"""Abstract detection model.

This file defines a generic base class for detection models.  Programs that are
designed to work with arbitrary detection models should only depend on this
class.  We intend for the functions in this class to follow tensor-in/tensor-out
design, thus all functions have tensors or lists/dictionaries holding tensors as
inputs and outputs.

Abstractly, detection models predict output tensors given input images
which can be passed to a loss function at training time or passed to a
postprocessing function at eval time.  The computation graphs at a high level
consequently look as follows:

Training time:
inputs (images tensor) -> preprocess -> predict -> loss -> outputs (loss tensor)

Evaluation time:
inputs (images tensor) -> preprocess -> predict -> postprocess
 -> outputs (boxes tensor, scores tensor, classes tensor, num_detections tensor)

DetectionModels must thus implement four functions (1) preprocess, (2) predict,
(3) postprocess and (4) loss.  DetectionModels should make no assumptions about
the input size or aspect ratio --- they are responsible for doing any
resize/reshaping necessary (see docstring for the preprocess function).
Output classes are always integers in the range [0, num_classes).  Any mapping
of these integers to semantic labels is to be handled outside of this class.

Images are resized in the `preprocess` method. All of `preprocess`, `predict`,
and `postprocess` should be reentrant.

The `preprocess` method runs `image_resizer_fn` that returns resized_images and
`true_image_shapes`. Since `image_resizer_fn` can pad the images with zeros,
true_image_shapes indicate the slices that contain the image without padding.
This is useful for padding images to be a fixed size for batching.

The `postprocess` method uses the true image shapes to clip predictions that lie
outside of images.

By default, DetectionModels produce bounding box detections; However, we support
a handful of auxiliary annotations associated with each bounding box, namely,
instance masks and keypoints.

    """Input preprocessing.

    To be overridden by implementations.

    This function is responsible for any scaling/shifting of input values that
    is necessary prior to running the detector on an input image.
    It is also responsible for any resizing, padding that might be necessary
    as images are assumed to arrive in arbitrary sizes.  While this function
    could conceivably be part of the predict method (below), it is often
    convenient to keep these separate --- for example, we may want to preprocess
    on one device, place onto a queue, and let another device (e.g., the GPU)
    handle prediction.

    A few important notes about the preprocess function:
    + We assume that this operation does not have any trainable variables nor
    does it affect the groundtruth annotations in any way (thus data
    augmentation operations such as random cropping should be performed
    externally).
    + There is no assumption that the batchsize in this function is the same as
    the batch size in the predict function.  In fact, we recommend calling the
    preprocess function prior to calling any batching operations (which should
    happen outside of the model) and thus assuming that batch sizes are equal
    to 1 in the preprocess function.
    + There is also no explicit assumption that the output resolutions
    must be fixed across inputs --- this is to support "fully convolutional"
    settings in which input images can have different shapes/resolutions.
