# Voice Activity Detection

> **Note**: 
> The modelscope pipeline supports all the models in [model zoo](https://alibaba-damo-academy.github.io/FunASR/en/modelscope_models.html#pretrained-models-on-modelscope) to inference and finetune. Here we take the model of FSMN-VAD as example to demonstrate the usage.

## Inference

### Quick start
#### [FSMN-VAD model](https://modelscope.cn/models/damo/speech_fsmn_vad_zh-cn-16k-common-pytorch/summary)
```python
from modelscope.pipelines import pipeline
from modelscope.utils.constant import Tasks

inference_pipeline = pipeline(
    task=Tasks.voice_activity_detection,
    model='damo/speech_fsmn_vad_zh-cn-16k-common-pytorch',
)

segments_result = inference_pipeline(audio_in='https://isv-data.oss-cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com/ics/MaaS/ASR/test_audio/vad_example.wav')
print(segments_result)
```
#### [FSMN-VAD-online model](https://modelscope.cn/models/damo/speech_fsmn_vad_zh-cn-16k-common-pytorch/summary)
```python
inference_pipeline = pipeline(
    task=Tasks.auto_speech_recognition,
    model='damo/speech_fsmn_vad_zh-cn-16k-common-pytorch',
    )
import soundfile
speech, sample_rate = soundfile.read("example/asr_example.wav")

param_dict = {"in_cache": dict(), "is_final": False}
chunk_stride = 1600# 100ms
# first chunk, 100ms
speech_chunk = speech[0:chunk_stride] 
rec_result = inference_pipeline(audio_in=speech_chunk, param_dict=param_dict)
print(rec_result)
# next chunk, 480ms
speech_chunk = speech[chunk_stride:chunk_stride+chunk_stride]
rec_result = inference_pipeline(audio_in=speech_chunk, param_dict=param_dict)
print(rec_result)
```

### API-reference
#### Define pipeline
- `task`: `Tasks.voice_activity_detection`
- `model`: model name in [model zoo](https://alibaba-damo-academy.github.io/FunASR/en/modelscope_models.html#pretrained-models-on-modelscope), or model path in local disk
- `ngpu`: `1` (Default), decoding on GPU. If ngpu=0, decoding on CPU
- `ncpu`: `1` (Default), sets the number of threads used for intraop parallelism on CPU 
- `output_dir`: `None` (Default), the output path of results if set
- `batch_size`: `1` (Default), batch size when decoding
#### Infer pipeline
- `audio_in`: the input to decode, which could be: 
  - wav_path, `e.g.`: asr_example.wav,
  - pcm_path, `e.g.`: asr_example.pcm, 
  - audio bytes stream, `e.g.`: bytes data from a microphone
  - audio sample point，`e.g.`: `audio, rate = soundfile.read("asr_example_zh.wav")`, the dtype is numpy.ndarray or torch.Tensor
  - wav.scp, kaldi style wav list (`wav_id \t wav_path`), `e.g.`: 
  ```text
  asr_example1  ./audios/asr_example1.wav
  asr_example2  ./audios/asr_example2.wav
  ```
  In this case of `wav.scp` input, `output_dir` must be set to save the output results
- `audio_fs`: audio sampling rate, only set when audio_in is pcm audio
- `output_dir`: None (Default), the output path of results if set

### Inference with multi-thread CPUs or multi GPUs
FunASR also offer recipes [egs_modelscope/vad/TEMPLATE/infer.sh](https://github.com/alibaba-damo-academy/FunASR/blob/main/egs_modelscope/vad/TEMPLATE/infer.sh) to decode with multi-thread CPUs, or multi GPUs.

- Setting parameters in `infer.sh`
    - `model`: model name in [model zoo](https://alibaba-damo-academy.github.io/FunASR/en/modelscope_models.html#pretrained-models-on-modelscope), or model path in local disk
    - `data_dir`: the dataset dir needs to include `wav.scp`
    - `output_dir`: output dir of the recognition results
    - `batch_size`: `64` (Default), batch size of inference on gpu
    - `gpu_inference`: `true` (Default), whether to perform gpu decoding, set false for CPU inference
    - `gpuid_list`: `0,1` (Default), which gpu_ids are used to infer
    - `njob`: only used for CPU inference (`gpu_inference`=`false`), `64` (Default), the number of jobs for CPU decoding
    - `checkpoint_dir`: only used for infer finetuned models, the path dir of finetuned models
    - `checkpoint_name`: only used for infer finetuned models, `valid.cer_ctc.ave.pb` (Default), which checkpoint is used to infer

- Decode with multi GPUs:
```shell
    bash infer.sh \
    --model "damo/speech_paraformer-large_asr_nat-zh-cn-16k-common-vocab8404-pytorch" \
    --data_dir "./data/test" \
    --output_dir "./results" \
    --batch_size 1 \
    --gpu_inference true \
    --gpuid_list "0,1"
```
- Decode with multi-thread CPUs:
```shell
    bash infer.sh \
    --model "damo/speech_paraformer-large_asr_nat-zh-cn-16k-common-vocab8404-pytorch" \
    --data_dir "./data/test" \
    --output_dir "./results" \
    --gpu_inference false \
    --njob 1
```
