Detect waste

AI4Good project for detecting waste in environment. www.detectwaste.ml.

Our latest results were published in Waste Management journal in article titled Deep learning-based waste detection in natural and urban environments.

You can find more technical details in our technical report Waste detection in Pomerania: non-profit project for detecting waste in environment.

Did you know that we produce 300 million tons of plastic every year? And only the part of it is properly recycled.

The idea of detect waste project is to use Artificial Intelligence to detect plastic waste in the environment. Our solution is applicable for video and photography. Our goal is to use AI for Good.

Data preprocessing

Multiclass training

To train only on TACO dataset with detect-waste classes:

• run annotations_preprocessing.py

  python3 annotations_preprocessing.py

  new annotations will be saved in annotations/annotations_train.json and annotations/annotations_test.json

  For binary detection (litter and background) check also generated new annotations saved in annotations/annotations_binary_train.json and annotations/annotations_binary_test.json.

Single class training

To train on one or multiple datasets on a single class:

• run annotations_preprocessing_multi.py

  python3 annotations_preprocessing_multi.py

  new annotations will be split and saved in annotations/binary_mixed_train.json and annotations/binary_mixed_test.json

  Example bash file is in annotations_preprocessing_multi.sh and can be run by

  bash annotations_preprocessing_multi.sh

Script will automatically split all datasets to train and test set with MultilabelStratifiedShuffleSplit. Then it will convert datasets to one class - litter. Finally all datasets will be concatenated to form single train and test files annotations/binary_mixed_train.json and annotations/binary_mixed_test.

For more details check annotations directory.

Models

To read more about past waste detection works check litter-detection-review.

• EfficientDet

  To train EfficientDet check efficientdet/README.md

  To train EfficientDet implemented in Pytorch Lightning check branch effdet_lightning

  We based our implementation on efficientdet-pytorch by Ross Wightman.

• DETR

  To train detr check detr/README.md (WIP)

  PyTorch training code and pretrained models for DETR (DEtection TRansformer). Authors replaced the full complex hand-crafted object detection pipeline with a Transformer, and matched Faster R-CNN with a ResNet-50, obtaining 42 AP on COCO using half the computation power (FLOPs) and the same number of parameters. Inference in 50 lines of PyTorch.

  For implementation details see End-to-End Object Detection with Transformers by Facebook.

• Mask R-CNN

  To train Mask R-CNN check MaskRCNN/README.md

  Our implementation based on tutorial.

• Faster R-CNN

  To train Faster R-CNN on TACO dataset check FastRCNN/README.md

• Classification with ResNet50 and EfficientNet

  To train choosen model check classifier/README.md

Example usage - models training

1. Waste detection using EfficientDet

In our github repository you will find EfficientDet code already adjusted for our mixed dataset. To run training for single class just clone repository, move to efficientdet directory, install necessary dependencies, and launch train.py script with adjusted parameters, like: path to images, path to directory with annotations (you can use ours provided in annotations directory), model parameters and its specific name. It can be done as in the example below.

python3 train.py path_to_all_images \
--ann_name ../annotations/binary_mixed --model tf_efficientdet_d2 \
--batch-size 4 --decay-rate 0.95 --lr .001 --workers 4 --warmup-epochs 5 \
--model-ema --dataset multi --pretrained --num-classes 1 --color-jitter 0.1 \
--reprob 0.2 --epochs 20 --device cuda:0

2. Waste classification using EfficientNet

In this step switch to classifier directory. At first just crop waste objects from images of waste (the same as in previous step).

python3 cut_bbox_litter.py --src_img path_to_whole_images \
                           --dst_img path_to_destination_directory_for_images \
                           --square --zoom 1

In case of using unlabelled OpenLitterMap dataset, make pseudo-predictions using previously trained EfficientDet and map them with orginal openlittermap annotations.

python3 sort_openlittermap.py \
                        --src_ann path_to_original_openlittermap_annotations \
                        --coco path_to_our_openlittermap_annotations \
                        --src_img path_to_whole_images \
                        --dst_img path_to_destination_directory_for_images

To run classifier training in command line just type:

python train_effnet.py --data_img path/to/images/train/ \
                       --save path/to/checkpoint.ckpt \
                       --model efficientnet-b2 \
                       --gpu 0 \
                       --pseudolabel_mode per-batch

Evaluation

We provided make_predictions.py script to draw bounding boxes on choosen image. For example script can be run on GPU (id=0) with arguments:

    python make_predictions.py --save directory/to/save/image.png \
                               --detector path/to/detector/checkpoint.pth \
                               --classifier path/to/clasifier/checkpoint.pth \
                               --img path/or/url/to/image --device cuda:0

or on video with --video argument:

    python make_predictions.py --save directory/to/save/frames \
                               --detector path/to/detector/checkpoint.pth \
                               --classifier path/to/clasifier/checkpoint.pth \
                               --img path/to/video.mp4 --device cuda:0 --video \
                               --classes label0 label1 label2

If you managed to process all the frames, just run the following command from the directory where you saved the results:

    ffmpeg -i img%08d.jpg movie.mp4

Tracking experiments

For experiment tracking we mostly used neptune.ai. To use Neptune follow the official Neptune tutorial on their website:

• Log in to your account

• Find and set Neptune API token on your system as environment variable (your NEPTUNE_API_TOKEN should be added to ~./bashrc)

• Add your project_qualified_name name in the train_<net_name>.py

    neptune.init(project_qualified_name = 'YOUR_PROJECT_NAME/detect-waste')

  Currently it is set to a private detect-waste neptune space.

• install neptune-client library

    pip install neptune-client
