rright) original yolov3 version[2] : fps 11-12 (conf_thresh=0.5, nms_thresh=0.4)

For ctdet_coco_resdcn18 model, fps is 30~35 (vis_thresh=0.5).

Optionally, using this threading module[4] can slightly improves fps (plus less than 1 fps).

pip install imutils

and modified read and more fuction in filevideostream.py as below.

def read(self):
	return self.Q.get(block=True, timeout=2.0)

def more(self):
	#return True if there are still frames in the queue. If stream is not stopped, try to wait a moment
	return not self.stopped

python demo_centernet_deepsort_thread.py

Person detection evalution

coco API provides the mAP evaluation code on coco dataset. So we changed that code slightly to evaluate AP for person class (line 458-464 in 'cocoapi/PythonAPI/pycocotools/cocoeval.py' same as 'tools/cocoeval.py').

The result is as below.

dataset : coco 2017 train / val.
model : ctdet_coco_resdcn18 model

category : 0 : 0.410733757610904 #person AP
category : 1 : 0.20226150054237374 #bird AP
....
category : 79 : 0.04993736566987926
Average Precision (AP) @[ IoU=0.50:0.95 | area= all | maxDets=100 ] = 0.280 #original

AP50 comparsion

model	(person) AP50	(all classes) AP50
ctdet_coco_dla_2x	77.30	55.13
ctdet_coco_resdcn18	68.24	44.9
*yolov3 416	66.99	49.02

*we train and evaluate yolov3 model using coco 2017 train / val dataset and AlexeyAB/darknet code (iteration number : 200K , avg loss : 2.8xx, batch size: 64, subdivision : 16 // in case of 161K (2000 x 80 class) model, AP50 is 65.02 (person) / 48.54 (all classes)).
