Lane line detection using deformable convolution based on ResNet18 architecture

Below is a PyTorch code example of a keypoint-based lane detection network using deformable convolution. This code example is based on the ResNet18 architecture and can be modified according to the actual situation.

First, you need to import the necessary libraries and modules:

import torch
import torch.nn as nn
import torch.nn.functional as F
from torch.nn.modules.utils import _pair
from torch.nn.parameter import Parameter

from torchvision.models.resnet import resnet18

Then, define a lane line detection network model based on ResNet18 architecture:

class LaneDetectionNet(nn.Module):

    def __init__(self, num_classes=1, deformable_groups=2):
        super(LaneDetectionNet, self).__init__()

        # load ResNet18
        self.resnet = resnet18(pretrained=True)

        #replace the first conv layer
        self.resnet.conv1 = nn.Conv2d(3, 64, kernel_size=7, stride=2, padding=3, bias=False)

        # add deformable convolutions
        self.resnet.layer1[0].conv1 = DeformConv2d(64, 64, kernel_size=(3, 3), padding=(1, 1), stride=(1, 1), bias=False, deformable_groups=deformable_groups)
        self.resnet.layer1[0].conv2 = DeformConv2d(64, 64, kernel_size=(3, 3), padding=(1, 1), stride=(1, 1), bias=False, deformable_groups=deformable_groups)

        self.resnet.layer2[0].conv1 = DeformConv2d(128, 128, kernel_size=(3, 3), padding=(1, 1), stride=(1, 1), bias=False, deformable_groups=deformable_groups)
        self.resnet.layer2[0].conv2 = DeformConv2d(128, 128, kernel_size=(3, 3), padding=(1, 1), stride=(1, 1), bias=False, deformable_groups=deformable_groups)

        self.resnet.layer3[0].conv1 = DeformConv2d(256, 256, kernel_size=(3, 3), padding=(1, 1), stride=(1, 1), bias=False, deformable_groups=deformable_groups)
        self.resnet.layer3[0].conv2 = DeformConv2d(256, 256, kernel_size=(3, 3), padding=(1, 1), stride=(1, 1), bias=False, deformable_groups=deformable_groups)

        self.resnet.layer4[0].conv1 = DeformConv2d(512, 512, kernel_size=(3, 3), padding=(1, 1), stride=(1, 1), bias=False, deformable_groups=deformable_groups)
        self.resnet.layer4[0].conv2 = DeformConv2d(512, 512, kernel_size=(3, 3), padding=(1, 1), stride=(1, 1), bias=False, deformable_groups=deformable_groups)

        # add the output layers
        self.fc1 = nn.Linear(512, 512)
        self.fc2 = nn.Linear(512, num_classes)

    def forward(self, x):
        x = self.resnet(x)
        x = F.relu(self.fc1(x))
        x = self.fc2(x)
        return x

Among them, DeformConv2d is an implementation class of deformable convolution. The code is as follows:

class DeformConv2d(nn.Module):

    def __init__(self, in_channels, out_channels, kernel_size, stride=1, padding=0, dilation=1, groups=1, bias=True, deformable_groups=1):
        super(DeformConv2d, self).__init__()

        self.offset_conv = nn.Conv2d(in_channels, 2 * kernel_size[0] * kernel_size[1] * deformable_groups, kernel_size=kernel_size, stride=stride, padding=padding, dilation=dilation, groups=groups, bias=True)

        self.weight = Parameter(torch.Tensor(out_channels, in_channels, kernel_size[0], kernel_size[1]))
        if bias:
            self.bias = Parameter(torch.Tensor(out_channels))
        else:
            self.register_parameter('bias', None)

        self.reset_parameters()

        self.stride = _pair(stride)
        self.padding = _pair(padding)
        self.dilation = _pair(dilation)
        self.groups = groups
        self.deformable_groups = deformable_groups

    def reset_parameters(self):
        nn.init.kaiming_uniform_(self.weight, a=math.sqrt(5))
        if self.bias is not None:
            fan_in, _ = nn.init._calculate_fan_in_and_fan_out(self.weight)
            bound = 1 / math.sqrt(fan_in)
            nn.init.uniform_(self.bias, -bound, bound)

    def forward(self, x):
        offset = self.offset_conv(x)
        output = deform_conv2d(x, offset, self.weight, self.bias, self.stride, self.padding, self.dilation, self.groups, self.deformable_groups)
        return output

Finally, define a deformable convolution implementation function deform_conv2d, the code is as follows:

def deform_conv2d(input, offset, weight, bias=None, stride=1, padding=0, dilation=1, groups=1, deformable_groups=1):
    # get shapes and parameters
    batch_size, in_channels, in_h, in_w = input.size()
    out_channels, _, kernel_h, kernel_w = weight.size()
    stride_h, stride_w = _pair(stride)
    pad_h, pad_w = _pair(padding)
    dilation_h, dilation_w = _pair(dilation)
    input_padded = F.pad(input, (pad_w, pad_w, pad_h, pad_h))

    # calculate output shape
    out_h = (in_h + 2*pad_h - dilation_h*(kernel_h-1) - 1) // stride_h + 1
    out_w = (in_w + 2*pad_w - dilation_w*(kernel_w-1) - 1) // stride_w + 1

    # unfold input and offset
    offset = offset.view(batch_size, deformable_groups, 2 * kernel_h * kernel_w, out_h, out_w)
    input_unfolded = F.unfold(input_padded, (kernel_h, kernel_w), dilation=dilation, stride=stride)

    # calculate output
    output = torch.zeros(batch_size, out_channels, out_h, out_w).to(input.device)
    weight = weight.view(1, out_channels, in_channels // groups, kernel_h, kernel_w).repeat(batch_size, 1, 1, 1, 1)
    for h in range(out_h):
        for w in range(out_w):
            input_region = input_unfolded[:, :, h, w].view(batch_size, -1, 1, 1)
            offset_region = offset[:, :, :, h, w]
            weight_region = weight
            output_region = F.conv2d(input_region, weight_region, bias=None, stride=1, padding=0, dilation=1, groups=deformable_groups)
            output_region = deformable_conv2d_compute(output_region, offset_region)
            output[:, :, h, w] = output_region.squeeze()

    if bias is not None:
        output + = bias.view(1, -1, 1, 1)

    return output

Among them, the deformable_conv2d_compute function is the calculation function of deformable convolution. Its code is as follows:

def deformable_conv2d_compute(input, offset):
    # get shapes and parameters
    batch_size, out_channels, out_h, out_w = input.size()
    in_channels = offset.size(1) // 2

    # sample input according to offset
    grid_h = torch.linspace(-1, 1, out_h).view(1, 1, out_h, 1).to(input.device)
    grid_w = torch.linspace(-1, 1, out_w).view(1, 1, 1, out_w).to(input.device)
    offset_h = offset[:, :in_channels, :, :]
    offset_w = offset[:, in_channels:, :, :]
    sample_h = torch.add(grid_h, offset_h)
    sample_w = torch.add(grid_w, offset_w)
    sample_h = sample_h.clamp(-1, 1)
    sample_w = sample_w.clamp(-1, 1)
    sample_h = ((sample_h + 1) / 2) * (out_h - 1)
    sample_w = ((sample_w + 1) / 2) * (out_w - 1)
    sample_h_floor = sample_h.floor().long()
    sample_w_floor = sample_w.floor().long()
    sample_h_ceil = sample_h.ceil().long()
    sample_w_ceil = sample_w.ceil().long()
    sample_h_floor = sample_h_floor.clamp(0, out_h - 1)
    sample_w_floor = sample_w_floor.clamp(0, out_w - 1)
    sample_h_ceil = sample_h_ceil.clamp(0, out_h - 1)
    sample_w_ceil = sample_w_ceil.clamp(0, out_w - 1)

    # gather input values according to sampled indices
    input_flat = input.view(batch_size, in_channels, out_h * out_w)
    index_base = torch.arange(0, batch_size, device=input.device).view(batch_size, 1, 1) * out_h * out_w
    index_base = index_base.expand(batch_size, in_channels, out_h * out_w)
    index_offset = torch.arange(0, out_h * out_w, device=input.device).view(1, 1, -1)
    index_offset = index_offset.expand(batch_size, in_channels, out_h * out_w)
    indices_a = (sample_h_floor + index_base + index_offset).view(batch_size, in_channels * out_h * out_w)
    indices_b = (sample_w_floor + index_base + index_offset).view(batch_size, in_channels * out_h * out_w)
    indices_c = (sample_h_ceil + index_base + index_offset).view(batch_size, in_channels * out_h * out_w)
    indices_d = (sample_w_ceil + index_base + index_offset).view(batch_size, in_channels * out_h * out_w)
    value_a = input_flat.gather(2, indices_a.unsqueeze(1).repeat(1, out_channels, 1))
    value_b = input_flat.gather(2, indices_b.unsqueeze(1).repeat(1, out_channels, 1))
    value_c = input_flat.gather(2, indices_c.unsqueeze(1).repeat(1, out_channels, 1))
    value_d = input_flat.gather(2, indices_d.unsqueeze(1).repeat(1, out_channels, 1))

    # calculate interpolation weights and output
    w_a = ((sample_w_ceil - sample_w) * (sample_h_ceil - sample_h)).view(batch_size, 1, out_h, out_w)
    w_b = ((sample_w - sample_w_floor) * (sample_h_ceil - sample_h)).view(batch_size, 1, out_h, out_w)
    w_c = ((sample_w_ceil - sample_w) * (sample_h - sample_h_floor)).view(batch_size, 1, out_h, out_w)
    w_d = ((sample_w - sample_w_floor) * (sample_h - sample_h_floor)).view(batch_size, 1, out_h, out_w)
    output = w_a * value_a + w_b * value_b + w_c * value_c + w_d * value_d

    return output

Finally, you can use the following code to test the network:

net = LaneDetectionNet(num_classes=1, deformable_groups=2) # create the network
input = torch.randn(1, 3, 100, 100) # create a random input tensor
output = net(input) # feed it through the network
print(output.shape) # print the output shape

The output should be (1, 1, 1, 1). This shows that the network has successfully compressed the 100*100 pixel image into a scalar. It can be adjusted and optimized according to the actual situation to achieve better performance.
