deeptagger
==========

This is an automatic image tagger/classifier written in C++,
primarily targeting various anime models.

Unfortunately, you will still need Python 3, as well as some luck, to prepare
the models, achieved by running download.sh.  You will need about 20 gigabytes
of space for this operation.

"WaifuDiffusion v1.4" models are officially distributed with ONNX model exports
that do not support symbolic batch sizes.  The script attempts to fix this
by running custom exports.

You're invited to change things to suit your particular needs.

Getting it to work
------------------
To build the evaluator, install a C++ compiler, CMake, and development packages
of GraphicsMagick and ONNX Runtime.

Prebuilt ONNX Runtime can be most conveniently downloaded from
https://github.com/microsoft/onnxruntime/releases[GitHub releases].
Remember to also install CUDA packages, such as _nvidia-cudnn_ on Debian,
if you plan on using the GPU-enabled options.

 $ cmake -DONNXRuntime_ROOT=/path/to/onnxruntime -B build
 $ cmake --build build
 $ ./download.sh
 $ build/deeptagger models/deepdanbooru-v3-20211112-sgd-e28.model image.jpg

The project requires a POSIX-compatible system to build.

Options
-------
--batch 1::
	This program makes use of batches by decoding and preparing multiple images
	in parallel before sending them off to models.
	Batching requires appropriate models.
--cpu::
	Force CPU inference, which is usually extremely slow.
--debug::
	Increase verbosity.
--options "CUDAExecutionProvider;device_id=0"::
	Set various ONNX Runtime execution provider options.
--pipe::
	Take input filenames from the standard input.
--threshold 0.1::
	Output weight threshold.  Needs to be set higher on ML-Danbooru models.

Tagging galleries
-----------------
The appropriate invocation depends on your machine, and the chosen model.
Unless you have a powerful machine, or use a fast model, it may take forever.

 $ find "$GALLERY/images" -type l \
   | build/deeptagger --pipe -b 16 -t 0.5 \
     models/ml_caformer_m36_dec-5-97527.model \
   | sed 's|[^\t]*/||' \
   | gallery tag "$GALLERY" caformer "ML-Danbooru CAFormer"

Model benchmarks (Linux)
------------------------
These were measured with ORT 1.16.3 on a machine with GeForce RTX 4090 (24G),
and Ryzen 9 7950X3D (32 threads), on a sample of 704 images,
which took over eight hours.  Times include model loading.

There is room for further performance tuning.

Model benchmarks (macOS)
------------------------
These were measured with ORT 1.16.3 on a MacBook Pro, M1 Pro (16GB),
macOS Ventura 13.6.2, on a sample of 179 images.  Times include model loading.

There was often significant memory pressure and swapping,
which may explain some of the anomalies.  CoreML often makes things worse,
and generally consumes a lot more memory than pure CPU execution.

The kernel panic was repeatable.

Comparison with WDMassTagger
----------------------------
Using CUDA, on the same Linux computer as above, on a sample of 6352 images.
We're a bit slower, depending on the model.
Batch sizes of 16 and 32 give practically equivalent results for both.
