Official RCS-YOLO

This is the source code for the paper titled "RCS-YOLO: A Fast and High-Accuracy Object Detector for Brain Tumor Detection" published in the Proceedings of the 26th International Conference on Medical Image Computing and Computer Assisted Intervention (MICCAI 2023), of which I am the first author. The paper is available to download from Springer or arXiv.

Model

The model configuration (i.e., network construction) file is rcs-yolo.yaml (2 heads) or rcs3-yolo.yaml (3 heads) in the directory ./cfg/training/. The RepVGG/RepConv ShuffleNet based One-Shot Aggregation (RCS-OSA) module file is rcsosa.py in the directory ./models/, which is the unique module we proposed.

Recommended dependencies:

Python <= 3.8
Torch <= 1.7.1
CUDA <= 11.1

Training

The hyperparameter setting file is hyp_training.yaml in the directory ./data/.

Single GPU training

python train.py --workers 8 --device 0 --batch-size 32 --data data/br35h.yaml --img 640 640 --cfg cfg/training/rcs-yolo.yaml --weights '' --name rcs-yolo --hyp data/hyp_training.yaml

Multiple GPU training

python -m torch.distributed.launch --nproc_per_node 4 --master_port 9527 train.py --workers 8 --device 0,1,2,3 --sync-bn --batch-size 128 --data data/br35h.yaml --img 640 640 --cfg cfg/training/rcs-yolo.yaml --weights '' --name rcs-yolo --hyp data/hyp_training.yaml

Testing

The model weights we pretrained on the brain tumor detection was saved as best.pt in the directory ./runs/train/exp/weights/.

python test.py --data data/br35h.yaml --img 640 --batch 32 --conf 0.001 --iou 0.65 --device 0 --weights runs/train/exp/weights/best.pt --name val

Evaluation

We trained and evaluated RCS-YOLO on the dataset Br35H :: Brain Tumor Detection 2020. The .txt format annotations in the folder dataset-Br35H are coverted from original json format. We used 500 images of which in the ’traindata’ folder were selected as the training set, while the other 201 images in the ’valdata’ folder as the testing set.

The screenshots of evaluation results were saved in the directory ./runs/val/.

Ablation Study

The files train_repvgg-csp.py and https://test_repvgg-csp.py are used for an ablation study of the comparison network repvgg-csp.yaml in the directory ./cfg/ablation/.
