NetVLAD-pytorch

Pytorch implementation of NetVLAD & Online Hardest Triplet Loss. In NetVLAD, broadcasting is used to calculate residuals of clusters and it makes whole calculation time much faster.

Usage

import torch
import torch.nn as nn
from torch.autograd import Variable

from netvlad import NetVLAD
from netvlad import EmbedNet
from hard_triplet_loss import HardTripletLoss
from torchvision.models import resnet18


# Discard layers at the end of base network
encoder = resnet18(pretrained=True)
base_model = nn.Sequential(
    encoder.conv1,
    encoder.bn1,
    encoder.relu,
    encoder.maxpool,
    encoder.layer1,
    encoder.layer2,
    encoder.layer3,
    encoder.layer4,
])
dim = list(base_model.parameters())[-1].shape[0]  # last channels (512)

# Define model for embedding
net_vlad = NetVLAD(num_clusters=32, dim=dim, alpha=1.0)
model = EmbedNet(base_model, net_vlad).cuda()

# Define loss
criterion = HardTripletLoss(margin=0.1).cuda()

# This is just toy example. Typically, the number of samples in each classes are 4.
labels = torch.randint(0, 10, (40, )).long()
x = torch.rand(40, 3, 128, 128).cuda()
output = model(x)

triplet_loss = criterion(output, labels)
