    Bug fix for generic keys in config overrides

    In generic configuration overrides, we had a duplicate entry for train_input_config and we were missing the eval_input_config and eval_config.

    This change also introduces testing for all config overrides.

--
211157501  by Zhichao Lu:

    Make the locally-modified conv defs a copy.

    So that it doesn't modify MobileNet conv defs globally for other code that
    transitively imports this package.

--
211112813  by Zhichao Lu:

    Refactoring visualization tools for Estimator's eval_metric_ops. This will make it easier for future models to take advantage of a single interface and mechanics.

    A test decorator.

--
210747685  by Zhichao Lu:

    For FPN, when use_depthwise is set to true, use slightly modified mobilenet v1 config.

--
210723882  by Zhichao Lu:

    Integrating the losses mask into the meta architectures. When providing groundtruth, one can optionally specify annotation information (i.e. which images are labeled vs. unlabeled). For any image that is unlabeled, there is no loss accumulation.

--
210673675  by Zhichao Lu:

    Internal change.

--
210546590  by Zhichao Lu:

    Internal change.

--
210529752  by Zhichao Lu:

    Support batched inputs with ops.matmul_crop_and_resize.

    With this change the new inputs are images of shape [batch, heigh, width, depth] and boxes of shape [batch, num_boxes, 4]. The output tensor is of the shape [batch, num_boxes, crop_height, crop_width, depth].

--
210485912  by Zhichao Lu:

    Fix TensorFlow version check in object_detection_tutorial.ipynb

--
210484076  by Zhichao Lu:

    Reduce TPU memory required for single image matmul_crop_and_resize.

    Using tf.einsum eliminates intermediate tensors, tiling and expansion. for an image of size [40, 40, 1024] and boxes of shape [300, 4] HBM memory usage goes down from 3.52G to 1.67G.

--
210468361  by Zhichao Lu:

    Replace deprecated tf.train.Supervisor with tf.train.MonitoredSession. MonitoredSession also takes away the hassle of starting queue runners.

--
209888003  by Zhichao Lu:

    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.

--
209842134  by Zhichao Lu:

    Converting loss mask into multiplier, rather than using it as a boolean mask (which changes tensor shape). This is necessary, since other utilities (e.g. hard example miner) require a loss matrix with the same dimensions as the original prediction tensor.

--
209768066  by Zhichao Lu:

    Adding ability to remove loss computation from specific images in a batch, via an optional boolean mask.

--
209722556  by Zhichao Lu:

    Remove dead code.

    (_USE_C_API was flipped to True by default in TensorFlow 1.8)

--
209701861  by Zhichao Lu:

    This CL cleans-up some tf.Example creation snippets, by reusing the convenient tf.train.Feature building functions in dataset_util.

--
209697893  by Zhichao Lu:

    Check result_dict type before accessing image_id via key.

--
209442529  by Zhichao Lu:

    Introducing the capability to sample examples for evaluation. This makes it easy to specify one full epoch of evaluation, or a subset (e.g. sample 1 of every N examples).

--
208941150  by Zhichao Lu:

    Adding the capability of exporting the results in json format.

--
208888798  by Zhichao Lu:

    Fixes wrong dictionary key for num_det_boxes_per_image.

--
208873549  by Zhichao Lu:

    Reduce the number of HLO ops created by matmul_crop_and_resize.

    Do not unroll along the channels dimension. Instead, transpose the input image dimensions, apply tf.matmul and transpose back.

    The number of HLO instructions for 1024 channels reduce from 12368 to 110.

--
208844315  by Zhichao Lu:

    Add an option to use tf.non_maximal_supression_padded in SSD post-process

--

--
208557208  by Zhichao Lu:

    Add TPU tests for Faster R-CNN Meta arch.

    * Tests that two_stage_predict and total_loss tests run successfully on TPU.
    * Small mods to multiclass_non_max_suppression to preserve static shapes.

--
208499278  by Zhichao Lu:

    This CL makes sure the Keras convolutional box predictor & head layers apply activation layers *after* normalization (as opposed to before).

--
208391694  by Zhichao Lu:

    Updating visualization tool to produce multiple evaluation images.

--
208275961  by Zhichao Lu:

    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.

--
208263792  by Zhichao Lu:

    Add a new SSD mask meta arch that can predict masks for SSD models.
    Changes including:
     - overwrite loss function to add mask loss computation.

    Add static boolean_mask op to box_list_ops.py and use that in faster_rcnn_meta_arch.py to support use_static_shapes option.

--
207993460  by Zhichao Lu:

    Include FGVC detection models in model zoo.

--
207971213  by Zhichao Lu:

--
207960608  by Zhichao Lu:

    Internal Change.

--
207927015  by Zhichao Lu:

    Have an option to use the TPU compatible NMS op cl/206673787, in the batch_multiclass_non_max_suppression function. On setting pad_to_max_output_size to true, the output nmsed boxes are padded to be of length max_size_per_class.

    This can be used in first stage Region Proposal Network in FasterRCNN model by setting the first_stage_nms_pad_to_max_proposals field to true in config proto.

--
207809668  by Zhichao Lu:

    Add option to use depthwise separable conv instead of conv2d in FPN and WeightSharedBoxPredictor. More specifically, there are two related configs:

* 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

* Modify create_coco_tf_record tool to write out class text instead of class labels.

PiperOrigin-RevId: 212679112

* Fix detection model zoo typo.

PiperOrigin-RevId: 212715692

* Adding the following two optional flags to WeightSharedConvolutionalBoxHead:
1) In the box head, apply clipping to box encodings in the box head.
2) In the class head, apply sigmoid to class predictions at inference time.

PiperOrigin-RevId: 212723242

* Support class confidences in merge boxes with multiple labels.

PiperOrigin-RevId: 212884998

* Creates multiple eval specs for object detection.

PiperOrigin-RevId: 212894556

* Set batch_norm on last layer in Mask Head to None.

PiperOrigin-RevId: 213030087

* Enable bfloat16 training for object detection models.

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.
