Context R-CNN Updates: Added capabilities to use multi-headed or multi-layered attention, to place the attention heads pre- or post-second stage feature extraction, and to work with embedded features in the context feature back from pre- or post-second stage feature extraction. Added an option for RPN feature map crops to be piped through to model outputs.

* Updating python API to use CombinedNonMaxSuppresion TF operator

1. Adds a unit test to test post_processing python API
2. Currently sets clip_window to None as the kernel uses the default
   clip_window of [0,0,1,1]
3. Added use_static_shapes to the API. In old API if
   use_static_shapes is true, then it pads/clips outputs to max_total_size, if
specified. If not specified, it pads to num_classes*max_size_per_class.
 If use_static_shapes is false, it always pads/clips to max_total_size.

Update unit test to account for clipped bouding boxes

Changed the name to CombinedNonMaxSuppression based on feedback from Google

Added additional parameters to combinedNMS python function. They are currently
unused and required for networks like FasterRCNN and MaskRCNN

253911582  by jonathanhuang:

    Plumbs Soft-NMS options (using the new tf.image.non_max_suppression_with_scores op) into the TF Object Detection API.  It adds a `soft_nms_sigma` field to the postprocessing proto file and plumbs this through to both the multiclass and class_agnostic versions of NMS. Note that there is no effect on behavior of NMS when soft_nms_sigma=0 (which it is set to by default).

220193337  by Zhichao Lu:

    This CL fixes a bug where the Keras convolutional box predictor was applying heads in the non-deterministic dict order. The consequence of this bug was that variables were created in non-deterministic orders. This in turn led different workers in a multi-gpu training setup to have slightly different graphs which had variables assigned to mismatched parameter servers. As a result, roughly half of all workers were unable to initialize and did no work, and training time was slowed down approximately 2x.

    Migrate TensorFlow Lite out of tensorflow/contrib

    This change moves //tensorflow/contrib/lite to //tensorflow/lite in preparation
    for TensorFlow 2.0's deprecation of contrib/. If you refer to TF Lite build
    targets or headers, you will need to update them manually. If you use TF Lite
    from the TensorFlow python package, "tf.contrib.lite" now points to "tf.lite".
    Please update your imports as soon as possible.

    For more details, see https://groups.google.com/a/tensorflow.org/forum/#!topic/tflite/iIIXOTOFvwQ

    @angersson and @aselle are conducting this migration. Please contact them if
    you have any further questions.

PiperOrigin-RevId: 223075771

* Internal change.

PiperOrigin-RevId: 213914693

* Add original_image_spatial_shape tensor in input dictionary to store shape of the original input image

PiperOrigin-RevId: 214018767

* Remove "groundtruth_confidences" from decoders use "groundtruth_weights" to indicate label confidence.

This also solves a bug that only surfaced now - random crop routines in core/preprocessor.py did not correctly handle "groundtruth_weight" tensors returned by the decoders.

PiperOrigin-RevId: 214091843

* Update CocoMaskEvaluator to allow for a batch of image info, rather than a single image.

PiperOrigin-RevId: 214295305

* Adding the option to be able to summarize gradients.

PiperOrigin-RevId: 214310875

* Adds FasterRCNN inference on CPU

1. Adds a flag use_static_shapes_for_eval to restrict to the ops that guarantees static shape.
2. No filtering of overlapping anchors while clipping the anchors when use_static_shapes_for_eval is set to True.
3. Adds test for faster_rcnn_meta_arch for predict and postprocess in inference mode for first and second stages.

PiperOrigin-RevId: 214329565

* Fix model_lib eval_spec_names assignment (integer->string).

PiperOrigin-RevId: 214335461

* Refactor Mask HEAD to optionally upsample after applying convolutions on ROI crops.

PiperOrigin-RevId: 214338440

* Uses final_exporter_name as exporter_name for the first eval spec for backward compatibility.

PiperOrigin-RevId: 214522032

* Add reshaped `mask_predictions` tensor to the prediction dictionary in `_predict_third_stage` method to allow computing mask loss in eval job.

PiperOrigin-RevId: 214620716

* Add support for fully conv training to fpn.

PiperOrigin-RevId: 214626274

* Fix the proprocess() function in Resnet v1 to make it work for any number of input channels.

Note: If the #channels != 3, this will simply skip the mean subtraction in preprocess() function.
PiperOrigin-RevId: 214635428

* Wrap result_dict_for_single_example in eval_util to run for batched examples.

PiperOrigin-RevId: 214678514

* Adds PNASNet-based (ImageNet model) feature extractor for SSD.

PiperOrigin-RevId: 214988331

* Update documentation

PiperOrigin-RevId: 215243502

* Correct index used to compute number of groundtruth/detection boxes in COCOMaskEvaluator.

Due to an incorrect indexing in cl/214295305 only the first detection mask and first groundtruth mask for a given image are fed to the COCO Mask evaluation library. Since groundtruth masks are arranged in no particular order, the first and highest scoring detection mask (detection masks are ordered by score) won't match the the first and only groundtruth retained in all cases. This is I think why mask evaluation metrics do not get better than ~11 mAP. Note that this code path is only active when using model_main.py binary for evaluation.

This change fixes the indices and modifies an existing test case to cover it.

PiperOrigin-RevId: 215275936

* Fixing grayscale_image_resizer to accept mask as input.

PiperOrigin-RevId: 215345836

* Add an option not to clip groundtruth boxes during preprocessing. Clipping boxes adversely affects training for partially occluded or large objects, especially for fully conv models. Clipping already occurs during postprocessing, and should not occur during training.

PiperOrigin-RevId: 215613379

* Always return recalls and precisions with length equal to the number of classes.

The previous behavior of ObjectDetectionEvaluation was somewhat dangerous: when no groundtruth boxes were present, the lists of per-class precisions and recalls were simply truncated. Unless you were aware of this phenomenon (and consulted the `num_gt_instances_per_class` vector) it was difficult to associate each metric with each class.

PiperOrigin-RevId: 215633711

* Expose the box feature node in SSD.

PiperOrigin-RevId: 215653316

* Fix ssd mobilenet v2 _CONV_DEFS overwriting issue.

* Add pooling + residual option in multi_resolution_feature_maps. It adds an average pooling and a residual layer between feature maps with matching depth. Designed to be used with WeightSharedBoxPredictor.

PiperOrigin-RevId: 215665619

* Only call create_modificed_mobilenet_config on init if use_depthwise is true.

PiperOrigin-RevId: 215784290

* Only call create_modificed_mobilenet_config on init if use_depthwise is true.

PiperOrigin-RevId: 216187642

* Makes sure "key" field exists in the result dictionary.

PiperOrigin-RevId: 216456543

* Add add_background_class parameter to allow disabling the inclusion of a background class.

PiperOrigin-RevId: 216567612

* Update expected_classification_loss_under_sampling to better account for expected sampling.

PiperOrigin-RevId: 216712287

* Let the evaluation receive a evaluation class in its constructor.

PiperOrigin-RevId: 216769374

* This CL adds model building & training support for end-to-end Keras-based SSD models. If a Keras feature extractor's name is specified in the model config (e.g. 'ssd_mobilenet_v2_keras'), the model will use that feature extractor and a corresponding Keras-based box predictor.

This CL makes sure regularization losses & batch norm updates work correctly when training models that have Keras-based components. It also updates the default hyperparameter settings of the keras-based mobilenetV2 (when not overriding hyperparams) to more closely match the legacy Slim training scope.

PiperOrigin-RevId: 216938707

* Adding the ability in the coco evaluator to indicate whether an image has been annotated. For a non-annotated image, detections and groundtruth are not supplied.

PiperOrigin-RevId: 217316342

* Release the 8k minival dataset ids for MSCOCO, used in Huang et al. "Speed/accuracy trade-offs for modern convolutional object detectors" (https://arxiv.org/abs/1611.10012)

PiperOrigin-RevId: 217549353

* Exposes weighted_sigmoid_focal loss for faster rcnn classifier

PiperOrigin-RevId: 217601740

* Add detection_features to output nodes. The shape of the feature is [batch_size, max_detections, depth].

PiperOrigin-RevId: 217629905

* FPN uses a custom NN resize op for TPU-compatibility. Replace this op with the Tensorflow version at export time for TFLite-compatibility.

PiperOrigin-RevId: 217721184

* Compute `num_groundtruth_boxes` in inputs.tranform_input_data_fn after data augmentation instead of decoders.

PiperOrigin-RevId: 217733432

* 1. Stop gradients from flowing into groundtruth masks with zero paddings.
2. Normalize pixelwise cross entropy loss across the whole batch.

PiperOrigin-RevId: 217735114

* Optimize Input pipeline for Mask R-CNN on TPU with blfoat16: improve the step time from:
1663.6 ms -> 1184.2 ms, about 28.8% improvement.

PiperOrigin-RevId: 217748833

* Fixes to export a TPU compatible model

Adds nodes to each of the output tensor. Also increments the value of class labels by 1.

PiperOrigin-RevId: 217856760

* API changes:
 - change the interface of target assigner to return per-class weights.
 - change the interface of classification loss to take per-class weights.

PiperOrigin-RevId: 217968393

* Add an option to override pipeline config in export_saved_model using command line arg

PiperOrigin-RevId: 218429292

* Include Quantized trained MobileNet V2 SSD and FaceSsd in model zoo.

PiperOrigin-RevId: 218530947

    Implement function to handle data where source_id is not set.

    If the field source_id is found to be the empty string for any image during runtime, it will be replaced with a random string. This avoids hash-collisions on dataset where many examples do not have source_id set. Those hash-collisions have unintended site effects and may lead to bugs in the detection pipeline.

    This CL adds a Keras version of the Convolutional Box Predictor, as well as more general infrastructure for making Keras Prediction heads & Keras box predictors.

--
208275585  by Zhichao Lu:

    This CL enables the Keras layer hyperparameter object to build a dedicated activation layer, and to disable activation by default in the op layer construction kwargs.

    This is necessary because in most cases the normalization layer must be applied before the activation layer. So, in Keras models we must set the convolution activation in a dedicated layer after normalization is applied, rather than setting it in the convolution layer construction args.

* Fix detection model zoo typo.

* Modify tf example decoder to handle label maps with either `display_name` or `name` fields seamlessly.

Currently, tf example decoder uses only `name` field to look up ids for class text field present in the data. This change uses both `display_name` and `name` fields in the label map to fetch ids for class text.

PiperOrigin-RevId: 212672223

PiperOrigin-RevId: 213053547

* Skip padding op when unnecessary.

PiperOrigin-RevId: 213065869

* Modify `Matchers` to use groundtruth weights before performing matching.

Groundtruth weights tensor is used to indicate padding in groundtruth box tensor. It is handled in `TargetAssigner` by creating appropriate classification and regression target weights based on the groundtruth box each anchor matches to. However, options such as `force_match_all_rows` in `ArgmaxMatcher` force certain anchors to match to groundtruth boxes that are just paddings thereby reducing the number of anchors that could otherwise match to real groundtruth boxes.

For single stage models like SSD the effect of this is negligible as there are two orders of magnitude more anchors than the number of padded groundtruth boxes. But for Faster R-CNN and Mask R-CNN where there are only 300 anchors in the second stage, a significant number of these match to groundtruth paddings reducing the number of anchors regressing to real groundtruth boxes degrading the performance severely.

Therefore, this change introduces an additional boolean argument `valid_rows` to `Matcher.match` methods and the implementations now ignore such padded groudtruth boxes during matching.

207641470  by Zhichao Lu:

207621728  by Zhichao Lu:

    This CL adds a FreezableBatchNorm that inherits from the Keras BatchNormalization layer, but supports freezing the `training` parameter at construction time instead of having to do it in the `call` method.

    It also adds a method to the `KerasLayerHyperparams` class that will build an appropriate FreezableBatchNorm layer according to the hyperparameter configuration. If batch_norm is disabled, this method returns and Identity layer.

    These will be used to simplify the conversion to Keras APIs.
