MMPose Deployment¶
MMPose aka mmpose
is an open-source toolbox for pose estimation based on PyTorch. It is a part of the OpenMMLab project.
Installation¶
Install mmpose¶
Please follow the best practice to install mmpose.
Install mmdeploy¶
There are several methods to install mmdeploy, among which you can choose an appropriate one according to your target platform and device.
Method I: Install precompiled package
You can refer to get_started
Method II: Build using scripts
If your target platform is Ubuntu 18.04 or later version, we encourage you to run
scripts. For example, the following commands install mmdeploy as well as inference engine - ONNX Runtime
.
git clone --recursive -b main https://github.com/open-mmlab/mmdeploy.git
cd mmdeploy
python3 tools/scripts/build_ubuntu_x64_ort.py $(nproc)
export PYTHONPATH=$(pwd)/build/lib:$PYTHONPATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$(pwd)/../mmdeploy-dep/onnxruntime-linux-x64-1.8.1/lib/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
Method III: Build from source
If neither I nor II meets your requirements, building mmdeploy from source is the last option.
Convert model¶
You can use tools/deploy.py to convert mmpose models to the specified backend models. Its detailed usage can be learned from here.
The command below shows an example about converting hrnet
model to onnx model that can be inferred by ONNX Runtime.
cd mmdeploy
# download hrnet model from mmpose model zoo
mim download mmpose --config td-hm_hrnet-w32_8xb64-210e_coco-256x192 --dest .
# convert mmdet model to onnxruntime model with static shape
python tools/deploy.py \
configs/mmpose/pose-detection_onnxruntime_static.py \
td-hm_hrnet-w32_8xb64-210e_coco-256x192.py \
hrnet_w32_coco_256x192-c78dce93_20200708.pth \
demo/resources/human-pose.jpg \
--work-dir mmdeploy_models/mmpose/ort \
--device cpu \
--show
It is crucial to specify the correct deployment config during model conversion. We’ve already provided builtin deployment config files of all supported backends for mmpose. The config filename pattern is:
pose-detection_{backend}-{precision}_{static | dynamic}_{shape}.py
{backend}: inference backend, such as onnxruntime, tensorrt, pplnn, ncnn, openvino, coreml etc.
{precision}: fp16, int8. When it’s empty, it means fp32
{static | dynamic}: static shape or dynamic shape
{shape}: input shape or shape range of a model
Therefore, in the above example, you can also convert hrnet
to other backend models by changing the deployment config file pose-detection_onnxruntime_static.py
to others, e.g., converting to tensorrt model by pose-detection_tensorrt_static-256x192.py
.
Tip
When converting mmpose models to tensorrt models, –device should be set to “cuda”
Model specification¶
Before moving on to model inference chapter, let’s know more about the converted model structure which is very important for model inference.
The converted model locates in the working directory like mmdeploy_models/mmpose/ort
in the previous example. It includes:
mmdeploy_models/mmpose/ort
├── deploy.json
├── detail.json
├── end2end.onnx
└── pipeline.json
in which,
end2end.onnx: backend model which can be inferred by ONNX Runtime
*.json: the necessary information for mmdeploy SDK
The whole package mmdeploy_models/mmpose/ort is defined as mmdeploy SDK model, i.e., mmdeploy SDK model includes both backend model and inference meta information.
Model inference¶
Backend model inference¶
Take the previous converted end2end.onnx
model as an example, you can use the following code to inference the model and visualize the results.
from mmdeploy.apis.utils import build_task_processor
from mmdeploy.utils import get_input_shape, load_config
import torch
deploy_cfg = 'configs/mmpose/pose-detection_onnxruntime_static.py'
model_cfg = 'td-hm_hrnet-w32_8xb64-210e_coco-256x192.py'
device = 'cpu'
backend_model = ['./mmdeploy_models/mmpose/ort/end2end.onnx']
image = './demo/resources/human-pose.jpg'
# read deploy_cfg and model_cfg
deploy_cfg, model_cfg = load_config(deploy_cfg, model_cfg)
# build task and backend model
task_processor = build_task_processor(model_cfg, deploy_cfg, device)
model = task_processor.build_backend_model(backend_model)
# process input image
input_shape = get_input_shape(deploy_cfg)
model_inputs, _ = task_processor.create_input(image, input_shape)
# do model inference
with torch.no_grad():
result = model.test_step(model_inputs)
# visualize results
task_processor.visualize(
image=image,
model=model,
result=result[0],
window_name='visualize',
output_file='output_pose.png')
