Imperative Object Detection example - Pikachu Dataset

Object detection is a computer vision technique for locating instances of objects in images or videos. In this example, you can find an imperative implemention of an SSD model, and the way to train it using the Pikachu Dataset. The code for the example can be found in TrainPikachu.java. The code for the implementation of SSD can be found in SingleShotDetection.java.

There are no small datasets, like MNIST or Fashion-MNIST, in the object detection field. In order to quickly test models, you are using a small dataset of Pikachu images. It contains a series of background images on which a Pikachu image is placed at a random position. The Pikachu images are also generated in different angles and sizes.

Setup guide

Follow setup to configure your development environment.

Run SSD training example

Build the project and run it

The following command trains the model for 2 epochs. The trained model is saved in the following folder: build/model.

cd examples
./gradlew run -Dmain=ai.djl.examples.training.TrainPikachu

Your output should look like the following:

[INFO ] - Running TrainPikachu on: cpu(0), epoch: 2.

You can also run the example with your own arguments, for example, to train 5 epochs using batch size 64, and save it to a specified folder ssd_model:

cd examples
./gradlew run -Dmain=ai.djl.examples.training.TrainPikachu --args="-e 5 -b 64 -o ssd_model"

The following table shows the list of available arguments:

Argument Comments
-e Number of epochs to train.
-b Batch size to use for training.
-g Maximum number of GPUs to use. Default uses all detected GPUs.
-o Directory to save the trained model.

Run prediction

There is a predict method available in the TrainPikachu class. Just pass the directory of saved models and the path to the image for prediction. For example:

TrainPikachu trainPikachu = new TrainPikachu();
trainPikachu.predict("build/model", "src/test/resources/pikachu.jpg");
