# Object Detection Example ## Introduction This is a sample code showing object detection using Arm NN in two different modes: 1. Utilizing public Arm NN C++ API. 2. Utilizing Tensorflow lite delegate file mechanism together with Armnn delegate file. The compiled application can take * a video file as input and * save a video file * or output video stream to the window with detections shown in bounding boxes, class labels and confidence. ## Dependencies This example utilizes OpenCV functions to capture and output video data. 1. Public Arm NN C++ API is provided by Arm NN library. 2. For Delegate file mode following dependencies exist: 2.1 Tensorflow version 2.5.0 2.2 Flatbuffers version 1.12.0 2.3 Arm NN delegate library ## System This example was created on Ubuntu 20.04 with gcc and g++ version 9. If encountered any compiler errors while running with a different compiler version, you can install version 9 with: ```commandline sudo apt install gcc-9 g++-9 ``` and add to every cmake command those compiler flags: -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=gcc-9 -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=g++-9 ### Arm NN Object detection example build system does not trigger Arm NN compilation. Thus, before building the application, please ensure that Arm NN libraries and header files are available on your build platform. The application executable binary dynamically links with the following Arm NN libraries: * libarmnn.so For Arm NN public C++ API mode: * libarmnnTfLiteParser.so For Delegate file mode: * libarmnnDelegate.so Pre compiled Arm NN libraries can be downloaded from https://github.com/ARM-software/armnn/releases/download/v21.11/ArmNN-linux-aarch64.tar.gz the "lib" and "include" directories should be taken together. The build script searches for available Arm NN libraries in the following order: 1. Inside custom user directory specified by ARMNN_LIB_DIR cmake option. 2. Inside the current Arm NN repository, assuming that Arm NN was built following [this instructions](../../BuildGuideCrossCompilation.md). 3. Inside default locations for system libraries, assuming Arm NN was installed from deb packages. Arm NN header files will be searched in parent directory of found libraries files under `include` directory, i.e. libraries found in `/usr/lib` or `/usr/lib64` and header files in `/usr/include` (or `${ARMNN_LIB_DIR}/include`). Please see [find_armnn.cmake](./cmake/find_armnn.cmake) for implementation details. ### OpenCV This application uses [OpenCV (Open Source Computer Vision Library)](https://opencv.org/) for video stream processing. Your host platform may have OpenCV available through linux package manager. If this is the case, please install it using standard way. ```commandline sudo apt install python3-opencv ``` If not, our build system has a script to download and cross-compile required OpenCV modules as well as [FFMPEG](https://ffmpeg.org/) and [x264 encoder](https://www.videolan.org/developers/x264.html) libraries. The latter will build limited OpenCV functionality and application will support only video file input and video file output way of working. Displaying video frames in a window requires building OpenCV with GTK and OpenGL support. The application executable binary dynamically links with the following OpenCV libraries: * libopencv_core.so.4.0.0 * libopencv_imgproc.so.4.0.0 * libopencv_imgcodecs.so.4.0.0 * libopencv_videoio.so.4.0.0 * libopencv_video.so.4.0.0 * libopencv_highgui.so.4.0.0 and transitively depends on: * libavcodec.so (FFMPEG) * libavformat.so (FFMPEG) * libavutil.so (FFMPEG) * libswscale.so (FFMPEG) * libx264.so (x264) The application searches for above libraries in the following order: 1. Inside custom user directory specified by OPENCV_LIB_DIR cmake option. 2. Inside default locations for system libraries. If no OpenCV libraries were found, the cross-compilation build is extended with x264, ffmpeg and OpenCV compilation steps. Note: Native build does not add third party libraries to compilation. Please see [find_opencv.cmake](./cmake/find_opencv.cmake) for implementation details. ### Tensorflow Lite (Needed only in delegate file mode) This application uses [Tensorflow Lite)](https://www.tensorflow.org/) version 2.5.0 for demonstrating use of 'armnnDelegate'. armnnDelegate is a library for accelerating certain TensorFlow Lite operators on Arm hardware by providing the TensorFlow Lite interpreter with an alternative implementation of the operators via its delegation mechanism. You may clone and build Tensorflow lite and provide the path to its root and output library directories through the cmake flags TENSORFLOW_ROOT and TFLITE_LIB_ROOT respectively. For implementation details see the scripts FindTfLite.cmake and FindTfLiteSrc.cmake The application links with the Tensorflow lite library libtensorflow-lite.a #### Download and build Tensorflow Lite version 2.5.0 Example for Tensorflow Lite native compilation ```commandline sudo apt install build-essential git clone https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow.git cd tensorflow/tensorflow git checkout tags/v2.5.0 mkdir build && cd build cmake ../lite -DTFLITE_ENABLE_XNNPACK=OFF make ``` ### Flatbuffers (needed only in delegate file mode) This application uses [Flatbuffers)](https://google.github.io/flatbuffers/) version 1.12.0 for serialization You may clone and build Flatbuffers and provide the path to its root directory through the cmake flag FLATBUFFERS_ROOT. Please see [FindFlatbuffers.cmake] for implementation details. The application links with the Flatbuffers library libflatbuffers.a #### Download and build flatbuffers version 1.12.0 Example for flatbuffer native compilation ```commandline wget -O flatbuffers-1.12.0.zip https://github.com/google/flatbuffers/archive/v1.12.0.zip unzip -d . flatbuffers-1.12.0.zip cd flatbuffers-1.12.0 mkdir install && cd install cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=`pwd` make install ``` ## Building There are two flows for building this application: * native build on a host platform, * cross-compilation for a Arm-based host platform. ### Build Options * CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE - choose one of the available cross-compilation toolchain files: * `cmake/aarch64-toolchain.cmake` * `cmake/arm-linux-gnueabihf-toolchain.cmake` * ARMNN_LIB_DIR - point to the custom location of the Arm NN libs and headers. * OPENCV_LIB_DIR - point to the custom location of the OpenCV libs and headers. * BUILD_UNIT_TESTS - set to `1` to build tests. Additionally to the main application, `object_detection_example-tests` unit tests executable will be created. * For the Delegate file mode: * USE_ARMNN_DELEGATE - set to True to build the application with Tflite and delegate file mode. default is False. * TFLITE_LIB_ROOT - point to the custom location of Tflite lib * TENSORFLOW_ROOT - point to the custom location of Tensorflow root directory * FLATBUFFERS_ROOT - point to the custom location of Flatbuffers root directory ### Native Build To build this application on a host platform, firstly ensure that required dependencies are installed: For example, for raspberry PI: ```commandline sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get -yq install pkg-config sudo apt-get -yq install libgtk2.0-dev zlib1g-dev libjpeg-dev libpng-dev libxvidcore-dev libx264-dev sudo apt-get -yq install libavcodec-dev libavformat-dev libswscale-dev ocl-icd-opencl-dev ``` To build demo application, create a build directory: ```commandline mkdir build cd build ``` If you have already installed Arm NN and OpenCV: Inside build directory, run cmake and make commands: ```commandline cmake .. make ``` This will build the following in bin directory: * object_detection_example - application executable If you have custom Arm NN and OpenCV location, use `OPENCV_LIB_DIR` and `ARMNN_LIB_DIR` options: ```commandline cmake -DARMNN_LIB_DIR=/path/to/armnn -DOPENCV_LIB_DIR=/path/to/opencv .. make ``` If you have build with Delegate file mode and have custom Arm NN, Tflite, and Flatbuffers locations, use the USE_ARMNN_DELEGATE flag together with `TFLITE_LIB_ROOT`, `TENSORFLOW_ROOT`, `FLATBUFFERS_ROOT` and `ARMNN_LIB_DIR` options: ```commandline cmake -DARMNN_LIB_DIR=/path/to/armnn/build/lib/ -DUSE_ARMNN_DELEGATE=True -DTFLITE_LIB_ROOT=/path/to/tensorflow/ -DTENSORFLOW_ROOT=/path/to/tensorflow/ -DFLATBUFFERS_ROOT=/path/to/flatbuffers/ .. make ``` ### Cross-compilation This section will explain how to cross-compile the application and dependencies on a Linux x86 machine for arm host platforms. You will require working cross-compilation toolchain supported by your host platform. For raspberry Pi 3 and 4 with glibc runtime version 2.28, the following toolchains were successfully used: * https://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries/latest-7/aarch64-linux-gnu/ * https://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries/latest-7/arm-linux-gnueabihf/ Choose aarch64-linux-gnu if `lscpu` command shows architecture as aarch64 or arm-linux-gnueabihf if detected architecture is armv71. You can check runtime version on your host platform by running: ``` ldd --version ``` On **build machine**, install C and C++ cross compiler toolchains and add them to the PATH variable. Install package dependencies: ```commandline sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get -yq install pkg-config ``` Package config is required by OpenCV build to discover FFMPEG libs. To build demo application, create a build directory: ```commandline mkdir build cd build ``` Inside build directory, run cmake and make commands: **Arm 32bit** ```commandline cmake -DARMNN_LIB_DIR= -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=cmake/arm-linux-gnueabihf-toolchain.cmake .. make ``` **Arm 64bit** ```commandline cmake -DARMNN_LIB_DIR= -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=cmake/aarch64-toolchain.cmake .. make ``` Add `-j` flag to the make command to run compilation in multiple threads. From the build directory, copy the following to the host platform: * bin directory - contains object_detection_example executable, * lib directory - contains cross-compiled OpenCV, ffmpeg, x264 libraries, * Your Arm NN libs used during compilation. The full list of libs after cross-compilation to copy on your board: ``` libarmnn.so libarmnn.so.29 libarmnn.so.29.0 For Arm NN public C++ API mode: libarmnnTfLiteParser.so libarmnnTfLiteParser.so.24.4 end For Delegate file mode: libarmnnDelegate.so libarmnnDelegate.so.25 libarmnnDelegate.so.25.0 libtensorflow-lite.a libflatbuffers.a end libavcodec.so libavcodec.so.58 libavcodec.so.58.54.100 libavdevice.so libavdevice.so.58 libavdevice.so.58.8.100 libavfilter.so libavfilter.so.7 libavfilter.so.7.57.100 libavformat.so libavformat.so.58 libavformat.so.58.29.100 libavutil.so libavutil.so.56 libavutil.so.56.31.100 libopencv_core.so libopencv_core.so.4.0 libopencv_core.so.4.0.0 libopencv_highgui.so libopencv_highgui.so.4.0 libopencv_highgui.so.4.0.0 libopencv_imgcodecs.so libopencv_imgcodecs.so.4.0 libopencv_imgcodecs.so.4.0.0 libopencv_imgproc.so libopencv_imgproc.so.4.0 libopencv_imgproc.so.4.0.0 libopencv_video.so libopencv_video.so.4.0 libopencv_video.so.4.0.0 libopencv_videoio.so libopencv_videoio.so.4.0 libopencv_videoio.so.4.0.0 libpostproc.so libpostproc.so.55 libpostproc.so.55.5.100 libswresample.a libswresample.so libswresample.so.3 libswresample.so.3.5.100 libswscale.so libswscale.so.5 libswscale.so.5.5.100 libx264.so libx264.so.160 ``` ## Executing Once the application executable is built, it can be executed with the following options: * --video-file-path: Path to the video file to run object detection on **[REQUIRED]** * --model-file-path: Path to the Object Detection model to use **[REQUIRED]** * --label-path: Path to the label set for the provided model file **[REQUIRED]** * --model-name: The name of the model being used.

Drawing Bounding Boxes ### Initialisation ##### Reading from Video Source After parsing user arguments, the chosen video file or stream is loaded into an OpenCV `cv::VideoCapture` object. We use [`IFrameReader`](./include/IFrameReader.hpp) interface and OpenCV specific implementation [`CvVideoFrameReader`](./include/CvVideoFrameReader.hpp) in our main function to capture frames from the source using the `ReadFrame()` function. The `CvVideoFrameReader` object also tells us information about the input video. Using this information and application arguments, we create one of the implementations of the [`IFrameOutput`](./include/IFrameOutput.hpp) interface: [`CvVideoFileWriter`](./include/CvVideoFileWriter.hpp) or [`CvWindowOutput`](./include/CvWindowOutput.hpp). This object will be used at the end of every loop to write the processed frame to an output video file or gui window. `CvVideoFileWriter` uses `cv::VideoWriter` with ffmpeg backend. `CvWindowOutput` makes use of `cv::imshow()` function. See `GetFrameSourceAndSink` function in [Main.cpp](./src/Main.cpp) for more details. ##### Preparing Labels and Model Specific Functions In order to interpret the result of running inference on the loaded network, it is required to load the labels associated with the model. In the provided example code, the `AssignColourToLabel` function creates a vector of pairs label - colour that is ordered according to object class index at the output node of the model. Labels are assigned with a randomly generated RGB color. This ensures that each class has a unique color which will prove helpful when plotting the bounding boxes of various detected objects in a frame. Depending on the model being used, `CreatePipeline` function returns specific implementation of the object detection pipeline. ### There are two ways for Creating the Network. The first is using the Arm NN C++ API, and the second is using ### Tflite with Arm NN delegate file #### Creating a Network using the Arm NN C++ API All operations with Arm NN and networks are encapsulated in [`ArmnnNetworkExecutor`](./common/include/ArmnnUtils/ArmnnNetworkExecutor.hpp) class. ##### Creating Parser and Importing Graph The first step with Arm NN SDK is to import a graph from file by using the appropriate parser. The Arm NN SDK provides parsers for reading graphs from a variety of model formats. In our application we specifically focus on `.tflite, .pb, .onnx` models. Based on the extension of the provided model file, the corresponding parser is created and the network file loaded with `CreateNetworkFromBinaryFile()` method. The parser will handle the creation of the underlying Arm NN graph. Current example accepts tflite format model files, we use `ITfLiteParser`: ```c++ #include "armnnTfLiteParser/ITfLiteParser.hpp" armnnTfLiteParser::ITfLiteParserPtr parser = armnnTfLiteParser::ITfLiteParser::Create(); armnn::INetworkPtr network = parser->CreateNetworkFromBinaryFile(modelPath.c_str()); ``` ##### Optimizing Graph for Compute Device Arm NN supports optimized execution on multiple CPU and GPU devices. Prior to executing a graph, we must select the appropriate device context. We do this by creating a runtime context with default options with `IRuntime()`. For example: ```c++ #include "armnn/ArmNN.hpp" auto runtime = armnn::IRuntime::Create(armnn::IRuntime::CreationOptions()); ``` We can optimize the imported graph by specifying a list of backends in order of preference and implement backend-specific optimizations. The backends are identified by a string unique to the backend, for example `CpuAcc, GpuAcc, CpuRef`. For example: ```c++ std::vector backends{"CpuAcc", "GpuAcc", "CpuRef"}; ``` Internally and transparently, Arm NN splits the graph into subgraph based on backends, it calls a optimize subgraphs function on each of them and, if possible, substitutes the corresponding subgraph in the original graph with its optimized version. Using the `Optimize()` function we optimize the graph for inference and load the optimized network onto the compute device with `LoadNetwork()`. This function creates the backend-specific workloads for the layers and a backend specific workload factory which is called to create the workloads. For example: ```c++ armnn::IOptimizedNetworkPtr optNet = Optimize(*network, backends, m_Runtime->GetDeviceSpec(), armnn::OptimizerOptions()); std::string errorMessage; runtime->LoadNetwork(0, std::move(optNet), errorMessage)); std::cerr << errorMessage << std::endl; ``` ##### Creating Input and Output Binding Information Parsers can also be used to extract the input information for the network. By calling `GetSubgraphInputTensorNames` we extract all the input names and, with `GetNetworkInputBindingInfo`, bind the input points of the graph. For example: ```c++ std::vector inputNames = parser->GetSubgraphInputTensorNames(0); auto inputBindingInfo = parser->GetNetworkInputBindingInfo(0, inputNames[0]); ``` The input binding information contains all the essential information about the input. It is a tuple consisting of integer identifiers for bindable layers (inputs, outputs) and the tensor info (data type, quantization information, number of dimensions, total number of elements). Similarly, we can get the output binding information for an output layer by using the parser to retrieve output tensor names and calling `GetNetworkOutputBindingInfo()`. #### Creating a Network using Tflite and Arm NN delegate file All operations with Tflite and networks are encapsulated in [`ArmnnNetworkExecutor`](./include/delegate/ArmnnNetworkExecutor.hpp) class. ##### Building a Model and creating Interpreter The first step with Tflite is to build a model from file by using Flatbuffer model class. with that model we create the Tflite Interpreter. ```c++ #include armnnTfLiteParser::ITfLiteParserPtr parser = armnnTfLiteParser::ITfLiteParser::Create();m_model = tflite::FlatBufferModel::BuildFromFile(modelPath.c_str()); tflite::ops::builtin::BuiltinOpResolver resolver; tflite::InterpreterBuilder(*m_model, resolver)(&m_interpreter); ``` after the Interpreter is created we allocate tensors using the AllocateTensors function of the Interpreter ```c++ m_interpreter->AllocateTensors(); ``` ##### Creating Arm NN Delegate file Arm NN Delegate file is created using the ArmnnDelegate constructor The constructor accepts a DelegateOptions object that is created from the list of the preferred backends that we want to use, and the optimizerOptions object (optional). In this example we enable fast math and reduce all float32 operators to float16 optimizations. These optimizations can sometime improve the performance but can also cause degredation, depending on the model and the backends involved, therefore one should try it out and decide whether to use it or not. ```c++ #include #include #include /* enable fast math optimization */ armnn::BackendOptions modelOptionGpu("GpuAcc", {{"FastMathEnabled", true}}); optimizerOptions.m_ModelOptions.push_back(modelOptionGpu); armnn::BackendOptions modelOptionCpu("CpuAcc", {{"FastMathEnabled", true}}); optimizerOptions.m_ModelOptions.push_back(modelOptionCpu); /* enable reduce float32 to float16 optimization */ optimizerOptions.m_ReduceFp32ToFp16 = true; armnnDelegate::DelegateOptions delegateOptions(preferredBackends, optimizerOptions); /* create delegate object */ std::unique_ptr theArmnnDelegate(armnnDelegate::TfLiteArmnnDelegateCreate(delegateOptions), armnnDelegate::TfLiteArmnnDelegateDelete); ``` ##### Registering the Arm NN delegate file to the Interpreter Registering the Arm NN delegate file will provide the TensorFlow Lite interpreter with an alternative implementation of the operators that can be accelerated by the Arm hardware For example: ```c++ /* Register the delegate file */ m_interpreter->ModifyGraphWithDelegate(std::move(theArmnnDelegate)); ``` ### Object detection pipeline Generic object detection pipeline has 3 steps, to perform data pre-processing, run inference and decode inference results in the post-processing step. See [`ObjDetectionPipeline`](include/ObjectDetectionPipeline.hpp) and implementations for [`MobileNetSSDv1`](include/ObjectDetectionPipeline.hpp) and [`YoloV3Tiny`](include/ObjectDetectionPipeline.hpp) for more details. #### Pre-processing the Captured Frame Each frame captured from source is read as an `cv::Mat` in BGR format but channels are swapped to RGB in a frame reader code. ```c++ cv::Mat processed; ... objectDetectionPipeline->PreProcessing(frame, processed); ``` A pre-processing step consists of resizing the frame to the required resolution, padding and doing data type conversion to match the model input layer. For example, SSD MobileNet V1 that is used in our example takes for input a tensor with shape `[1, 300, 300, 3]` and data type `uint8`. Pre-processing step returns `cv::Mat` object containing data ready for inference. #### Executing Inference ```c++ od::InferenceResults results; ... objectDetectionPipeline->Inference(processed, results); ``` Inference step will call `ArmnnNetworkExecutor::Run` method that will prepare input tensors and execute inference. We have two separate implementations of the `ArmnnNetworkExecutor` class and its functions including `ArmnnNetworkExecutor::Run` The first Implementation [`ArmnnNetworkExecutor`](./common/include/ArmnnUtils/ArmnnNetworkExecutor.hpp)is utilizing Arm NN C++ API, while the second implementation [`ArmnnNetworkExecutor`](./include/delegate/ArmnnNetworkExecutor.hpp) is utilizing Tensorflow lite and its Delegate file mechanism. ##### Executing Inference utilizing the Arm NN C++ API A compute device performs inference for the loaded network using the `EnqueueWorkload()` function of the runtime context. For example: ```c++ //const void* inputData = ...; //outputTensors were pre-allocated before armnn::InputTensors inputTensors = {{ inputBindingInfo.first,armnn::ConstTensor(inputBindingInfo.second, inputData)}}; runtime->EnqueueWorkload(0, inputTensors, outputTensors); ``` We allocate memory for output data once and map it to output tensor objects. After successful inference, we read data from the pre-allocated output data buffer. See [`ArmnnNetworkExecutor::ArmnnNetworkExecutor`](./common/include/ArmnnUtils/ArmnnNetworkExecutor.hpp) and [`ArmnnNetworkExecutor::Run`](./common/include/ArmnnUtils/ArmnnNetworkExecutor.hpp) for more details. ##### Executing Inference utilizing the Tensorflow lite and Arm NN delegate file Inside the `PrepareTensors(..)` function, the input frame is copied to the Tflite Interpreter input tensor, than the Tflite Interpreter performs inference for the loaded network using the `Invoke()` function. For example: ```c++ PrepareTensors(inputData, dataBytes); if (m_interpreter->Invoke() == kTfLiteOk) ``` After successful inference, we read data from the Tflite Interpreter output tensor and copy it to the outResults vector. See [`ArmnnNetworkExecutor::Run`](./include/delegate/ArmnnNetworkExecutor.hpp) for more details. #### Postprocessing ##### Decoding and Processing Inference Output The output from inference must be decoded to obtain information about detected objects in the frame. In the examples there are implementations for two networks but you may also implement your own network decoding solution here. For SSD MobileNet V1 models, we decode the results to obtain the bounding box positions, classification index, confidence and number of detections in the input frame. See [`SSDResultDecoder`](./include/SSDResultDecoder.hpp) for more details. For YOLO V3 Tiny models, we decode the output and perform non-maximum suppression to filter out any weak detections below a confidence threshold and any redundant bounding boxes above an intersection-over-union threshold. See [`YoloResultDecoder`](./include/YoloResultDecoder.hpp) for more details. It is encouraged to experiment with threshold values for confidence and intersection-over-union (IoU) to achieve the best visual results. The detection results are always returned as a vector of [`DetectedObject`](./include/DetectedObject.hpp), with the box positions list containing bounding box coordinates in the form `[x_min, y_min, x_max, y_max]`. #### Drawing Bounding Boxes Post-processing step accepts a callback function to be invoked when the decoding is finished. We will use it to draw detections on the initial frame. With the obtained detections and using [`AddInferenceOutputToFrame`](./src/ImageUtils.cpp) function, we are able to draw bounding boxes around detected objects and add the associated label and confidence score. ```c++ //results - inference output objectDetectionPipeline->PostProcessing(results, [&frame, &labels](od::DetectedObjects detects) -> void { AddInferenceOutputToFrame(detects, *frame, labels); }); ``` The processed frames are written to a file or displayed in a separate window.
