# Customize Models

We basically categorize model components into 6 types:

- encoder: Including voxel encoder and middle encoder used in voxel-based methods before backbone, e.g., `HardVFE` and `PointPillarsScatter`.
- backbone: Usually an FCN network to extract feature maps, e.g., `ResNet`, `SECOND`.
- neck: The component between backbones and heads, e.g., `FPN`, `SECONDFPN`.
- head: The component for specific tasks, e.g., `bbox prediction` and `mask prediction`.
- RoI extractor: The part for extracting RoI features from feature maps, e.g., `H3DRoIHead` and `PartAggregationROIHead`.
- loss: The component in heads for calculating losses, e.g., `FocalLoss`, `L1Loss`, and `GHMLoss`.

## Develop new components

### Add a new encoder

Here we show how to develop new components with an example of HardVFE.

#### 1. Define a new voxel encoder (e.g. HardVFE: Voxel feature encoder used in HV-SECOND)

Create a new file `mmdet3d/models/voxel_encoders/voxel_encoder.py`.

```python
import torch.nn as nn

from mmdet3d.registry import MODELS


@MODELS.register_module()
class HardVFE(nn.Module):

    def __init__(self, arg1, arg2):
        pass

    def forward(self, x):  # should return a tuple
        pass
```

#### 2. Import the module

You can either add the following line to `mmdet3d/models/voxel_encoders/__init__.py`:

```python
from .voxel_encoder import HardVFE
```

or alternatively add

```python
custom_imports = dict(
    imports=['mmdet3d.models.voxel_encoders.voxel_encoder'],
    allow_failed_imports=False)
```

to the config file to avoid modifying the original code.

#### 3. Use the voxel encoder in your config file

```python
model = dict(
    ...
    voxel_encoder=dict(
        type='HardVFE',
        arg1=xxx,
        arg2=yyy),
    ...
)
```

### Add a new backbone

Here we show how to develop new components with an example of [SECOND](https://www.mdpi.com/1424-8220/18/10/3337) (Sparsely Embedded Convolutional Detection).

#### 1. Define a new backbone (e.g. SECOND)

Create a new file `mmdet3d/models/backbones/second.py`.

```python
from mmengine.model import BaseModule

from mmdet3d.registry import MODELS


@MODELS.register_module()
class SECOND(BaseModule):

    def __init__(self, arg1, arg2):
        pass

    def forward(self, x):  # should return a tuple
        pass
```

#### 2. Import the module

You can either add the following line to `mmdet3d/models/backbones/__init__.py`:

```python
from .second import SECOND
```

or alternatively add

```python
custom_imports = dict(
    imports=['mmdet3d.models.backbones.second'],
    allow_failed_imports=False)
```

to the config file to avoid modifying the original code.

#### 3. Use the backbone in your config file

```python
model = dict(
    ...
    backbone=dict(
        type='SECOND',
        arg1=xxx,
        arg2=yyy),
    ...
)
```

### Add a new neck

#### 1. Define a new neck (e.g. SECONDFPN)

Create a new file `mmdet3d/models/necks/second_fpn.py`.

```python
from mmengine.model import BaseModule

from mmdet3d.registry import MODELS


@MODELS.register_module()
class SECONDFPN(BaseModule):

    def __init__(self,
                 in_channels=[128, 128, 256],
                 out_channels=[256, 256, 256],
                 upsample_strides=[1, 2, 4],
                 norm_cfg=dict(type='BN', eps=1e-3, momentum=0.01),
                 upsample_cfg=dict(type='deconv', bias=False),
                 conv_cfg=dict(type='Conv2d', bias=False),
                 use_conv_for_no_stride=False,
                 init_cfg=None):
        pass

    def forward(self, x):
        # implementation is ignored
        pass
```

#### 2. Import the module

You can either add the following line to `mmdet3d/models/necks/__init__.py`:

```python
from .second_fpn import SECONDFPN
```

or alternatively add

```python
custom_imports = dict(
    imports=['mmdet3d.models.necks.second_fpn'],
    allow_failed_imports=False)
```

to the config file to avoid modifying the original code.

#### 3. Use the neck in your config file

```python
model = dict(
    ...
    neck=dict(
        type='SECONDFPN',
        in_channels=[64, 128, 256],
        upsample_strides=[1, 2, 4],
        out_channels=[128, 128, 128]),
    ...
)
```

### Add a new head

Here we show how to develop a new head with the example of [PartA2 Head](https://arxiv.org/abs/1907.03670) as the following.

**Note**: Here the example of `PartA2 RoI Head` is used in the second stage. For one-stage heads, please refer to examples in `mmdet3d/models/dense_heads/`. They are more commonly used in 3D detection for autonomous driving due to its simplicity and high efficiency.

First, add a new bbox head in `mmdet3d/models/roi_heads/bbox_heads/parta2_bbox_head.py`.
`PartA2 RoI Head` implements a new bbox head for object detection.
To implement a bbox head, basically we need to implement two functions of the new module as the following. Sometimes other related functions like `loss` and `get_targets` are also required.

```python
from mmengine.model import BaseModule

from mmdet3d.registry import MODELS


@MODELS.register_module()
class PartA2BboxHead(BaseModule):
    """PartA2 RoI head."""

    def __init__(self,
                 num_classes,
                 seg_in_channels,
                 part_in_channels,
                 seg_conv_channels=None,
                 part_conv_channels=None,
                 merge_conv_channels=None,
                 down_conv_channels=None,
                 shared_fc_channels=None,
                 cls_channels=None,
                 reg_channels=None,
                 dropout_ratio=0.1,
                 roi_feat_size=14,
                 with_corner_loss=True,
                 bbox_coder=dict(type='DeltaXYZWLHRBBoxCoder'),
                 conv_cfg=dict(type='Conv1d'),
                 norm_cfg=dict(type='BN1d', eps=1e-3, momentum=0.01),
                 loss_bbox=dict(
                     type='SmoothL1Loss', beta=1.0 / 9.0, loss_weight=2.0),
                 loss_cls=dict(
                     type='CrossEntropyLoss',
                     use_sigmoid=True,
                     reduction='none',
                     loss_weight=1.0),
                 init_cfg=None):
        super(PartA2BboxHead, self).__init__(init_cfg=init_cfg)

    def forward(self, seg_feats, part_feats):
        pass
```

Second, implement a new RoI Head if it is necessary. We plan to inherit the new `PartAggregationROIHead` from `Base3DRoIHead`. We can find that a `Base3DRoIHead` already implements the following functions.

```python
from mmdet.models.roi_heads import BaseRoIHead

from mmdet3d.registry import MODELS, TASK_UTILS


class Base3DRoIHead(BaseRoIHead):
    """Base class for 3d RoIHeads."""

    def __init__(self,
                 bbox_head=None,
                 bbox_roi_extractor=None,
                 mask_head=None,
                 mask_roi_extractor=None,
                 train_cfg=None,
                 test_cfg=None,
                 init_cfg=None):
        super(Base3DRoIHead, self).__init__(
            bbox_head=bbox_head,
            bbox_roi_extractor=bbox_roi_extractor,
            mask_head=mask_head,
            mask_roi_extractor=mask_roi_extractor,
            train_cfg=train_cfg,
            test_cfg=test_cfg,
            init_cfg=init_cfg)

    def init_bbox_head(self, bbox_roi_extractor: dict,
                       bbox_head: dict) -> None:
        """Initialize box head and box roi extractor.

        Args:
            bbox_roi_extractor (dict or ConfigDict): Config of box
                roi extractor.
            bbox_head (dict or ConfigDict): Config of box in box head.
        """
        self.bbox_roi_extractor = MODELS.build(bbox_roi_extractor)
        self.bbox_head = MODELS.build(bbox_head)

    def init_assigner_sampler(self):
        """Initialize assigner and sampler."""
        self.bbox_assigner = None
        self.bbox_sampler = None
        if self.train_cfg:
            if isinstance(self.train_cfg.assigner, dict):
                self.bbox_assigner = TASK_UTILS.build(self.train_cfg.assigner)
            elif isinstance(self.train_cfg.assigner, list):
                self.bbox_assigner = [
                    TASK_UTILS.build(res) for res in self.train_cfg.assigner
                ]
            self.bbox_sampler = TASK_UTILS.build(self.train_cfg.sampler)

    def init_mask_head(self):
        """Initialize mask head, skip since ``PartAggregationROIHead`` does not
        have one."""
        pass
```

Double Head's modification is mainly in the bbox_forward logic, and it inherits other logics from the `Base3DRoIHead`.
In the `mmdet3d/models/roi_heads/part_aggregation_roi_head.py`, we implement the new RoI Head as the following:

```python

Here we omit more details related to other functions. Please see the [code](https://github.com/open-mmlab/mmdetection3d/blob/dev-1.x/mmdet3d/models/roi_heads/part_aggregation_roi_head.py) for more details.

Last, the users need to add the module in
`mmdet3d/models/roi_heads/bbox_heads/__init__.py` and `mmdet3d/models/roi_heads/__init__.py` thus the corresponding registry could find and load them.

Alternatively, the users can add

```python
custom_imports=dict(
    imports=['mmdet3d.models.roi_heads.part_aggregation_roi_head', 'mmdet3d.models.roi_heads.bbox_heads.parta2_bbox_head'],
    allow_failed_imports=False)
```

to the config file and achieve the same goal.

The config file of `PartAggregationROIHead` is as the following:

```python

    ...

        type='PartAggregationROIHead',

Since MMDetection 2.0, the config system supports to inherit configs such that the users can focus on the modification.
The second stage of PartA2 Head mainly uses a new `PartAggregationROIHead` and a new
`PartA2BboxHead`, the arguments are set according to the `__init__` function of each module.

### Add a new loss

Assume you want to add a new loss as `MyLoss` for bounding box regression.
To add a new loss function, the users need to implement it in `mmdet3d/models/losses/my_loss.py`.
The decorator `weighted_loss` enables the loss to be weighted for each element.

```python
import torch
import torch.nn as nn
from mmdet.models.losses.utils import weighted_loss

from mmdet3d.registry import MODELS


@weighted_loss
def my_loss(pred, target):
    assert pred.size() == target.size() and target.numel() > 0
    loss = torch.abs(pred - target)
    return loss


@MODELS.register_module()
class MyLoss(nn.Module):

    def __init__(self, reduction='mean', loss_weight=1.0):
        super(MyLoss, self).__init__()
        self.reduction = reduction
        self.loss_weight = loss_weight

    def forward(self,
                pred,
                target,
                weight=None,
                avg_factor=None,
                reduction_override=None):
        assert reduction_override in (None, 'none', 'mean', 'sum')
        reduction = (
            reduction_override if reduction_override else self.reduction)
        loss_bbox = self.loss_weight * my_loss(
            pred, target, weight, reduction=reduction, avg_factor=avg_factor)
        return loss_bbox
```

Then the users need to add it in the `mmdet3d/models/losses/__init__.py`.

```python
from .my_loss import MyLoss, my_loss
```

Alternatively, you can add

```python
custom_imports=dict(
    imports=['mmdet3d.models.losses.my_loss'],
    allow_failed_imports=False)
```

to the config file and achieve the same goal.

To use it, users should modify the `loss_xxx` field.
Since `MyLoss` is for regression, you need to modify the `loss_bbox` field in the head.

```python
loss_bbox=dict(type='MyLoss', loss_weight=1.0)
```
