Overview

Box Convolution Layer for ConvNets

Single-box-conv network (from `examples/mnist.py`) learns patterns on MNIST

What This Is

This is a PyTorch implementation of the box convolution layer as introduced in the 2018 NeurIPS paper:

Burkov, E., & Lempitsky, V. (2018) Deep Neural Networks with Box Convolutions. Advances in Neural Information Processing Systems 31, 6214-6224.

How to Use

Installing

python3 -m pip install git+https://github.com/shrubb/box-convolutions.git
python3 -m box_convolution.test # if throws errors, please open a GitHub issue

To uninstall:

python3 -m pip uninstall box_convolution

Tested on Ubuntu 18.04.2, Python 3.6, PyTorch 1.0.0, GCC {4.9, 5.5, 6.5, 7.3}, CUDA 9.2. Other versions (e.g. macOS or Python 2.7 or CUDA 8 or CUDA 10) should work too, but I haven't checked. If something doesn't build, please open a Github issue.

Known issues (see this chat):

CUDA 9/9.1 + GCC 6 isn't supported due to a bug in NVCC.

You can specify a different compiler with CC environment variable:

CC=g++-7 python3 -m pip install git+https://github.com/shrubb/box-convolutions.git

Using

import torch
from box_convolution import BoxConv2d

box_conv = BoxConv2d(16, 8, 240, 320)
help(BoxConv2d)

Also, there are usage examples in examples/.

Quick Tour of Box convolutions

You may want to see our poster.

Why reinvent the old convolution?

3×3 convolutions are too small ⮕ receptive field grows too slow ⮕ ConvNets have to be very deep.

This is especially undesirable in dense prediction tasks (segmentation, depth estimation, object detection, ...).

Today people solve this by

dilated/deformable convolutions (can bring artifacts or degrade to 1×1 conv; almost always filter high-frequency);
"global" spatial pooling layers (usually too constrained, fixed size, not "fully convolutional").

How does it work?

Box convolution layer is a basic depthwise convolution (i.e. Conv2d with groups=in_channels) but with special kernels called box kernels.

A box kernel is a rectangular averaging filter. That is, filter values are fixed and unit! Instead, we learn four parameters per rectangle − its size and offset:

Any success stories?

One example: there is an efficient semantic segmentation model ENet. It's a classical hourglass architecture stacked of dozens ResNet-like blocks (left image).

Let's replace some of these blocks by our "box convolution block" (right image).

First we replaced every second block with a box convolution block (BoxENet in the paper). The model became

more accurate,
faster,
lighter
without dilated convolutions.

Then, we replaced every residual block (except the down- and up-sampling ones)! The result, BoxOnlyENet, is

a ConvNet almost without (traditional learnable weight) convolutions,
2 times less operations,
3 times less parameters,
still more accurate than ENet!

Implementation in VGG

I am trying to implement box convolution for HED (Holistically-Nested Edge Detection) which uses VGG architecture. Here's the architecture with box convolution layer:

I get the following error: RuntimeError: BoxConv2d: all parameters must have as many rows as there are input channels (box_convolution_forward at src/box_convolution_interface.cpp:30)

Can you help me with this?

YOLO architecture

Hi,

I want to know if there's some way I can create an architecture that'll work with YOLO. I've read a lot of implementations with pytorch but I don't know how should I modify the cfg file so that I can add box convolution layer.

Let me know.

Speed and Efficiency of Depthwise separable operation?

As far as modern libraries are concerned, there is not much support for depth-wise separable operations, i.e. we cannot write custom operations that can be done depthwise. Only convolutions are supported.

How did you apply M box convolutions to each of the N input filters, to generate NM output filters? How is the different than using a for loop over the N input filters, applying M box convs on each one, and concatenating all the results?

how box convolution works

Hi,

It is a nice work. In the first figure on your poster, you compared the 3x3 convolution layer and your box convolution layer. I am not clear how the box convolution works. Is it right that for each position (p,q) on the image, you use a box filter which has a relative position x, y to (p,q) and size w,h to calculate the value for (p,q) on the output? You learn the 4 parameters x, y, w, h for each box filter. For example, in the figure, the value for the red anchor pixel position on the output should be the sum of the values in the box. Is it correct? Thanks.

How can I run Cityscapes example on a test set?

Hello, collegues! I've trained BoxERFNet, and now I wanna run this model on a test set to evaluate it. I checked the source code(train.py) and established 'test' in place of 'test' in 80th string. But there was falure, the evaluated metrics were incorrect(e.g. 0.0 and 0.0). Can you explain me, what I need to do to evaluate model on a test set? I guess that problem is on 'validate' function(241th string), because confusion_matrix_update(268th string) tensors are really different in test and val sets.
