Minimal implementation of YOLOv3 in PyTorch.
Joseph Redmon, Ali Farhadi
Abstract
We present some updates to YOLO! We made a bunch
of little design changes to make it better. We also trained
this new network that’s pretty swell. It’s a little bigger than
last time but more accurate. It’s still fast though, don’t
worry. At 320 × 320 YOLOv3 runs in 22 ms at 28.2 mAP,
as accurate as SSD but three times faster. When we look
at the old .5 IOU mAP detection metric YOLOv3 is quite
good. It achieves 57.9 AP50 in 51 ms on a Titan X, compared
to 57.5 AP50 in 198 ms by RetinaNet, similar performance
but 3.8× faster. As always, all the code is online at
https://pjreddie.com/yolo/.
[Paper] [Original Implementation]
$ git clone https://github.com/eriklindernoren/PyTorch-YOLOv3
$ cd PyTorch-YOLOv3/
$ sudo pip3 install -r requirements.txt
$ cd weights/
$ bash download_weights.sh
$ cd data/
$ bash get_coco_dataset.sh
Uses pretrained weights to make predictions on images. Below table displays the inference times when using as inputs images scaled to 256x256. The ResNet backbone measurements are taken from the YOLOv3 paper. The Darknet-53 measurement marked shows the inference time of this implementation on my 1080ti card.
| Backbone | GPU | FPS |
|---|---|---|
| ResNet-101 | Titan X | 53 |
| ResNet-152 | Titan X | 37 |
| Darknet-53 (paper) | Titan X | 76 |
| Darknet-53 (this impl.) | 1080ti | 74 |
$ python3 detect.py --image_folder /data/samples
Evaluates the model on COCO test.
$ python3 test.py --weights_path weights/yolov3.weights
| Model | mAP (min. 50 IoU) |

| YOLOv3 (paper) | 57.9 |
| YOLOv3 (this impl.) | 58.2 |
Training on COCO. Data augmentation as well as additional training tricks remains to be implemented. PRs are welcomed!
