v2.0.0

The OpenMMLab team released a new generation of training engine MMEngine at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference on September 1, 2022. It is a foundational library for training deep learning models. Compared with MMCV, it provides a universal and powerful runner, an open architecture with a more unified interface, and a more customizable training process.

The OpenMMLab team released MMCV v2.0.0 on April 6, 2023. In the 2.x version, it has the following significant changes:

(1) It removed the following components:

  • mmcv.fileio module, removed in PR #2179. FileIO module from mmengine will be used wherever required.

  • mmcv.runner, mmcv.parallel, mmcv. engine and mmcv.device, removed in PR #2216.

  • All classes in mmcv.utils (eg Config and Registry) and many functions, removed in PR #2217. Only a few functions related to mmcv are reserved.

  • mmcv.onnx, mmcv.tensorrt modules and related functions, removed in PR #2225.

  • Removed all root registrars in MMCV and registered classes or functions to the root registrar in MMEngine.

(2) It added the mmcv.transforms data transformation module.

(3) It renamed the package name mmcv to mmcv-lite and mmcv-full to mmcv in PR #2235. Also, change the default value of the environment variable MMCV_WITH_OPS from 0 to 1.

MMCV < 2.0 MMCV >= 2.0
# Contains ops, because the highest version of mmcv-full is less than 2.0.0, so there is no need to add version restrictions
pip install openmim
mim install mmcv-full

# do not contain ops
pip install openmim
mim install "mmcv < 2.0.0"
# Contains ops
pip install openmim
mim install mmcv

# Ops are not included, because the starting version of mmcv-lite is 2.0.0rc1, so there is no need to add version restrictions
pip install openmim
mim install mmcv-lite

v1.3.18

Some ops have different implementations on different devices. Lots of macros and type checks are scattered in several files, which makes the code hard to maintain. For example:

  if (input.device().is_cuda()) {
#ifdef MMCV_WITH_CUDA
    CHECK_CUDA_INPUT(input);
    CHECK_CUDA_INPUT(rois);
    CHECK_CUDA_INPUT(output);
    CHECK_CUDA_INPUT(argmax_y);
    CHECK_CUDA_INPUT(argmax_x);

    roi_align_forward_cuda(input, rois, output, argmax_y, argmax_x,
                           aligned_height, aligned_width, spatial_scale,
                           sampling_ratio, pool_mode, aligned);
#else
    AT_ERROR("RoIAlign is not compiled with GPU support");
#endif
  } else {
    CHECK_CPU_INPUT(input);
    CHECK_CPU_INPUT(rois);
    CHECK_CPU_INPUT(output);
    CHECK_CPU_INPUT(argmax_y);
    CHECK_CPU_INPUT(argmax_x);
    roi_align_forward_cpu(input, rois, output, argmax_y, argmax_x,
                          aligned_height, aligned_width, spatial_scale,
                          sampling_ratio, pool_mode, aligned);
  }

Registry and dispatcher are added to manage these implementations.

void ROIAlignForwardCUDAKernelLauncher(Tensor input, Tensor rois, Tensor output,
                                       Tensor argmax_y, Tensor argmax_x,
                                       int aligned_height, int aligned_width,
                                       float spatial_scale, int sampling_ratio,
                                       int pool_mode, bool aligned);

void roi_align_forward_cuda(Tensor input, Tensor rois, Tensor output,
                            Tensor argmax_y, Tensor argmax_x,
                            int aligned_height, int aligned_width,
                            float spatial_scale, int sampling_ratio,
                            int pool_mode, bool aligned) {
  ROIAlignForwardCUDAKernelLauncher(
      input, rois, output, argmax_y, argmax_x, aligned_height, aligned_width,
      spatial_scale, sampling_ratio, pool_mode, aligned);
}

// register cuda implementation
void roi_align_forward_impl(Tensor input, Tensor rois, Tensor output,
                            Tensor argmax_y, Tensor argmax_x,
                            int aligned_height, int aligned_width,
                            float spatial_scale, int sampling_ratio,
                            int pool_mode, bool aligned);
REGISTER_DEVICE_IMPL(roi_align_forward_impl, CUDA, roi_align_forward_cuda);

// roi_align.cpp
// use the dispatcher to invoke different implementation depending on device type of input tensors.
void roi_align_forward_impl(Tensor input, Tensor rois, Tensor output,
                            Tensor argmax_y, Tensor argmax_x,
                            int aligned_height, int aligned_width,
                            float spatial_scale, int sampling_ratio,
                            int pool_mode, bool aligned) {
  DISPATCH_DEVICE_IMPL(roi_align_forward_impl, input, rois, output, argmax_y,
                       argmax_x, aligned_height, aligned_width, spatial_scale,
                       sampling_ratio, pool_mode, aligned);
}

v1.3.11

In order to flexibly support more backends and hardwares like NVIDIA GPUs and AMD GPUs, the directory of mmcv/ops/csrc is refactored. Note that this refactoring will not affect the usage in API. For related information, please refer to PR1206.

The original directory was organized as follows.
