Add option to override base feature extractor hyperparams in SSD models. This would allow us to use the same set of hyperparams for the complete feature extractor (base + new layers) if desired.

    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.

    This centralizes the control of freezing and doing inplace batchnorm updates.

    Modifications to the preprocessor to support multiclass scores

    Contains implementation of the detection metric for the Open Images Challenge.

191449408  by Zhichao Lu:

    Change hyperparams_builder to return a callable so the users can inherit values from outer arg_scopes. This allows us to easily set batch_norm parameters like "is_training" and "inplace_batchnorm_update" for all feature extractors from the base class and propagate it correctly to the nested scopes.

    Fix documentation re: number of stages.

186365384  by Zhichao Lu:

    Made some of the functions in exporter public so they can be reused.

    Re-introducing check that label-map-path must be a valid (non-empty) string prior to overwriting pipeline config.

    Adding default hyperparameters and allowing for overriding them via flags.

186026006  by Zhichao Lu:

    Strip `eval_` prefix from name argument give to TPUEstimator.evaluate since it adds the same prefix internally.

    Add an option to evaluate models on training data.

    Add random normal initializer option to hyperparams builder.

    Scale the regression losses outside of the box encoder by adjusting huber loss delta and regression loss weight.

    Add an option to normalize localization loss by the code size(number of box coordinates) in SSD Meta architecture.

--
185761217  by Zhichao Lu:

    Change multiscale_grid_anchor_generator to return anchors in normalized coordinates by default and add option to configure it.

    In SSD meta architecture, TargetAssigner operates in normalized coordinate space (i.e, groundtruth boxes are in normalized coordinates) hence we need the option to generate anchors in normalized coordinates.

185747733  by Zhichao Lu:

    Change the smooth L1 localization implementationt to use tf.losses.huber_loss and expose the delta parameter in the proto.

This works around a bug in earlier proto versions
that automatically infer these values to be integer
instead of float.
