FID

class ignite.metrics.FID(num_features=None, feature_extractor=None, output_transform=<function FID.<lambda>>, device=device(type='cpu'))

Calculates Frechet Inception Distance.

$$\text{FID} = |\mu_{1} - \mu_{2}| + \text{Tr}(\sigma_{1} + \sigma_{2} - {2}\sqrt{\sigma_1*\sigma_2})$$

where $\mu_1$ and $\sigma_1$ refer to the mean and covariance of the train data and $\mu_2$ and $\sigma_2$ refer to the mean and covariance of the test data.

More details can be found in Heusel et al. 2002

In addition, a faster and online computation approach can be found in Chen et al. 2014

Remark:

This implementation is inspired by pytorch_fid package which can be found here

Note

The default Inception model requires the torchvision module to be installed. FID also requires scipy library for matrix square root calculations.

Parameters

• num_features (Optional[int]) – number of features predicted by the model or the reduced feature vector of the image. Default value is 2048.

• feature_extractor (Optional[Module]) – a torch Module for extracting the features from the input data. It returns a tensor of shape (batch_size, num_features). If neither num_features nor feature_extractor are defined, by default we use an ImageNet pretrained Inception Model. If only num_features is defined but feature_extractor is not defined, feature_extractor is assigned Identity Function. Please note that the model will be implicitly converted to device mentioned in the device argument.

• output_transform (Callable) – a callable that is used to transform the Engine’s process_function’s output into the form expected by the metric. This can be useful if, for example, you have a multi-output model and you want to compute the metric with respect to one of the outputs. By default, metrics require the output as (y_pred, y) or {'y_pred': y_pred, 'y': y}.

• device (Union[str, device]) – specifies which device updates are accumulated on. Setting the metric’s device to be the same as your update arguments ensures the update method is non-blocking. By default, CPU.

Note

The default torchvision model used is InceptionV3 pretrained on ImageNet. This can lead to differences in results with pytorch_fid. To find comparable results, the following model wrapper should be used:

import torch.nn as nn

# wrapper class as feature_extractor
class WrapperInceptionV3(nn.Module):

    def __init__(self, fid_incv3):
        super().__init__()
        self.fid_incv3 = fid_incv3

    @torch.no_grad()
    def forward(self, x):
        y = self.fid_incv3(x)
        y = y[0]
        y = y[:, :, 0, 0]
        return y

# use cpu rather than cuda to get comparable results
device = "cpu"

# pytorch_fid model
dims = 2048
block_idx = InceptionV3.BLOCK_INDEX_BY_DIM[dims]
model = InceptionV3([block_idx]).to(device)

# wrapper model to pytorch_fid model
wrapper_model = WrapperInceptionV3(model)
wrapper_model.eval();

# comparable metric
pytorch_fid_metric = FID(num_features=dims, feature_extractor=wrapper_model)

Important, pytorch_fid results depend on the batch size if the device is cuda.

New in version 0.4.6.

Methods

compute	Computes the metric based on its accumulated state.
reset	Resets the metric to its initial state.
update	Updates the metric's state using the passed batch output.

compute()

Computes the metric based on its accumulated state.

By default, this is called at the end of each epoch.

Returns

the actual quantity of interest. However, if a Mapping is returned, it will be (shallow) flattened into engine.state.metrics when completed() is called.

Return type

Any

Raises

NotComputableError – raised when the metric cannot be computed.

reset()

Resets the metric to its initial state.

By default, this is called at the start of each epoch.

Return type

None

update(output)

Updates the metric’s state using the passed batch output.

By default, this is called once for each batch.

Parameters

output (Sequence[Tensor]) – the is the output from the engine’s process function.

Return type

None
