接著上一節《 faster rcnn學習之rpn訓練全過程》，假定我們已經訓好了rpn網絡，下面我們看看如何利用訓練好的rpn網絡生成proposal.

其網絡為rpn_test.pt

同樣借用文獻[1]的圖 ，網絡繪制出來如下：我們發現與rpn基本相同。

接著rpn_cls_score_reshape使用softmax輸出了rpn_cls_prob，再reshape回去，輸出rpn_cls_prob_reshape。

最后rpn_cls_prob_reshape（1*18*13*13），rpn_bbox_pred（1*36*13*13），im_info （1*3）輸入到proposal層中輸出了rois與scores。

}

我們來看看proposal_layer，

  def setup(self, bottom, top):# parse the layer parameter string, which must be valid YAMLlayer_params = yaml.load(self.param_str_)self._feat_stride = layer_params['feat_stride']anchor_scales = layer_params.get('scales', (8, 16, 32))self._anchors = generate_anchors(scales=np.array(anchor_scales))self._num_anchors = self._anchors.shape[0]if DEBUG:print 'feat_stride: {}'.format(self._feat_stride)print 'anchors:'print self._anchors# rois blob: holds R regions of interest, each is a 5-tuple# (n, x1, y1, x2, y2) specifying an image batch index n and a# rectangle (x1, y1, x2, y2)top[0].reshape(1, 5)# scores blob: holds scores for R regions of interestif len(top) > 1:top[1].reshape(1, 1, 1, 1)

同 anchor_target_layer.py 的setup類似，設置了top的shape,并且生成了左上角頂點的anchors。

    def forward(self, bottom, top):# Algorithm:## for each (H, W) location i#   generate A anchor boxes centered on cell i#   apply predicted bbox deltas at cell i to each of the A anchors# clip predicted boxes to image# remove predicted boxes with either height or width < threshold# sort all (proposal, score) pairs by score from highest to lowest# take top pre_nms_topN proposals before NMS# apply NMS with threshold 0.7 to remaining proposals# take after_nms_topN proposals after NMS# return the top proposals (-> RoIs top, scores top)assert bottom[0].data.shape[0] == 1, \'Only single item batches are supported'cfg_key = str(self.phase) # either 'TRAIN' or 'TEST'pre_nms_topN  = cfg[cfg_key].RPN_PRE_NMS_TOP_Npost_nms_topN = cfg[cfg_key].RPN_POST_NMS_TOP_Nnms_thresh    = cfg[cfg_key].RPN_NMS_THRESHmin_size      = cfg[cfg_key].RPN_MIN_SIZE# the first set of _num_anchors channels are bg probs   （前9個是背景，后面的是前景預測）# the second set are the fg probs, which we wantscores = bottom[0].data[:, self._num_anchors:, :, :]bbox_deltas = bottom[1].dataim_info = bottom[2].data[0, :]if DEBUG:print 'im_size: ({}, {})'.format(im_info[0], im_info[1])print 'scale: {}'.format(im_info[2])# 1.

而forward中，先是生成了所有的anchor，然后利用預測地偏移量與生成的anchor一起生成proposal.

再接著進行了一些刪減操作以及nms去重。返回前景分數最高的一些proposals及對應的scores.注意生成的proposal是相對于

輸入尺度的，也就是縮放后的尺度。

我們再回到train_faster_rcnn_alt_opt中。看Stage 1 RPN, generate proposals'

  mp_kwargs = dict(queue=mp_queue,imdb_name=args.imdb_name,rpn_model_path=str(rpn_stage1_out['model_path']),cfg=cfg,rpn_test_prototxt=rpn_test_prototxt)p = mp.Process(target=rpn_generate, kwargs=mp_kwargs)p.start()rpn_stage1_out['proposal_path'] = mp_queue.get()['proposal_path']p.join()

在rpn_generate中，載入了網絡，且使用了生成的rpn網絡，接下來imdb_proposals根據網絡與imdb生成了rpn_proposals。

imdb_proposals在generate.py中。?

def im_proposals(net, im):"""Generate RPN proposals on a single image."""blobs = {}blobs['data'], blobs['im_info'] = _get_image_blob(im)net.blobs['data'].reshape(*(blobs['data'].shape))net.blobs['im_info'].reshape(*(blobs['im_info'].shape))blobs_out = net.forward(data=blobs['data'].astype(np.float32, copy=False),im_info=blobs['im_info'].astype(np.float32, copy=False))scale = blobs['im_info'][0, 2]boxes = blobs_out['rois'][:, 1:].copy() / scalescores = blobs_out['scores'].copy()return boxes, scoresdef imdb_proposals(net, imdb):"""Generate RPN proposals on all images in an imdb."""_t = Timer()imdb_boxes = [[] for _ in xrange(imdb.num_images)]for i in xrange(imdb.num_images):im = cv2.imread(imdb.image_path_at(i))_t.tic()imdb_boxes[i], scores = im_proposals(net, im)_t.toc()print 'im_proposals: {:d}/{:d} {:.3f}s' \.format(i + 1, imdb.num_images, _t.average_time)if 0:dets = np.hstack((imdb_boxes[i], scores))# from IPython import embed; embed()_vis_proposals(im, dets[:3, :], thresh=0.9)plt.show()return imdb_boxes

可以看到在im_proposals中有

  boxes = blobs_out['rois'][:, 1:].copy() / scale

所以rpn生成的proposal經過了縮放，又回到了原始圖片的尺度。

imdb_boxes的shape是N*5.N為盒子的序號。
