* Merged commit includes the following changes:
311933687  by Sergio Guadarrama:

    Removes spurios use of tf.compat.v2, which results in spurious tf.compat.v1.compat.v2. Adds basic test to nasnet_utils.
    Replaces all remaining import tensorflow as tf with import tensorflow.compat.v1 as tf

--
311766063  by Sergio Guadarrama:

    Removes explicit tf.compat.v1 in all call sites (we already import tf.compat.v1, so this code was  doing tf.compat.v1.compat.v1). The existing code worked in latest version of tensorflow, 2.2, (and 1.15) but not in 1.14 or in 2.0.0a, this CL fixes it.

--

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.

PiperOrigin-RevId: 215654160

* More documentation updates

PiperOrigin-RevId: 215656580

* 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: 215837524

* Don't prune keypoints if clip_boxes is false.

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

* Write final config to disk in `train` mode only.

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.

--
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:

PiperOrigin-RevId: 212389173

* 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.

207771702  by Zhichao Lu:

    Refactoring evaluation utilities so that it is easier to introduce new DetectionEvaluators with eval_metric_ops.

--
207758641  by Zhichao Lu:

    Require tensorflow version 1.9+ for running object detection API.

--
207641470  by Zhichao Lu:

    Clip `num_groundtruth_boxes` in pad_input_data_to_static_shapes() to `max_num_boxes`. This prevents a scenario where tensors are sliced to an invalid range in model_lib.unstack_batch().

--
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.

--
207610524  by Zhichao Lu:

    Update anchor generators and box predictors for python3 compatibility.

    Internal change.

--
206862541  by Zhichao Lu:

    Do not unpad the outputs from batch_non_max_suppression before sampling.

    Since BalancedPositiveNegativeSampler takes an indicator for valid positions to sample from we can pass the output from NMS directly into Sampler.

* Remove unused doc.

* Merged commit includes the following changes:
206852642  by Zhichao Lu:

    Fixes a misplaced argument in resnet fpn feature extractor.

--
206682736  by Zhichao Lu:

    This CL modifies the SSD meta architecture to support both Slim-based and Keras-based box predictors, and begins preparation for Keras box predictor support in the other meta architectures.

    Concretely, this CL adds a new `KerasBoxPredictor` base class and makes the meta architectures appropriately call whichever box predictors they are using.

    We can switch the non-ssd meta architectures to fully support Keras box predictors once the Keras Convolutional Box Predictor CL is submitted.

--
206669634  by Zhichao Lu:

    Adds an alternate method for balanced positive negative sampler using static shapes.

--
206643278  by Zhichao Lu:

    This CL adds a Keras layer hyperparameter configuration object to the hyperparams_builder.

    It automatically converts from Slim layer hyperparameter configs to Keras layer hyperparameters. Namely, it:
    - Builds Keras initializers/regularizers instead of Slim ones
    - sets weights_regularizer/initializer to kernel_regularizer/initializer
    - converts batchnorm decay to momentum
    - converts Slim l2 regularizer weights to the equivalent Keras l2 weights

    This will be used in the conversion of object detection feature extractors & box predictors to newer Tensorflow APIs.

    - As a +ve side effect of the refactoring, we can now re-use a single target assigner for all of second stage heads in Faster R-CNN.

--

PiperOrigin-RevId: 191787921

191649512  by Zhichao Lu:

    Introduce two parameters in ssd.proto - freeze_batchnorm, inplace_batchnorm_update - and set up slim arg_scopes in ssd_meta_arch.py such that applies it to all batchnorm ops in the predict() method.
