249878079  by Zhichao Lu:

    This CL slightly refactors some Object Detection helper functions for data creation, evaluation, and groundtruth providing.

    This will allow the eager+function custom loops to share code with the existing estimator training loops.

    Concretely we make the following changes:
    1. In input creation we separate dataset-creation into top-level helpers, and allow it to optionally accept a pre-constructed model directly instead of always creating a model from the config just for feature preprocessing.

    2. In coco evaluation we split the update_op creation into its own function, which the custom loops will call directly.

    3. In model_lib we move groundtruth providing/ datastructure munging into a helper function

    4. For now we put an escape hatch in `_summarize_target_assignment` when executing in tf v2.0 behavior because the summary apis used only work w/ tf 1.x

--
249368223  by rathodv:

    Modify MatMulCropAndResize to use MultiLevelRoIAlign method and move the tests to spatial_transform_ops.py module.

    This cl establishes that CropAndResize and RoIAlign are equivalent and only differ in the sampling point grid within the boxes. CropAndResize uses a uniform size x size point grid such that the corner points exactly overlap box corners, while RoiAlign divides boxes into size x size cells and uses their centers as sampling points. In this cl, we switch MatMulCropAndResize to use the MultiLevelRoIAlign implementation with `align_corner` option as MultiLevelRoIAlign implementation is more memory efficient on TPU when compared to the original MatMulCropAndResize.

248554358  by Zhichao Lu:

    This change contains the auxiliary changes required for TF 2.0 style training with eager+functions+dist strat loops, but not the loops themselves.

    It includes:
    - Updates to shape usage to support both tensorshape v1 and tensorshape v2
    - A fix to FreezableBatchNorm to not override the `training` arg in call when `None` was passed to the constructor (Not an issue in the estimator loops but it was in the custom loops)
    - Puts some constants in init_scope so they work in eager + functions
    - Makes learning rate schedules return a callable in eager mode (required so they update when the global_step changes)
    - Makes DetectionModel a tf.module so it tracks variables (e.g. ones nested in layers)
    - Removes some references to `op.name` for some losses and replaces it w/ explicit names
    - A small part of the change to allow the coco evaluation metrics to work in eager mode

232926599  by Zhichao Lu:

    [tf.data] Switching tf.data functions to use `defun`, providing an escape hatch to continue using the legacy `Defun`.

    There are subtle differences between the implementation of `defun` and `Defun` (such as resources handling or control flow) and it is possible that input pipelines that use control flow or resources in their functions might be affected by this change. To migrate majority of existing pipelines to the recommended way of creating functions in TF 2.0 world, while allowing (a small number of) existing pipelines to continue relying on the deprecated behavior, this CL provides an escape hatch.

    If your input pipeline is affected by this CL, it should apply the escape hatch by replacing `foo.map(...)` with `foo.map_with_legacy_function(...)`.

--
232891621  by Zhichao Lu:

    Modify faster_rcnn meta architecture to normalize raw detections.

--
232875817  by Zhichao Lu:

    Make calibration a post-processing step.

    Specifically:
    - Move the calibration config from pipeline.proto --> post_processing.proto
    - Edit post_processing_builder.py to return a calibration function. If no calibration config is provided, it None.
    - Edit SSD and FasterRCNN meta architectures to optionally call the calibration function on detection scores after score conversion and before NMS.

--
232704481  by Zhichao Lu:

    Edit calibration builder to build a function that will be used within a detection model's `postprocess` method, after score conversion and before non-maxima suppression.

    Specific Edits:
    - The returned function now accepts class_predictions_with_background as its argument instead of detection_scores and detection_classes.
    - Class-specific calibration was temporarily removed, as it requires more significant refactoring. Will be added later.

--
232399572  by Zhichao Lu:

    Edit calibration builder and proto to support class-agnostic calibration.

    Specifically:
    - Edit calibration protos to include path to relevant label map if required for class-specific calibration. Previously, label maps were inferred from other parts of the pipeline proto; this allows all information required by the builder stay within the calibration proto and remove extraneous information from being passed with class-agnostic calibration.
    - Add class-agnostic protos to the calibration config.

    Note that the proto supports sigmoid and linear interpolation parameters, but the builder currently only supports linear interpolation.

--
231613048  by Zhichao Lu:

    Add calibration builder for applying calibration transformations from output of object detection models.

    Specifically:
    - Add calibration proto to support sigmoid and isotonic regression (stepwise function) calibration.
    - Add a builder to support calibration from isotonic regression outputs.

--
231519786  by lzc:

    - consolidated all separate ssd model creation tests into one.
    - consolidated all separate faster rcnn model creation tests into one.
    - used parameterized test for testing mask rcnn models and use_matmul_crop_and_resize
    - added all failures test.

* Updating config util to allow overwriting of cosine decay learning rates.

PiperOrigin-RevId: 188338852

* Make box_list_ops.py and box_list_ops_test.py work with C API enabled.

The C API has improved shape inference over the original Python

Another effect of the improved shape inference is that one of the
failures tested gets caught earlier, so I modified the test to reflect
this.
