TensorRT Engine Model Fixes Implementation

This document describes the implementation of fixes for two critical issues with TensorRT (.engine) YOLO models:

  1. Class names showing as indices instead of actual names
  2. Segmentation masks not returning at original resolution

Problems Addressed

Issue 1: Class Names as Indices

When using TensorRT engine models (.engine files), the model.names attribute may not be properly populated, causing class predictions to show as indices (e.g., "0", "1", "2") instead of meaningful names like "food_label", "invoice", "qr_code".

Issue 2: Mask Resolution Mismatch

Segmentation masks from YOLO models are typically returned at the model's input resolution (e.g., 640x640), not at the original image resolution. This causes mask coordinates to be misaligned with the actual objects in the original frame.

Solution Overview

1. YAML-Based Class Name Loading (src/utils/config_loader.py)

Features:

  • Loads class names from fastrtc-test/config/data.yml
  • Creates mapping from class indices (0-112) to class names
  • Provides fallback mechanisms for missing or invalid configurations
  • Validates class mapping completeness

Key Functions:

load_class_names_from_yaml(config_path: str) -> Dict[int, str]
get_class_name_safe(class_mapping: Dict[int, str], class_id: int, fallback_prefix: str) -> str
load_class_names_with_fallback(config_path: str, fallback_names: List[str]) -> Dict[int, str]
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

2. Mask Resolution Utilities (src/utils/mask_utils.py)

Features:

  • Resizes masks from model input resolution to original frame resolution
  • Handles various mask formats (binary, float, different dimensions)
  • Optimized for performance with proper interpolation methods
  • Validates mask dimensions and properties

Key Functions:

resize_mask_to_original(mask: np.ndarray, original_shape: Tuple[int, int]) -> np.ndarray
calculate_mask_area(mask: np.ndarray) -> int
process_yolo_masks(masks_data: Union[np.ndarray, List[np.ndarray]], original_shape: Tuple[int, int]) -> List[np.ndarray]
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

3. Detector Integration (src/core/detector.py)

Enhanced Constructor:

def __init__(
    self,
    # ... existing parameters ...
    class_config_path: str = "fastrtc-test/config/data.yml",
):
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Key Changes:

  1. Class Name Resolution:

    • Loads class mapping from YAML during initialization
    • Prioritizes config-based names over model.names
    • Provides safe fallback for unknown class indices

  2. Mask Processing:

    • Captures original frame dimensions
    • Resizes masks to original resolution during post-processing
    • Maintains mask accuracy and alignment

Configuration File Format

The fastrtc-test/config/data.yml file should contain:

nc: 113  # Number of classes
names: [
  'basil_chicken_alfredo_linguine_l',
  'basil_chicken_alfredo_linguine_m',
  # ... more food items ...
  'food_label',     # Index 44
  # ... more food items ...
  'invoice',        # Index 55
  # ... more food items ...
  'qr_code',        # Index 81
  # ... remaining classes ...
]
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Usage Examples

Basic Usage with TensorRT Model 

from src.core.detector import YOLOSegmentationDetector

# Initialize detector with TensorRT engine
detector = YOLOSegmentationDetector(
    model_path="models/best.engine",
    class_config_path="fastrtc-test/config/data.yml"
)

# Process frame - will now show proper class names and original resolution masks
annotated_frame, detection_info = detector.detect_and_segment(frame)

# Check detection results
for detection in detection_info["detections"]:
    print(f"Class: {detection['class']}")  # Now shows "food_label" instead of "44"
    print(f"Mask shape: {detection['mask_array'].shape}")  # Now matches frame resolution
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Custom Configuration Path 

detector = YOLOSegmentationDetector(
    model_path="models/custom_model.engine",
    class_config_path="/path/to/custom/data.yml"
)
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Performance Considerations

Class Name Loading

  • Impact: Minimal - loaded once during initialization
  • Memory: ~5KB for 113 class names
  • Fallback: Automatic fallback to model.names if config fails

Mask Resizing

  • Method: OpenCV bilinear interpolation (optimized)
  • Performance: ~1-2ms per mask (depends on resolution difference)
  • Memory: Temporary allocation during resize operation
  • Optimization: Only resizes if resolution differs

Testing and Validation

Run the comprehensive test suite:

cd fastrtc-test
python test_tensorrt_fixes.py
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Test Coverage:

  • ✅ YAML file structure validation
  • ✅ Class name loading and mapping
  • ✅ Mask resizing for multiple resolutions
  • ✅ Detector integration with config
  • ✅ Fallback behavior testing

Error Handling

Class Name Loading Errors 

# Handles missing config file
# Handles malformed YAML
# Handles missing required fields
# Provides meaningful error messages
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Mask Processing Errors 

# Handles empty or invalid masks
# Handles dimension mismatches
# Provides fallback to model resolution
# Logs warnings for debugging
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Debug Logging

Enable detailed logging to see the fixes in action:

import logging
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)

# Will show messages like:
# "🏷️ Using config class name: 44 -> food_label"
# "📐 Resized mask from (640, 640) to (1080, 1920), area: 150000"
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

  1. "Config file not found" 
   # Ensure the config file exists:
   ls -la fastrtc-test/config/data.yml
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
  1. "Class mapping empty" 
   # Validate YAML structure:
   python -c "import yaml; print(yaml.safe_load(open('fastrtc-test/config/data.yml')))"
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
  1. "Mask resize failed" 
   # Check OpenCV installation:
   python -c "import cv2; print(cv2.__version__)"
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Debug Mode

Set environment variable for verbose logging:

export FASTRTC_DEBUG=true
python your_detection_script.py
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
