Description

With the operator create_dl_model_detectioncreate_dl_model_detectionCreateDlModelDetectionCreateDlModelDetectionCreateDlModelDetection a deep learning network for object detection is created. See the chapter Deep Learning / Object Detection for further information on object detection based on deep learning. The handle of this network is returned in DLModelHandleDLModelHandleDLModelHandleDLModelHandleDLModelHandle.

You can specify your model and its architecture over the parameters listed below. To successfully create a detection model, you need to specify its backbone and the number of classes the model shall be able to distinguish. The first information is handed over through the parameter BackboneBackboneBackboneBackbonebackbone which is explained below in the section “Possible Backbones”. The second information is given through the parameter NumClassesNumClassesNumClassesNumClassesnumClasses. Note, this parameter fixes the number of classes the network will distinguish and therewith also the number of entries in 'class_ids'"class_ids""class_ids""class_ids""class_ids".

The values of all other applicable parameters can be specified using the dictionary DLModelDetectionParamDLModelDetectionParamDLModelDetectionParamDLModelDetectionParamDLModelDetectionParam. Such a parameter is e.g., the 'instance_type'"instance_type""instance_type""instance_type""instance_type", determining which kind of bounding boxes the model handles. The full list of parameters that can be set is given below in the section “Settable Parameters”. In case a parameter is not specified, the default value is taken to create the model. Note, parameters influencing the network architecture will not be changeable anymore once the network has been created.

All the other parameters can still be set or changed using the operator set_dl_model_paramset_dl_model_paramSetDlModelParamSetDlModelParamSetDlModelParam. An overview, how parameters can be set is given in get_dl_model_paramget_dl_model_paramGetDlModelParamGetDlModelParamGetDlModelParam, where also a description of the specific parameters is provided. After creating the object detection model, the typetypetypetypetype will automatically be set to 'detection'"detection""detection""detection""detection".

Possible Backbones

The parameter BackboneBackboneBackboneBackbonebackbone determines the backbone your network will use. See the chapter Deep Learning / Object Detection for more information to the backbone. In short, the backbone consists of a pretrained classifier, from which only the layers necessary to generate the feature maps are kept. Hence, there are no fully connected layers anymore in the network. This implies that you read in a classifier as feature extractor for the subsequent detection network. For this you can read in a classifier in the HALCON format or a model or in the ONNX format, see read_dl_modelread_dl_modelReadDlModelReadDlModelReadDlModel for more information.

create_dl_model_detectioncreate_dl_model_detectionCreateDlModelDetectionCreateDlModelDetectionCreateDlModelDetection attaches the feature pyramid on different levels of the backbone. More precisely, the backbone has for different levels a layer specified as docking layer. When creating a detection model, the feature pyramid is attached on the corresponding docking layer. The pretrained classifiers provided by HALCON have already specified docking layers. But when you use a self-provided classifier as backbone, you have to specify them yourself. You can set backbone_docking_layersbackbone_docking_layersbackbone_docking_layersbackbone_docking_layersbackboneDockingLayers as part of the classifier using the operator set_dl_model_paramset_dl_model_paramSetDlModelParamSetDlModelParamSetDlModelParam or the backbone as such using this operator.

The docking layers are from different levels and therefore the feature maps used in the feature pyramid are of different size. More precisely, in the feature pyramid the feature map lengths are halved with every level. By implication, the input image lengths need to be halved for every level. This means, the network architectures allow changes concerning the image dimensions, but the dimensions 'image_width'"image_width""image_width""image_width""image_width" and 'image_height'"image_height""image_height""image_height""image_height" need to be an integer multiple of . Here, is the highest level up to which the feature pyramid is built. This value depends on the attached networks as well as on the docking layers. For the provided classifiers the list below mentions, up to which levels the feature pyramid is built using default settings.

HALCON provides the following pretrained classifiers you can read in as backbone:

'pretrained_dl_classifier_alexnet.hdl'"pretrained_dl_classifier_alexnet.hdl""pretrained_dl_classifier_alexnet.hdl""pretrained_dl_classifier_alexnet.hdl""pretrained_dl_classifier_alexnet.hdl":

This neural network is designed for simple classification tasks. It is characterized by its convolution kernels in the first convolution layers, which are larger than in other networks with comparable classification performance (e.g., 'pretrained_dl_classifier_compact.hdl'"pretrained_dl_classifier_compact.hdl""pretrained_dl_classifier_compact.hdl""pretrained_dl_classifier_compact.hdl""pretrained_dl_classifier_compact.hdl"). This may be beneficial for feature extraction.

This backbone expects the images to be of the type 'real'"real""real""real""real". Additionally, the backbone is designed for certain image properties. The corresponding values can be retrieved with get_dl_model_paramget_dl_model_paramGetDlModelParamGetDlModelParamGetDlModelParam. Here we list the default values with which the classifier has been trained:

'image_width': 224

'image_height': 224

'image_num_channels': 3

'image_range_min': -127

'image_range_max': 128

The default feature pyramid built on this backbone goes up to level 4.

'pretrained_dl_classifier_enhanced.hdl'"pretrained_dl_classifier_enhanced.hdl""pretrained_dl_classifier_enhanced.hdl""pretrained_dl_classifier_enhanced.hdl""pretrained_dl_classifier_enhanced.hdl":

This neural network has more hidden layers than 'pretrained_dl_classifier_compact.hdl'"pretrained_dl_classifier_compact.hdl""pretrained_dl_classifier_compact.hdl""pretrained_dl_classifier_compact.hdl""pretrained_dl_classifier_compact.hdl" and is therefore assumed to be better suited for more complex tasks. But this comes at the cost of being more time and memory demanding.

'pretrained_dl_classifier_resnet50.hdl'"pretrained_dl_classifier_resnet50.hdl""pretrained_dl_classifier_resnet50.hdl""pretrained_dl_classifier_resnet50.hdl""pretrained_dl_classifier_resnet50.hdl":

As the network 'pretrained_dl_classifier_enhanced.hdl'"pretrained_dl_classifier_enhanced.hdl""pretrained_dl_classifier_enhanced.hdl""pretrained_dl_classifier_enhanced.hdl""pretrained_dl_classifier_enhanced.hdl", this network is suited for more complex tasks. But its structure differs, bringing the advantage of making the training more stable and being internally more robust.
