mmdet配置文件到执行的过程

1.读取配置文件，根据配置文件创建模型实例

1.1读取配置文件

model = build_detector(
        cfg.model,
        train_cfg=cfg.get('train_cfg'),
        test_cfg=cfg.get('test_cfg'))

1.2根据配置文件的type去寻找注册好的模型

def build_detector(cfg, train_cfg=None, test_cfg=None):
    """Build detector."""
    if train_cfg is not None or test_cfg is not None:
        warnings.warn(
            'train_cfg and test_cfg is deprecated, '
            'please specify them in model', UserWarning)
    assert cfg.get('train_cfg') is None or train_cfg is None, \
        'train_cfg specified in both outer field and model field '
    assert cfg.get('test_cfg') is None or test_cfg is None, \
        'test_cfg specified in both outer field and model field '
    return DETECTORS.build(
        cfg, default_args=dict(train_cfg=train_cfg, test_cfg=test_cfg))

    def build(self, *args, **kwargs):
        return self.build_func(*args, **kwargs, registry=self)

通过配置文件找到模型后，根据配置文件实例化模型类

def build_from_cfg(cfg, registry, default_args=None):
    """Build a module from config dict.

    """
    if not isinstance(cfg, dict):
        raise TypeError(f'cfg must be a dict, but got {type(cfg)}')
    if 'type' not in cfg:
        if default_args is None or 'type' not in default_args:
            raise KeyError(
                '`cfg` or `default_args` must contain the key "type", '

    if not isinstance(registry, Registry):
        raise TypeError('registry must be an mmcv.Registry object, '
                        f'but got {type(registry)}')
    if not (isinstance(default_args, dict) or default_args is None):
        raise TypeError('default_args must be a dict or None, '
                        f'but got {type(default_args)}')

    args = cfg.copy()

    if default_args is not None:
        for name, value in default_args.items():
            args.setdefault(name, value)

    obj_type = args.pop('type')
    if isinstance(obj_type, str):
        obj_cls = registry.get(obj_type)
        if obj_cls is None:
            raise KeyError(
                f'{obj_type} is not in the {registry.name} registry')
    elif inspect.isclass(obj_type):
        obj_cls = obj_type
    else:
        raise TypeError(
            f'type must be a str or valid type, but got {type(obj_type)}')
    try:
        return obj_cls(**args)
    except Exception as e:
        # Normal TypeError does not print class name.
        raise type(e)(f'{obj_cls.__name__}: {e}')

2.模型实例注册（fasterrcnn为例）

2.1注册到detectors上

@DETECTORS.register_module()
class FasterRCNN(TwoStageDetector):
    """Implementation of `Faster R-CNN <https://arxiv.org/abs/1506.01497>`_"""

    def __init__(self,
                 backbone,

                 train_cfg,
                 test_cfg,
                 neck=None,
                 pretrained=None,

            train_cfg=train_cfg,
            test_cfg=test_cfg,
            pretrained=pretrained,
            init_cfg=init_cfg)

2.3父类是TwoStageDetector

我们主要看train_step ，因为下面再说

 def train_step(self, data, optimizer):
        """The iteration step during training.

        This method defines an iteration step during training, except for the
        back propagation and optimizer updating, which are done in an optimizer
        hook. Note that in some complicated cases or models, the whole process

        this method, such as GAN.

                  logger.
                - ``num_samples`` indicates the batch size (when the model is
                  DDP, it means the batch size on each GPU), which is used for
                  averaging the logs.

        loss, log_vars = self._parse_losses(losses)

        outputs = dict(
