YOLOv5/v7/v8改进实验（五）之使用timm更换YOLOv5模型主干网络Backbone篇

---

🚀🚀 前言 🚀🚀

timm 库实现了最新的几乎所有的具有影响力的视觉模型，它不仅提供了模型的权重，还提供了一个很棒的分布式训练和评估的代码框架，方便后人开发。更难能可贵的是它还在不断地更新迭代新的训练方法，新的视觉模型和优化代码。本章主要介绍如何使用timm替换YOLO系列的主干网络。

一、timm

官方链接：pytorch-image-models

Pytorch Image Models (timm) 整合了常用的models, layers, utilities, optimizers, schedulers, data-loaders / augmentations, and reference training / validation scripts，它的目的是将各种SOTA模型整合在一起，并具有再现ImageNet训练结果的能力。

1.1 安装

timm环境的安装非常简单，pip直接安装即可，版本越高，模型越多。

pip install timm -i https://mirror.baidu.com/pypi/simple

版本更新：

pip install timm --upgrade -i https://mirror.baidu.com/pypi/simple

1.2 测试模型库

安装完成即可查看timm可供我们使用的所有模型。

# timm-0.9.7
import timm

print(timm.list_models())
print(len(timm.list_models())) # 991

# timm-0.6.13
import timm

print(timm.list_models())
print(len(timm.list_models())) # 964

1.3 加载模型

import torch, timm
from thop import clever_format, profile

device = torch.device("cuda" if torch.cuda.is_available() else "cpu")
dummy_input = torch.randn(1, 3, 640, 640).to(device)

model = timm.create_model('mobileone_s0', pretrained=False, features_only=True)
model.to(device)
model.eval()

print(model.feature_info.channels())
for feature in model(dummy_input):
    print(feature.size())

flops, params = profile(model.to(device), (dummy_input,), verbose=False)
params = clever_format(params, "%.3f")
print(f'Total {(flops * 2 / 1E9):.3f} GFLOPS')
print(f'Total {params} params')

PS：其他详细操作可参考官方文档

二、YOLOv5

主要修改models/yolo.py文件中的parse_model和_forward_once函数

替换parse_model函数

def parse_model(d, ch):  # model_dict, input_channels(3)
    # Parse a YOLOv5 model.yaml dictionary

    anchors, nc, gd, gw, act = d['anchors'], d['nc'], d['depth_multiple'], d['width_multiple'], d.get('activation')
    if act:
        Conv.default_act = eval(act)  # redefine default activation, i.e. Conv.default_act = nn.SiLU()
        LOGGER.info(f"{colorstr('activation:')} {act}")  # print
    na = (len(anchors[0]) // 2) if isinstance(anchors, list) else anchors  # number of anchors
    no = na * (nc + 5)  # number of outputs = anchors * (classes + 5)

    is_backbone = False
    layers, save, c2 = [], [], ch[-1]  # layers, savelist, ch out
    for i, (f, n, m, args) in enumerate(d['backbone'] + d['head']):  # from, number, module, args
        try:
            t = m
            m = eval(m) if isinstance(m, str) else m  # eval strings
        except:
            pass
        for j, a in enumerate(args):
            with contextlib.suppress(NameError):
                try:
                    args[j] = eval(a) if isinstance(a, str) else a  # eval strings
                except:
                    args[j] = a

        n = n_ = max(round(n * gd), 1) if n > 1 else n  # depth gain
        if m in {
                Conv, GhostConv, Bottleneck, GhostBottleneck, SPP, SPPF, DWConv, MixConv2d, Focus, CrossConv,
                BottleneckCSP, C3, C3TR, C3SPP, C3Ghost, nn.ConvTranspose2d, DWConvTranspose2d, C3x}:
            c1, c2 = ch[f], args[0]
            if c2 != no:  # if not output
                c2 = make_divisible(c2 * gw, 8)

            args = [c1, c2, *args[1:]]
            if m in {BottleneckCSP, C3, C3TR, C3Ghost, C3x}:
                args.insert(2, n)  # number of repeats
                n = 1
        elif m is nn.BatchNorm2d:
            args = [ch[f]]
        elif m is Concat:
            c2 = sum(ch[x] for x in f)
        # TODO: channel, gw, gd
        elif m in {Detect, Segment}:
            args.append([ch[x] for x in f])
            if isinstance(args[1], int):  # number of anchors
                args[1] = [list(range(args[1] * 2))] * len(f)
            if m is Segment:
                args[3] = make_divisible(args[3] * gw, 8)
        elif m is Contract:
            c2 = ch[f] * args[0] ** 2
        elif m is Expand:
            c2 = ch[f] // args[0] ** 2
        elif isinstance(m, str):
            t = m
            m = timm.create_model(m, pretrained=args[0], features_only=True)
            c2 = m.feature_info.channels()
        # elif m in {}:
        #     m = m(*args)
        #     c2 = m.channel
        else:
            c2 = ch[f]
        if isinstance(c2, list):
            is_backbone = True
            m_ = m
            m_.backbone = True
        else:
            m_ = nn.Sequential(*(m(*args) for _ in range(n))) if n > 1 else m(*args)  # module
            t = str(m)[8:-2].replace('__main__.', '')  # module type
        np = sum(x.numel() for x in m_.parameters())  # number params
        m_.i, m_.f, m_.type, m_.np = i + 4 if is_backbone else i, f, t, np  # attach index, 'from' index, type, number params
        LOGGER.info(f'{i:>3}{str(f):>18}{n_:>3}{np:10.0f}  {t:<40}{str(args):<30}')  # print
        save.extend(x % (i + 4 if is_backbone else i) for x in ([f] if isinstance(f, int) else f) if x != -1)  # append to savelist
        layers.append(m_)
        if i == 0:
            ch = []
        if isinstance(c2, list):
            ch.extend(c2)
            for _ in range(5 - len(ch)):
                ch.insert(0, 0)
        else:
            ch.append(c2)
    return nn.Sequential(*layers), sorted(save)

def _forward_once(self, x, profile=False, visualize=False):
    y, dt = [], []  # outputs
    for m in self.model:
        if m.f != -1:  # if not from previous layer
            x = y[m.f] if isinstance(m.f, int) else [x if j == -1 else y[j] for j in m.f]  # from earlier layers
        if profile:
            self._profile_one_layer(m, x, dt)
        if hasattr(m, 'backbone'):
            x = m(x)
            for _ in range(5 - len(x)):
                x.insert(0, None)
            for i_idx, i in enumerate(x):
                if i_idx in self.save:
                    y.append(i)
                else:
                    y.append(None)
            x = x[-1]
        else:
            x = m(x)  # run
            y.append(x if m.i in self.save else None)  # save output
        if visualize:
            feature_visualization(x, m.type, m.i, save_dir=visualize)
    return x

替换BaseModel类中的_forward_once函数

def _forward_once(self, x, profile=False, visualize=False):
    y, dt = [], []  # outputs
    for m in self.model:
        if m.f != -1:  # if not from previous layer
            x = y[m.f] if isinstance(m.f, int) else [x if j == -1 else y[j] for j in m.f]  # from earlier layers
        if profile:
            self._profile_one_layer(m, x, dt)
        if hasattr(m, 'backbone'):
            x = m(x)
            for _ in range(5 - len(x)):
                x.insert(0, None)
            for i_idx, i in enumerate(x):
            	y.append(i if i_idx in self.save else None)
            x = x[-1]
        else:
            x = m(x)  # run
            y.append(x if m.i in self.save else None)  # save output
        if visualize:
            feature_visualization(x, m.type, m.i, save_dir=visualize)
    return x
