FRCN
• Higher mAP on PASCAL VOC than RCNN & SPPnet
• Training is single-stage, using multi-task loss
• No liniear SVM (unlike RCNN SPPnet)
• Softmax & BB regressor altogether!
• Simpler training & Higher mAP
• All network layers can be updated during training
• SPPnet only can update FCs
• Higher mAP
• No disk storage is required for feature caching.
• Unlike RCNN & SPPnet
• Very fast training & test time
• Novel method to train(BP) ConvNet faster than SPPnet
Contribution of FRCN

• Caffe implemented architecture

𝑁: # of feature maps

RoI Pooling Layer
• Special case of SPP layer
• Two inputs
• Conv feature map: 512 × 𝐻 × 𝑊
(512&𝐻&𝑊: 𝑏𝑙𝑜𝑏 𝑠𝑖𝑧𝑒 𝑎𝑓𝑡𝑒𝑟 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑣)
• RoI: 𝑅 × 5
• 5 from 𝑟, 𝑥, 𝑦, ℎ, 𝑤
• 𝑟 ∈ 0, 𝑅 − 1 : image batch index
• Adaptive max pooling
• Pooled to fixed size feature vector

• Two sibling layers per each RoI
1. Softmax probability estimates over the K objects + 1 b.g.
2. 4 real-valued numbers (x, y, h, w) for each of the K object classes
• 4K values encode refined b.b. for each class
FRCN architecture (Two sibling layers)

𝑁: # of object box proposals
• Two output types:
1. Softmax: 𝑁𝐾 regressed object boxes
2. Bbox regressors: 𝑃(𝑐𝑙𝑠 = 𝑘|𝑏𝑜𝑥 = 𝑛, 𝑖𝑚𝑎𝑔𝑒) for each 𝑁𝐾 boxes
FRCN architecture (Two sibling layers)

• Use 3 pre-trained ImageNet networks
• CaffeNet(AlexNet) as S (5convs 3FCs)
• VGG_CNN_M_1024 as M (deep as S but wider)
• VGG16 as L (13convs 3FCs)
Training

Modification based on RCNN
• Last max pooling layer: replaced by RoI pooling layer
• Pooled to fixed size 𝐻′
, 𝑊′
compatible with FCs
• Final FC layer & softmax  two sibling layers
• a FC layer and softmax over 𝐾 + 1 categories
• BB regressors
• Two data inputs
• A batch of 𝑁 images
• A list of 𝑅 RoIs
Training

• SPPnet
• SPP applied to pre-computed conv feature maps of whole image
• Conv features computed offline,
fine-tuning can’t back-propagate errors below SPP layer
• VGG16: first 13 conv layers remain fixed. Only 3 FC layers updated
• RoI-centric sampling
• Sample from all RoIs (like RCNN)
• SGD back propagation for each RoIs
• Too much memory, too slow
• FRCN
• Image-centric sampling: more efficient
• Mini-batches are sampled hierarchically
• First sampling images and then RoIs within those images
• RoIs share CNN (computation and memory) more efficient
• Thus, one fine-tuning stage: jointly optimizes softmax classifier & BB regressors
• Loss, mini-batch sampling strategy, bp through RoI pooling layers, and SGD hyperparameters
Fine-tuning

• Mini-batch sampling
• Each SGD mini-batch from 𝑁 = 2 images
• Mini-batches of 𝑅 = 128, 64 RoIs from 2 images
• 25% from RoIs from obj proposals which IoU ≥ 0.5 with ground truth
• Maximum IoU with ground truth in [0.1, 0.5) used as BG
• Sampled image horizontally flipped with probability 0.5
Fine-tuning (mini-batch sampling)

Fine-tuning (mini-batch sampling)
84=21class * 4 co-ord values 5:Index and co-ord

• 𝑅 = 128
• Multi-task loss 𝐿 is averaged over 𝑅 outputs.
• Input variable 𝑥
• Sum over all RoIs that max-pooled 𝑥 in the forward pass:

Results & Discussion
Conclusion
Chapter 03.

1. State-of-the-art mAP on VOC07, 2010, 2012 (at the moment)
2. Fast training & testing time compared to RCNN &SPPnet
3. Fine-tuning conv layers in VGG16 is important
• NOT only FC layers
Results
< All networks are based on VGG16>

Results (Time)

Fine-tuning only FCs VS whole network?
• Only FC layers fine-tuning seems fine
• But doesn’t hold for VGG16 (very deep NNs)
• Freezing 13 conv layers, only 3 FC layers learn, emulates SPPnet
• mAP drop 66.9%  61.4%
• Training through the RoI pooling layer
very important for very deep net (VGG16)
Results (Fine-tuning how many layers?)

• But fine-tuning all conv layers  Inefficient
• Updating from conv2_1 slows training 1.3x compared to conv3_1(12.5h vs 9.5h)
• Over-runs GPU memory
• Conv1: generic and task independent
Results (Fine-tuning how many layers?)

Benefits from Multi-task training
• Convenient training
• Improve results. Tasks influence each other through the ConvNet
• 𝜆 = 0, not BB regressors. Only CLS
• 𝜆 = 1, but disabled BB regressors at test time
• Isolates network’s CLS accuracy for comparison
• Improves pure CLS accuracy! (+0.8~1.1 mAP)
• Train with CLS loss only, then train BB regressors layer 𝐿𝑙𝑜𝑐 freezing others.
• Good, but still under performs multi-task learning
Results (Multi-task training)

More training data
• RCNN based on deep ConvNet learns better with larger dataset
Results (Additional Data)

• Increase # of object proposals don’t help. (Although Average Recall ↑)
• Sparse object proposal methods (e.g. Selective Search) are bottleneck.
• Replacement with dense set of sliding window (free cost)
• Still sparse proposals better on detection quality
Results (Object proposals)

• State-of-the-art detection result
• Detailed experiments providing insights.
• Sparse object proposals improve detector quality
• But, a bottleneck
• Decreasing the object proposal time is critical in the future.
Further more
• Faster R-CNN: Towards Real-Time Object Detection with Region Proposal
Networks Object proposal [ArXiv]
• Detection network also proposes objects
• Cost of proposals: 10ms, VGG16 runtime ~200ms including all steps
• Higher mAP, faster
• R-CNN minus R [BMVC2015]
• Fast detector without Selective Search
• No algorithms other than CNN itself
• Attempts to remove Object proposal algorithms and rely exclusively on CNN
• More integrated, simpler and faster detector
• Share full-image convolutional features with detection net
Conclusion

• DeepMultiBox
• Scalable object detection using DNN
• Class-agnostic scalable object detection
• Only Bounding box. Not aware of what the object is in the box.
• Prediction a set of bounding boxes where potential objects are
• Localize then recognize
• Boxes generated using single DNN
• Outputs
• fixed number of bounding boxes.
• A score for each box. Confidence of the box containing an object.
