LPRNet, 车牌识别网络

整个车牌识别有两部分组成，一个是目标检测部分，可以用yolov4等，另一个部分就是车牌识别部分，用LPRNet。
LPRNet 的官方github是 LPRNet.py
LPRNet主要需要了解三个部分
分别是 1. STN网络部分；2.主体网络部分 3.Loss部分

主体网络backbone属于轻量级模型，其中基础模块叫small_basic_block，具体参考下面注释

关于ctc_loss:

ctc_loss = nn.CTCLoss() #下面的N=batch size
log_probs = torch.randn(50, 16, 20).log_softmax(2).detach().requires_grad_()
#T=50 N=16 C=20 ;
targets = torch.randint(1, 20, (16, 30), dtype=torch.long) # [16,30]
input_lengths = torch.full((16,), 50, dtype=torch.long) #1x16
target_lengths = torch.randint(10,30,(16,), dtype=torch.long)#16x1
loss = ctc_loss(log_probs, targets, input_lengths, target_lengths)
loss.backward()

log_probs：shape为(T, N, C)的模型输出张量，其中，T表示CTCLoss的输入长度也即输出序列长度，N表示训练的batch size长度，C则表示包含有空白标签的所有要预测的字符集总长度，log_probs一般需要经过torch.nn.functional.log_softmax处理后再送入到CTCLoss中；

targets为shape是(N, S)的张量，其中第一种类型，N表示训练的batch size长度，S则为标签长度，第二种类型，则为所有标签长度之和，但是需要注意的是targets不能包含有空白标签；

input_lengths：shape为(N)的张量或元组，但每一个元素的长度必须等于T即输出序列长度，一般来说模型输出序列固定后则该张量或元组的元素值均相同；

target_lengths：shape为(N)的张量或元组，其每一个元素指示每个训练输入序列的标签长度，但标签长度是可以变化的；
