MMOCR Deployment

MMOCR aka mmocr is an open-source toolbox based on PyTorch and mmdetection for text detection, text recognition, and the corresponding downstream tasks including key information extraction. It is a part of the OpenMMLab project.

Installation

Install mmocr

Please follow the installation guide to install mmocr. If you have already done that, please move on to the next section.

Install mmdeploy

There are several methods to install mmdeploy, among which you can choose an appropriate one according to your target platform and device.

Method I: Install precompiled package

TODO. MMDeploy hasn't released based on dev-1.x branch.

Method II: Build using scripts

If your target platform is Ubuntu 18.04 or later version, we encourage you to run scripts. For example, the following commands install mmdeploy as well as inference engine - ONNX Runtime.

git clone --recursive -b dev-1.x https://github.com/open-mmlab/mmdeploy.git
cd mmdeploy
python3 tools/scripts/build_ubuntu_x64_ort.py $(nproc)
export PYTHONPATH=$(pwd)/build/lib:$PYTHONPATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$(pwd)/../mmdeploy-dep/onnxruntime-linux-x64-1.8.1/lib/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Method III: Build from source

If neither I nor II meets your requirements, building mmdeploy from source is the last option.

Convert model

You can use tools/deploy.py to convert mmocr models to the specified backend models. Its detailed usage can be learned from here.

When using tools/deploy.py, it is crucial to specify the correct deployment config. We've already provided builtin deployment config files of all supported backends for mmocr, under which the config file path follows the pattern:

{task}/{task}_{backend}-{precision}_{static | dynamic}_{shape}.py

  • {task}: task in mmocr.

    MMDeploy supports models of two tasks of mmocr, one is text detection and the other is text-recogntion.

    DO remember to use the corresponding deployment config file when trying to convert models of different tasks.

  • {backend}: inference backend, such as onnxruntime, tensorrt, pplnn, ncnn, openvino, coreml etc.

  • {precision}: fp16, int8. When it's empty, it means fp32

  • {static | dynamic}: static shape or dynamic shape

  • {shape}: input shape or shape range of a model

In the next two chapters, we will task dbnet model from text detection task and crnn model from text recognition task respectively as examples, showing how to convert them to onnx model that can be inferred by ONNX Runtime.

Convert text detection model

cd mmdeploy
# download dbnet model from mmocr model zoo
mim download mmocr --config dbnet_resnet18_fpnc_1200e_icdar2015 --dest .
# convert mmocr model to onnxruntime model with dynamic shape
python tools/deploy.py \
    configs/mmocr/text-detection/text-detection_onnxruntime_dynamic.py \
    dbnet_resnet18_fpnc_1200e_icdar2015.py \
    dbnet_resnet18_fpnc_1200e_icdar2015_20220825_221614-7c0e94f2.pth \
    demo/resources/text_det.jpg \
    --work-dir mmdeploy_models/mmocr/dbnet/ort \
    --device cpu \
    --show \
    --dump-info

Convert text recognition model

cd mmdeploy
# download crnn model from mmocr model zoo
mim download mmocr --config crnn_mini-vgg_5e_mj --dest .
# convert mmocr model to onnxruntime model with dynamic shape
python tools/deploy.py \
    configs/mmocr/text-recognition/text-recognition_onnxruntime_dynamic.py \
    crnn_mini-vgg_5e_mj.py \
    crnn_mini-vgg_5e_mj_20220826_224120-8afbedbb.pth \
    demo/resources/text_recog.jpg \
    --work-dir mmdeploy_models/mmocr/crnn/ort \
    --device cpu \
    --show \
    --dump-info

You can also convert the above models to other backend models by changing the deployment config file *_onnxruntime_dynamic.py to others, e.g., converting dbnet to tensorrt-fp32 model by text-detection/text-detection_tensorrt-_dynamic-320x320-2240x2240.py.

When converting mmocr models to tensorrt models, --device should be set to "cuda"

Model specification

Before moving on to model inference chapter, let's know more about the converted model structure which is very important for model inference.

The converted model locates in the working directory like mmdeploy_models/mmocr/dbnet/ort in the previous example. It includes:

mmdeploy_models/mmocr/dbnet/ort
├── deploy.json
├── detail.json
├── end2end.onnx
└── pipeline.json

in which,

  • end2end.onnx: backend model which can be inferred by ONNX Runtime
  • deploy.json: meta information about backend model
  • pipeline.json: inference pipeline of mmdeploy SDK
  • detail.json: conversion parameters

The whole package mmdeploy_models/mmocr/dbnet/ort is defined as mmdeploy SDK model, i.e., mmdeploy SDK model includes both backend model and inference meta information.

Model Inference

Backend model inference

MMDeploy provides a unified API named as inference_model to inference model, making all inference backends API transparent to users.

Take the previous converted end2end.onnx mode of dbnet as an example, you can use the following code to inference the model and visualize the results.

from mmdeploy.apis.utils import build_task_processor
from mmdeploy.utils import get_input_shape, load_config
import torch

deploy_cfg = 'configs/mmocr/text-detection/text-detection_onnxruntime_dynamic.py'
model_cfg = 'dbnet_resnet18_fpnc_1200e_icdar2015.py'
device = 'cpu'
backend_model = ['./mmdeploy_models/mmocr/dbnet/ort/end2end.onnx']
image = './demo/resources/text_det.jpg'

# read deploy_cfg and model_cfg
deploy_cfg, model_cfg = load_config(deploy_cfg, model_cfg)

# build task and backend model
task_processor = build_task_processor(model_cfg, deploy_cfg, device)
model = task_processor.build_backend_model(backend_model)

# process input image
input_shape = get_input_shape(deploy_cfg)
model_inputs, _ = task_processor.create_input(image, input_shape)

# do model inference
with torch.no_grad():
    result = model.test_step(model_inputs)

# visualize results
task_processor.visualize(
    image=image,
    model=model,
    result=result[0],
    window_name='visualize',
    output_file='output_ocr.png')

Tip:

Map 'deploy_cfg', 'model_cfg', 'backend_model' and 'image' to corresponding arguments in chapter convert text recognition model, you will get the ONNX Runtime inference results of crnn onnx model.

SDK model inference

Given the above SDK models of dbnet and crnn, you can also perform SDK model inference like following,

Text detection SDK model inference

import cv2
from mmdeploy_python import TextDetector

img = cv2.imread('demo/resources/text_det.jpg')
# create text detector
detector = TextDetector(
    model_path='mmdeploy_models/mmocr/dbnet/ort',
    device_name='cpu',
    device_id=0)
# do model inference
bboxes = detector(img)
# draw detected bbox into the input image
if len(bboxes) > 0:
    pts = ((bboxes[:, 0:8] + 0.5).reshape(len(bboxes), -1,
                                          2).astype(int))
    cv2.polylines(img, pts, True, (0, 255, 0), 2)
    cv2.imwrite('output_ocr.png', img)

Text Recognition SDK model inference

import cv2
from mmdeploy_python import TextRecognizer

img = cv2.imread('demo/resources/text_recog.jpg')
# create text recognizer
recognizer = TextRecognizer(
  model_path='mmdeploy_models/mmocr/crnn/ort',
  device_name='cpu',
  device_id=0
)
# do model inference
texts = recognizer(img)
# print the result
print(texts)
