1 Deep Learning Working Group R-CNN Includes slides from : Josef Sivic, Andrew Zisserman and so many other Nicolas Gonthier February 1, 2018

2 Recognition Tasks Image Classification Does the image contain an aeroplane? (last lecture) Object Class Detection/Localization Where are the aeroplanes (if any)? Object Class Segmentation Which pixels are part of an aeroplane (if any)?

3 Classification vs. Detection ü Dog Dog Dog

4 Problem formulation { airplane, bird, motorbike, person, sofa } person motorbike Input Desired output

5 Region proposals: Selective Search 1. Merge two most similar regions based on S. 2. Update similarities between the new region and its neighbors. 3. Go back to step 1. until the whole image is a single region. [K. van de Sande, J. Uijlings, T. Gevers, and A. Smeulders, ICCV 2011]

6 Region proposals: Selective Search Take bounding boxes of all generated regions and treat them as possible object locations. [K. van de Sande, J. Uijlings, T. Gevers, and A. Smeulders, ICCV 2011]

7 Region proposals: Selective Search [K. van de Sande, J. Uijlings, T. Gevers, and A. Smeulders, ICCV 2011]

8 Test: Non-maximum suppression (NMS) Scanning-window detectors typically result in multiple responses for the same object Conf=.9 To remove multiple responses, a simple greedy procedure called Non-maximum suppression is applied: NMS: 1. Sort all detections by detector confidence 2. Choose most confident detection d i ; remove all d j s.t. overlap(d i,d j )>T 3. Repeat Step 2. until convergence

9 Putting it together: R-CNN Fei-Fei Li & Andrej Karpathy & Justin Johnson Lecture 8-1 Feb 2016 Slide credit: Ross Girschick [Girschick et al, Rich feature hierarchies for accurate object detection and semantic segmentation, CVPR 2014]

11 76% mean Average Precision (map) 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% ResNet ~1 year ~5 years 0% year

12 R-CNN Problems 1. Slow at test-time: need to run full forward pass of CNN for each region proposal 2. SVMs and regressors are post-hoc: CNN features not updated in response to SVMs and regressors 3. Complex multistage training pipeline Fei-Fei Li & Andrej Karpathy & Justin Johnson Lecture Feb 2016 Fei-Fei Li & Andrej Karpathy & Justin Johnson 1 Feb 2016

13 R-CNN Problem #1: Slow at test-time due to independent forward passes of the CNN Solution: Share computation of convolutional layers between proposals for an image Fei-Fei Li & Andrej Karpathy & Justin Johnson Lecture Feb 2016 Fei-Fei Li & Andrej Karpathy & Justin Johnson 1 Feb 2016 [Girschick, Fast R-CNN, ICCV 2015]

14 R-CNN Problem #2: Post-hoc training: CNN not updated in response to final classifiers and regressors R-CNN Problem #3: Complex training pipeline Solution: Just train the whole system end-to-end all at once! Slide credit: Ross Girschick Fei-Fei Li & Andrej Karpathy & Justin Johnson Lecture Feb 2016 Fei-Fei Li & Andrej Karpathy & Justin Johnson 1 Feb 2016

15 Fast R-CNN: Region of Interest Pooling Convolution and Pooling Max-pool within each grid cell Fully-connected layers Hi-res input image: 3 x 800 x 600 with region proposal Hi-res conv features: C x H x W with region proposal RoI conv features: C x h x w for region proposal Fully-connected layers expect low-res conv features: C x h x w Fei-Fei Li & Andrej Karpathy & Justin Johnson Lecture Feb 2016 Fei-Fei Li & Andrej Karpathy & Justin Johnson 1 Feb 2016

16 Fast R-CNN: Region of Interest Pooling Convolution and Pooling Can back propagate similar to max pooling Fully-connected layers Hi-res input image: 3 x 800 x 600 with region proposal Hi-res conv features: C x H x W with region proposal RoI conv features: C x h x w for region proposal Fully-connected layers expect low-res conv features: C x h x w Fei-Fei Li & Andrej Karpathy & Justin Johnson Lecture Feb 2016 Fei-Fei Li & Andrej Karpathy & Justin Johnson 1 Feb 2016

17 Fast R-CNN Results R-CNN Fast R-CNN Faster! FASTER! Better! Training Time: 84 hours 9.5 hours (Speedup) 1x 8.8x Test time per image 47 seconds 0.32 seconds (Speedup) 1x 146x map (VOC 2007) Using VGG-16 CNN on Pascal VOC 2007 dataset Fei-Fei Li & Andrej Karpathy & Justin Johnson Lecture Feb 2016 Fei-Fei Li & Andrej Karpathy & Justin Johnson 1 Feb 2016

18 Fast R-CNN Problem Solution: Test-time speeds don t include region proposals Just make the CNN do region proposals too! R-CNN Fast R-CNN Test time per image 47 seconds 0.32 seconds (Speedup) 1x 146x Test time per image with Selective Search 50 seconds 2 seconds (Speedup) 1x 25x Fei-Fei Li & Andrej Karpathy & Justin Johnson Lecture Feb 2016 Fei-Fei Li & Andrej Karpathy & Justin Johnson 1 Feb 2016

19 Faster R-CNN: Insert a Region Proposal Network (RPN) after the last convolutional layer RPN trained to produce region proposals directly; no need for external region proposals! After RPN, use RoI Pooling and an upstream classifier and bbox regressor just like Fast R-CNN Ren et al, Faster R-CNN: Towards Real-Time Object Detection with Region Proposal Networks, NIPS 2015 Slide credit: Ross Girschick Fei-Fei Li & Andrej Karpathy & Justin Johnson Lecture Feb 2016 Fei-Fei Li & Andrej Karpathy & Justin Johnson 1 Feb 2016

20 Faster R-CNN: Region Proposal Network Slide a small window on the feature map Build a small network for: classifying object or not-object, and regressing bbox locations 1 x 1 conv 1 x 1 conv Position of the sliding window provides localization information with reference to the image 1 x 1 conv Box regression provides finer localization information with reference to this sliding window Slide credit: Kaiming He Fei-Fei Li & Andrej Karpathy & Justin Johnson Lecture Feb 2016 Fei-Fei Li & Andrej Karpathy & Justin Johnson 1 Feb 2016

21 Faster R-CNN: Region Proposal Network Use N anchor boxes at each location Anchors are translation invariant: use the same ones at every location Regression gives offsets from anchor boxes Classification gives the probability that each (regressed) anchor shows an object Fei-Fei Li & Andrej Karpathy & Justin Johnson Lecture Feb 2016 Fei-Fei Li & Andrej Karpathy & Justin Johnson 1 Feb 2016

22 Faster R-CNN: Training In the paper: - Use alternating optimization to train RPN, then Fast R-CNN with RPN proposals, etc. - More complex than it has to be Since publication: Joint training! One network, four losses - RPN classification (anchor good / bad) - RPN regression (anchor -> proposal) - Fast R-CNN classification (over classes) - Fast R-CNN regression (proposal -> box) Slide credit: Ross Girschick Fei-Fei Li & Andrej Karpathy & Justin Johnson Lecture Feb 2016 Fei-Fei Li & Andrej Karpathy & Justin Johnson 1 Feb 2016

23 Faster R-CNN: Results R-CNN Fast R-CNN Faster R-CNN Test time per image (with proposals) 50 seconds 2 seconds 0.2 seconds (Speedup) 1x 25x 250x map (VOC 2007) Fei-Fei Li & Andrej Karpathy & Justin Johnson Lecture Feb 2016 Fei-Fei Li & Andrej Karpathy & Justin Johnson 1 Feb 2016

24 Detection without proposals: Yolo / SSD Input image 3 x H x W Redmon et al, You Only Look Once: Unified, Real-Time Object Detection, CVPR 2016 Liu et al, SSD: Single-Shot MultiBox Detector, ECCV 2016 Divide image into grid 7 x 7 Image a set of base boxes centered at each grid cell Here B = 3 Slide credit: L. Fei Fei, J. Johnson, S. Yeung,

25 Detection without proposals: Yolo / SSD Within each grid cell: - Regress from each of the B base boxes to a final box with 5 numbers: (dx, dy, dh, dw, confidence) - Predict scores for each of C classes (including background as a class) Divide image into grid 7 x 7 Image a set of base boxes centered at each grid cell Here B = 3 Output: 7 x 7 x (5 * B + C) From input image to scores with a single network. Faster but not as accurate as RCNN. See also: Lin et al., Focal loss for dense object detection, ICCV Slide credit: L. Fei Fei, J. Johnson, S. Yeung,
