MetaFormer

A repository for the code used to create and train the model defined in “MetaFormer: A Unified Meta Framework for Fine-Grained Recognition” arxiv:2203.02751

Moreover, MetaFormer is similar to CoAtNet. Therefore, this repo can also be seen as a reference PyTorch implementation of “CoAtNet: Marrying Convolution and Attention for All Data Sizes” arxiv:2106.04803

You can also get model by https://pan.baidu.com/s/1ZGEDoWWU7Z0vx0VCjEbe6g (password:3uiq).

Usage

python module

• install Pytorch and torchvision

pip install torch==1.5.1 torchvision==0.6.1

• install timm

pip install timm==0.4.5

• install Apex

git clone https://github.com/NVIDIA/apex
cd apex
pip install -v --disable-pip-version-check --no-cache-dir --global-option="--cpp_ext" --global-option="--cuda_ext" ./

• install other requirements

pip install opencv-python==4.5.1.48 yacs==0.1.8

data preparation

Download inat21,18,17,CUB,NABirds,stanfordcars, and aircraft, put them in respective folders (<root>/datasets/<dataset_name>) and Unzip file. The folder sturture as follow:

Training

You can dowmload pre-trained model from model zoo, and put them under <root>/pretrained.
To train MetaFG on datasets, run:

python3 -m torch.distributed.launch --nproc_per_node <num-of-gpus-to-use> --master_port 12345  main.py --cfg <config-file> --dataset <dataset-name> --pretrain <pretainedmodel-path> [--batch-size <batch-size-per-gpu> --output <output-directory> --tag <job-tag>]

<dataset-name>:inaturelist2021,inaturelist2018,inaturelist2017,cub-200,nabirds,stanfordcars,aircraft
For CUB-200-2011, run:

python3 -m torch.distributed.launch --nproc_per_node 8 --master_port 12345  main.py --cfg ./configs/MetaFG_1_224.yaml --batch-size 32 --tag cub-200_v1 --lr 5e-5 --min-lr 5e-7 --warmup-lr 5e-8 --epochs 300 --warmup-epochs 20 --dataset cub-200 --pretrain ./pretrained_model/<xxxx>.pth --accumulation-steps 2 --opts DATA.IMG_SIZE 384  

note that final learning rate is total_bs/512.

Eval

To evaluate model on dataset,run:

python3 -m torch.distributed.launch --nproc_per_node <num-of-gpus-to-use> --master_port 12345  main.py --eval --cfg <config-file> --dataset <dataset-name> --resume <checkpoint> [--batch-size <batch-size-per-gpu>]
