This is an official implementation of the AAAI-2021 paper "KGDet: Keypoint-Guided Fashion Detection".

To avoid problems, please install this repo in a pure conda virtual environment.

First, enter the root directory of this repo. Install CUDA and PyTorch with conda.

conda install -c pytorch -c conda-forge pytorch==1.4.0 torchvision==0.5.0 cudatoolkit-dev=10.1 

Then, install other dependencies with pip.

pip install -r requirements.txt

cd deepfashion2_api/PythonAPI
pip install -e .

Our code is based on mmdetection, which is a clean open-sourced project for benchmarking object detection methods.

cd ../../mmdetection
python setup.py develop

Now the repo is ready, let's go back to the root directory.

cd ..

If you need to run experiments on the entire DeepFashion2 dataset, please refer to DeepFashion2 for detailed guidance. Otherwise, you can skip to the Demo dataset subsection.

After downloading and unpacking the dataset, please create a soft link from the code repository to the dataset's root directory.

ln -s <root dir of DeepFashion2> data/deepfashion2

We provide a subset (32 images) of DeepFashion2 to enable quick-experiment.

The checkpoints can be fetched from this OneDrive link.

Test with 1 gpu

./mmdetection/tools/dist_test.sh configs/kgdet_moment_r50_fpn_1x-demo.py checkpoints/KGDet_epoch-12.pth 1 --json_out work_dirs/demo_KGDet.json --eval bbox keypoints

• Results files will be stored as work_dirs/demo_KGDet.json.
• If you only need the prediction results, you can drop --eval and its arguments.

Train with 4 gpus

./mmdetection/tools/dist_train.sh configs/kgdet_moment_r50_fpn_1x-deepfashion2.py 4 --validate --work_dir work_dirs/TRAIN_KGDet

• The running log and checkpoints will be stored in the work_dirs/TRAIN_KGDet directory according to the argument --work_dir.
• --validate evokes a validation section after each training epoch.

Test with 4 gpus

./mmdetection/tools/dist_test.sh configs/kgdet_moment_r50_fpn_1x-deepfashion2.py checkpoints/KGDet_epoch-12.pth 4 --json_out work_dirs/result_KGDet.json --eval bbox keypoints

• Results files will be stored as work_dirs/result_KGDet.json.

If you would like to run our model on your own data, you can imitate the structure of the demo_dataset (an image directory plus a JSON file), and adjust the arguments in the configuration file.

This repo is built upon RepPoints and mmdetection.
