box_decoder_and_assign¶

paddle.fluid.layers.detection. box_decoder_and_assign ( prior_box, prior_box_var, target_box, box_score, box_clip, name=None ) [source]

Bounding Box Coder.

Decode the target bounding box with the prior_box information.

The Decoding schema is described below:

$$ ox = (pw \times pxv \times tx + px) - \frac{tw}{2} $$ $$ oy = (ph \times pyv \times ty + py) - \frac{th}{2} $$ $$ ow = \exp (pwv \times tw) \times pw + \frac{tw}{2} $$ $$ oh = \exp (phv \times th) \times ph + \frac{th}{2} $$

where tx, ty, tw, th denote the target box’s center coordinates, width and height respectively. Similarly, px, py, pw, ph denote the prior_box’s (anchor) center coordinates, width and height. pxv, pyv, pwv, phv denote the variance of the prior_box and ox, oy, ow, oh denote the decoded coordinates, width and height in decode_box.

decode_box is obtained after box decode, then assigning schema is described below:

For each prior_box, use the best non-background class’s decoded values to update the prior_box locations and get output_assign_box. So, the shape of output_assign_box is the same as PriorBox.

Parameters

• prior_box (Variable) – (Tensor, default Tensor<float>) Box list PriorBox is a 2-D Tensor with shape [N, 4] which holds N boxes and each box is represented as [xmin, ymin, xmax, ymax], [xmin, ymin] is the left top coordinate of the anchor box, if the input is image feature map, they are close to the origin of the coordinate system. [xmax, ymax] is the right bottom coordinate of the anchor box

• prior_box_var (Variable) – (Tensor, default Tensor<float>, optional) PriorBoxVar is a 2-D Tensor with shape [N, 4] which holds N group of variance. PriorBoxVar will set all elements to 1 by default

• target_box (Variable) – (LoDTensor or Tensor) This input can be a 2-D LoDTensor with shape [N, classnum*4]. It holds N targets for N boxes

• box_score (Variable) – (LoDTensor or Tensor) This input can be a 2-D LoDTensor with shape [N, classnum], each box is represented as [classnum] which is the classification probabilities

• box_clip (FLOAT) – (float, default 4.135, np.log(1000. / 16.)) clip box to prevent overflowing

• name (str, optional) – For detailed information, please refer to Name. Usually name is no need to set and None by default.

Returns

decode_box(Variable): (LoDTensor or Tensor) the output tensor of op with shape [N, classnum * 4] representing the result of N target boxes decoded with M Prior boxes and variances for each class

output_assign_box(Variable): (LoDTensor or Tensor) the output tensor of op with shape [N, 4] representing the result of N target boxes decoded with M Prior boxes and variances with the best non-background class by BoxScore

Return type

Tuple
