# Custom operators for ONNX Runtime in MMCV
## Introduction of ONNX Runtime
**ONNX Runtime** is a cross-platform inferencing and training accelerator compatible with many popular ML/DNN frameworks. Check its [github](https://github.com/microsoft/onnxruntime) for more information.
## Introduction of ONNX
**ONNX** stands for **Open Neural Network Exchange**, which acts as *Intermediate Representation(IR)* for ML/DNN models from many frameworks. Check its [github](https://github.com/onnx/onnx) for more information.
## Why include custom operators for ONNX Runtime in MMCV
- To verify the correctness of exported ONNX models in ONNX Runtime.
- To ease the deployment of ONNX models with custom operators from `mmcv.ops` in ONNX Runtime.
## List of operators for ONNX Runtime supported in MMCV
| Operator | CPU | GPU | Note |
| :------: | :---: | :---: | :---: |
| SoftNMS | Y | N | None |
## How to build custom operators for ONNX Runtime
*Please be noted that only **onnxruntime>=1.5.1** of CPU version on Linux platform is tested by now.*
### Prerequisite
- Clone repository
```bash
git clone https://github.com/open-mmlab/mmcv.git
```
- Download `onnxruntime-linux-x64-1.5.1.tgz` from ONNX Runtime [releases](https://github.com/microsoft/onnxruntime/releases/tag/v1.5.1), extract it, expose `ONNXRUNTIME_DIR` and finally add the lib path to `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` as below:
```bash
wget https://github.com/microsoft/onnxruntime/releases/download/v1.5.1/onnxruntime-linux-x64-1.5.1.tgz
tar -zxvf onnxruntime-linux-x64-1.5.1.tgz
cd onnxruntime-linux-x64-1.5.1
export ONNXRUNTIME_DIR=$(pwd)
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ONNXRUNTIME_DIR/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
```
### Build on Linux
```bash
cd mmcv # to MMCV root directory
MMCV_WITH_OPS=1 MMCV_WITH_ORT=1 pip install -e .
```
## How to do inference using exported ONNX models with custom operators in ONNX Runtime in python
Install ONNX Runtime with `pip`
```bash
pip install onnxruntime==1.5.1
```
Inference Demo
```python
import os
import numpy as np
import onnxruntime as ort
from mmcv.ops import get_onnxruntime_op_path
ort_custom_op_path = get_onnxruntime_op_path()
assert os.path.exists(ort_custom_op_path)
session_options = ort.SessionOptions()
session_options.register_custom_ops_library(ort_custom_op_path)
# exported ONNX model with custom operators
onnx_file = 'sample.onnx'
input_data = np.random.randn(1, 3, 224, 224).astype(np.float32)
sess = ort.InferenceSession(onnx_file, session_options)
onnx_results = sess.run(None, {'input' : input_data})
```
## How to add a new custom operator for ONNX Runtime in MMCV
### Reminder
- The custom operator is not included in [supported operator list](https://github.com/microsoft/onnxruntime/blob/master/docs/OperatorKernels.md) in ONNX Runtime.
- The custom operator should be able to be exported to ONNX.
### Main procedures
Take custom operator `soft_nms` for example.
1. Add header `soft_nms.h` to ONNX Runtime include directory `mmcv/ops/csrc/onnxruntime/`
2. Add source `soft_nms.cpp` to ONNX Runtime source directory `mmcv/ops/csrc/onnxruntime/cpu/`
3. Register `soft_nms` operator in [onnxruntime_register.cpp](../mmcv/ops/csrc/onnxruntime/cpu/onnxruntime_register.cpp)
```c++
#include "soft_nms.h"
SoftNmsOp c_SoftNmsOp;
if (auto status = ortApi->CustomOpDomain_Add(domain, &c_SoftNmsOp)) {
return status;
}
```
4. Add unit test into `tests/test_ops/test_onnx.py`
Check [here](../tests/test_ops/test_onnx.py) for examples.
**Finally, welcome to send us PR of adding custom operators for ONNX Runtime in MMCV.** :nerd_face:
