Real-time multi-person tracker using YOLO v3 and deep sort

Primary LanguagePython

Yolov3 + Deep Sort with PyTorch

HitCount

Introduction

This repository contains a moded version of PyTorch YOLOv3 (https://github.com/ultralytics/yolov3). It filters out every detection that is not a person. The detections of persons are then passed to a Deep Sort algorithm (https://github.com/ZQPei/deep_sort_pytorch) which tracks the persons. The reason behind the fact that it just tracks persons is that the deep association metric is trained on a person ONLY datatset.

Description

The implementation is based on two papers:

Requirements

Python 3.7 or later with all of the pip install -U -r requirements.txt packages including:

  • torch >= 1.3
  • opencv-python
  • Pillow

All dependencies are included in the associated docker images. Docker requirements are:

  • nvidia-docker
  • Nvidia Driver Version >= 440.44

Before you run the tracker

Github block pushes of files larger than 100 MB (https://help.github.com/en/github/managing-large-files/conditions-for-large-files). Hence the yolo weights needs to be stored somewhere else. When you run tracker.py you will get an exceptions telling you that the yolov3 weight are missing and a link to download them from. Place the downlaoded .pt file under yolov3/weights/. The weights for deep sort are already in this repo. They can be found under deep_sort/deep/checkpoint/.

Tracking

track.py runs tracking on any video source:

python3 track.py --source ...
  • Video: --source file.mp4
  • Webcam: --source 0
  • RTSP stream: --source rtsp://170.93.143.139/rtplive/470011e600ef003a004ee33696235daa
  • HTTP stream: --source http://wmccpinetop.axiscam.net/mjpg/video.mjpg
