Traffic Camera Object Detection

Introduction

This reference kit provides an end-to-end (E2E) Machine Learning (ML) workflow for traffic management using Pytorch*, Intel® Neural Compressor, OpenVINO* and Intel® Optimizations for PyTorch*. Traffic management is an important issue plaguing well-established and rapidly growing cities. Bad traffic management and accidents impact performance at work, but mainly quality of life.

Check out more workflow examples in the Developer Catalog.

Solution Technical Overview

Traffic accidents are dangerous and often result in fatalities. The time taken to respond to accidents and send medical aid depends on multiple human factors. Often a lack of timely response impacts the likelihood of survival.

Intelligent traffic management systems leveraging video surveillance, automated accident detection, and prediction solutions will go a long way in improving safety and traffic flow in cities. These solutions need to provide real-time insights and recommendations to be effective.

Leveraging the power of edge computing, communication between devices with very low latency can be achieved. An example scenario includes traffic signals and vehicles exchanging information about pedestrians on crosswalks, communication between surveillance cameras and vehicles regarding proximity, and the possibility of an accident with very low latency; thus enabling preventive action in near real-time.

Deep Learning (DL) algorithms can predict traffic accidents based on live traffic camera feeds. Computer vision tasks and complex feature analysis can be accomplished easily with high performance by leveraging DL algorithms.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) based detection algorithms deployed at the edge enable real-time analytics of video feeds and detection of accidents and other issues, thus improving overall traffic management. AI-enabled traffic camera imaging aid helps address traffic management challenges by reducing congestion on road, improving the accuracy of pedestrian/vehicle identification, improving device-2-device communication, and helping reduce accidents.

This workflow implementation is a reference solution to the described use case that includes an optimized reference E2E architecture enabled with Intel® Optimizations for PyTorch* and Intel® Neural Compressor available as part of Intel® AI Tools optimizations and OpenVINO*:

Intel® Optimizations for PyTorch*

PyTorch* is an AI and machine learning framework popular for both research and production usage. This open source library is often used for deep learning applications whose compute-intensive training and inference test the limits of available hardware resources. Intel releases its newest optimizations and features in Intel® Optimizations for PyTorch* before upstreaming them into open source PyTorch.
Intel® Neural Compressor

Intel® Neural Compressor performs model compression to reduce the model size and increase the speed of deep learning inference for deployment on CPUs or GPUs. This open source Python* library automates popular model compression technologies, such as quantization, pruning, and knowledge distillation across multiple deep learning frameworks.
OpenVINO*

OpenVINO* is an open-source toolkit for optimizing and deploying AI inference.
- Boost deep learning performance in computer vision, automatic speech recognition, natural language processing and other common tasks.
- Use models trained with popular frameworks like TensorFlow, PyTorch and more.
- Reduce resource demands and efficiently deploy on a range of Intel® platforms from edge to cloud.

Intelligent Traffic Management

This reference kit uses a general detection model capable of distinguishing objects that would be relevant to traffic cameras. It preprocesses a Pascal VOC dataset by combining it with COCO classes using OpenCV*. A transfer learning approach is performed using an advanced pre-trained real-time object detection YOLOv5 model, which is further trained to detect vehicles and pedestrians. The dataset is first preprocessed using OpenCV* and NumPy, and then NumPy based postprocessing is performed using Non-Maxima Suppression (NMS) and centroid-based distance calculations for possible collision detection, which could be used for example to warn vehicle drivers via device-2-device communication.

Since GPUs are typically the choice for Deep Learning and AI processing to achieve a higher Frames Per Second (FPS) rate, to offer a more cost-effective option leveraging a CPU, we use the quantization technique, leveraging Intel® AI Tools, to achieve high FPS by performing vectorized operations on CPUs itself.

By quantizing/compressing the model (from floating point to integer model), while maintaining a similar level of accuracy as the floating point model, we demonstrate efficient utilization of underlying resources when deployed on edge devices with low processing and memory capabilities. Model has been quantized using Intel® Neural Compressor and Intel® Distribution of OpenVINO* which has shown high-performance vectorized operations on Intel® platforms.

Quantize trained models using Intel® Neural Compressor

Intel® Neural Compressor is used to quantize the FP32 Model to the INT8 Model. Optimized model is used here for evaluating and timing analysis. Intel® Neural Compressor supports many optimization methods, for this case post-training quantization with the Accuracy Aware Mode method is used to quantize the FP32 model.

Step-1: Conversion of FP32 Model to INT8 Model

usage: run_inc_quantization.py [-h] [-o OUTPATH] [-c CONFIG] [-d DATA_YAML] [-w WEIGHTS]

optional arguments:

Using Intel® Distribution of OpenVINO*

When it comes to the deployment of this model on Edge devices, with less computing and memory resources, we further need to explore options for quantizing and compressing the model which brings out the same level of accuracy and efficient utilization of underlying computing resources. Intel® Distribution of OpenVINO* Toolkit facilitates the optimization of a deep learning model from a framework and deployment using an inference engine on such computing platforms based on Intel hardware accelerators. This section covers the steps to use this toolkit for model quantization and measure its performance.

Model conversion to OpenVINO* Intermediate Representation (IR) conversion

Below script is used to convert FP32 model to ONNX model representation.

usage: convert_to_onnx.py [-h] [-o OUTPATH] [-w WEIGHTS] [-mname MODEL_NAME]

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -o OUTPATH, --outpath OUTPATH
                        absolute path to save converted model. By default it will be saved in "./openvino/openvino_models/openvino_onnx" folder
  -w WEIGHTS, --weights WEIGHTS
                        Model Weights in ".pt" format
  -mname MODEL_NAME, --model_name MODEL_NAME
                        Name of the model to be created in ".onnx" format, default "TrafficOD"

Here is an example of how to use convert_to_onnx.py:

python $YOLO_DIR/openvino/convert_to_onnx.py -o $OUTPUT_DIR/models/openvino_models/openvino_onnx -w $OUTPUT_DIR/models/yolov5s.pt

The converted model will be saved to the $OUTPUT_DIR/models/openvino_models/openvino_onnx in .onnx format.

Below command is used to convert the onnx model to OpenVINO* IR model format. mo has more arguments for the user to use, but for this case only --input_model and --output_dir are needed. For more options check --help.

mo --input_model <onnx model> --output_dir <output dir path to save the IR model>

arguments:

  --input_model     onnx model
  --output_dir      path of the folder to save the OpenVINO IR model format

The above command will generate bin and xml files as output which can be used for OpenVINO* inference, with FP32 as default precision.

Here is an example of how to use mo:

mo --input_model $OUTPUT_DIR/models/openvino_models/openvino_onnx/TrafficOD_Onnx_Model.onnx --output_dir $OUTPUT_DIR/models/openvino_models/openvino_ir

Model Performance with OpenVINO* Post-Training Optimization Tool

Post-training Optimization Tool (POT) is designed to accelerate the inference of deep learning models by applying special methods without model retraining or fine-tuning. One such method is post-training quantization.

benchmark_app has more arguments for the user to use, but for this case only --modelpath is needed. For more options check --help.

benchmark_app -m <path of onnx model>

argument:

  -m,--modelpath   path of model in onnx format

The example below is used to run the benchmark tool for the ONNX model generated.

benchmark_app -m $OUTPUT_DIR/models/openvino_models/openvino_onnx/TrafficOD_Onnx_Model.onnx -api async -niter 120 -nireq 1 -b 1 -nstreams 1 -nthreads 8 -hint none

Below example is used to run the benchmark tool for the OpenVINO* IR model.

benchmark_app -m $OUTPUT_DIR/models/openvino_models/openvino_ir/TrafficOD_Onnx_Model.xml -api async -niter 120 -nireq 1 -b 1 -nstreams 1 -nthreads 8 -hint none

Model Conversion Using OpenVINO* Quantization

openvino_quantization.py is used to convert OpenVINO* IR model to OpenVINO* INT8 model representation.

usage: openvino_quantization.py [-h] [-m FPIR_MODELPATH] [-o OUTPATH] [-d DATA_YAML] [-b BATCHSIZE]

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -m FPIR_MODELPATH, --FPIR_modelpath FPIR_MODELPATH
                        FP32 IR Model absolute path without extension
  -o OUTPATH, --outpath OUTPATH
                        default output quantized model will be save in path specified by outpath
  -d DATA_YAML, --data_yaml DATA_YAML
                        Absolute path to the yaml file containing paths data/ download data
  -b BATCHSIZE, --batchsize BATCHSIZE
                        batch size used for loading the data

Run the following example to run OpenVINO* quantization.

python $YOLO_DIR/openvino/openvino_quantization.py -o $OUTPUT_DIR/models/openvino_models/openvino_quantized -d $YOLO_DIR/data/VOC.yaml -b 1 -m $OUTPUT_DIR/models/openvino_models/openvino_ir/

After running the above command, we can verify that bin, xml and mapping files (quantized model) got generated on $OUTPUT_DIR/models/openvino_models/openvino_quantized path.

Model Performance Using Quantized (INT8) Model

Use the example below to run the benchmark tool for the Quantized OpenVINO* IR model.

benchmark_app -m $OUTPUT_DIR/models/openvino_models/openvino_quantized/torch_jit.xml -api async -niter 120 -nireq 1 -b 1 -nstreams 1 -nthreads 8 -hint none

Clean Up Bare Metal

Before proceeding to the cleaning process, it is strongly recommended to make a backup of the data that the user wants to keep. To clean the previously downloaded and generated data, run the following commands:

conda activate base
conda env remove -n traffic_detection_intel

rm -rf $DATA_DIR $OUTPUT_DIR $YOLO_DIR

To remove WORKSPACE:

rm -rf $WORKSPACE

Summary and Next Steps

The ML pipeline can be break down into the following main tasks:

Preprocessing (normalization and resizing) of VOC dataset using COCO classes.
Set yolov5 weights for fine-tuning by using yolov5s.pt pretrained model and run training using the preprocessed dataset.
Run yolov5 inference on a subset of images.
The YOLO results are post processed; by using NMS and centroid-based distance calculation of detected objects possible collision can be detected.
Provide a risk assessment as output.

This exercise for traffic camera object detection can be used as a reference implementation across similar use cases with Intel AI optimizations enabled to accelerate the E2E process.
