torchvision.ops

torchvision.ops implements operators that are specific for Computer Vision.

Note

All operators have native support for TorchScript.

torchvision.ops.nms(boxes: torch.Tensor, scores: torch.Tensor, iou_threshold: float) → torch.Tensor[source]

Performs non-maximum suppression (NMS) on the boxes according to their intersection-over-union (IoU).

NMS iteratively removes lower scoring boxes which have an IoU greater than iou_threshold with another (higher scoring) box.

If multiple boxes have the exact same score and satisfy the IoU criterion with respect to a reference box, the selected box is not guaranteed to be the same between CPU and GPU. This is similar to the behavior of argsort in PyTorch when repeated values are present.

Parameters:
  • boxes (Tensor[N, 4])) – boxes to perform NMS on. They are expected to be in (x1, y1, x2, y2) format with 0 <= x1 < x2 and 0 <= y1 < y2.
  • scores (Tensor[N]) – scores for each one of the boxes
  • iou_threshold (float) – discards all overlapping boxes with IoU > iou_threshold
Returns:

int64 tensor with the indices

of the elements that have been kept by NMS, sorted in decreasing order of scores

Return type:

keep (Tensor)

torchvision.ops.batched_nms(boxes: torch.Tensor, scores: torch.Tensor, idxs: torch.Tensor, iou_threshold: float) → torch.Tensor[source]

Performs non-maximum suppression in a batched fashion.

Each index value correspond to a category, and NMS will not be applied between elements of different categories.

Parameters:
  • boxes (Tensor[N, 4]) – boxes where NMS will be performed. They are expected to be in (x1, y1, x2, y2) format with 0 <= x1 < x2 and 0 <= y1 < y2.
  • scores (Tensor[N]) – scores for each one of the boxes
  • idxs (Tensor[N]) – indices of the categories for each one of the boxes.
  • iou_threshold (float) – discards all overlapping boxes with IoU > iou_threshold
Returns:

int64 tensor with the indices of

the elements that have been kept by NMS, sorted in decreasing order of scores

Return type:

keep (Tensor)

torchvision.ops.remove_small_boxes(boxes: torch.Tensor, min_size: float) → torch.Tensor[source]

They keyword-only parameters canonical_scale and canonical_level correspond respectively to 224 and k0=4 in eq. 1, and have the following meaning: canonical_level is the target level of the pyramid from which to pool a region of interest with w x h = canonical_scale x canonical_scale.

  • featmap_names (List[str]) – the names of the feature maps that will be used for the pooling.
  • output_size (List[Tuple[int, int]] or List[int]) – output size for the pooled region
  • sampling_ratio (int) – sampling ratio for ROIAlign

Module that adds a FPN from on top of a set of feature maps. This is based on “Feature Pyramid Network for Object Detection”.

The feature maps are currently supposed to be in increasing depth order.

The input to the model is expected to be an OrderedDict[Tensor], containing the feature maps on top of which the FPN will be added.

  • in_channels_list (list[int]) – number of channels for each feature map that is passed to the module
  • out_channels (int) – number of channels of the FPN representation
  • extra_blocks (ExtraFPNBlock or None) – if provided, extra operations will be performed. It is expected to take the fpn features, the original features and the names of the original features as input, and returns a new list of feature maps and their corresponding names
