## Getting Started with Detectron2

This document provides a brief intro of the usage of builtin command-line tools in detectron2.

For a tutorial that involves actual coding with the API,
see our [Colab Notebook](https://colab.research.google.com/drive/16jcaJoc6bCFAQ96jDe2HwtXj7BMD_-m5)
which covers how to run inference with an
existing model, and how to train a builtin model on a custom dataset.


### Inference Demo with Pre-trained Models

1. Pick a model and its config file from
  [model zoo](MODEL_ZOO.md),
  for example, `mask_rcnn_R_50_FPN_3x.yaml`.
2. We provide `demo.py` that is able to demo builtin configs. Run it with:
```
cd demo/
python demo.py --config-file ../configs/COCO-InstanceSegmentation/mask_rcnn_R_50_FPN_3x.yaml \
  --input input1.jpg input2.jpg \
  [--other-options]
  --opts MODEL.WEIGHTS detectron2://COCO-InstanceSegmentation/mask_rcnn_R_50_FPN_3x/137849600/model_final_f10217.pkl
```
The configs are made for training, therefore we need to specify `MODEL.WEIGHTS` to a model from model zoo for evaluation.
This command will run the inference and show visualizations in an OpenCV window.

For details of the command line arguments, see `demo.py -h` or look at its source code
to understand its behavior. Some common arguments are:
* To run __on your webcam__, replace `--input files` with `--webcam`.
* To run __on a video__, replace `--input files` with `--video-input video.mp4`.
* To run __on cpu__, add `MODEL.DEVICE cpu` after `--opts`.
* To save outputs to a directory (for images) or a file (for webcam or video), use `--output`.


### Training & Evaluation in Command Line

We provide two scripts in "tools/plain_train_net.py" and "tools/train_net.py",
that are made to train all the configs provided in detectron2. You may want to
use it as a reference to write your own training script.

Compared to "train_net.py", "plain_train_net.py" supports fewer default
features. It also includes fewer abstraction, therefore is easier to add custom
logic.

To train a model with "train_net.py", first
setup the corresponding datasets following
[datasets/README.md](./datasets/README.md),
then run:
```
cd tools/
./train_net.py --num-gpus 8 \
  --config-file ../configs/COCO-InstanceSegmentation/mask_rcnn_R_50_FPN_1x.yaml
```

The configs are made for 8-GPU training.
To train on 1 GPU, you may need to [change some parameters](https://arxiv.org/abs/1706.02677), e.g.:
```
./train_net.py \
  --config-file ../configs/COCO-InstanceSegmentation/mask_rcnn_R_50_FPN_1x.yaml \
  --num-gpus 1 SOLVER.IMS_PER_BATCH 2 SOLVER.BASE_LR 0.0025
```

To evaluate a model's performance, use
```
./train_net.py \
  --config-file ../configs/COCO-InstanceSegmentation/mask_rcnn_R_50_FPN_1x.yaml \
  --eval-only MODEL.WEIGHTS /path/to/checkpoint_file
```
For more options, see `./train_net.py -h`.

### Use Detectron2 APIs in Your Code

See our [Colab Notebook](https://colab.research.google.com/drive/16jcaJoc6bCFAQ96jDe2HwtXj7BMD_-m5)
to learn how to use detectron2 APIs to:
1. run inference with an existing model
2. train a builtin model on a custom dataset
