Compile

How to compile on Linux

Just do make in the Yolo-Fastest-master directory. Before make, you can set such options in the Makefile: link

  • GPU=1 to build with CUDA to accelerate by using GPU (CUDA should be in /usr/local/cuda)
  • CUDNN=1 to build with cuDNN v5-v7 to accelerate training by using GPU (cuDNN should be in /usr/local/cudnn)
  • CUDNN_HALF=1 to build for Tensor Cores (on Titan V / Tesla V100 / DGX-2 and later) speedup Detection 3x, Training 2x
  • OPENCV=1 to build with OpenCV 4.x/3.x/2.4.x - allows to detect on video files and video streams from network cameras or web-cams
  • Set the other options in the Makefile according to your need.

Test/Demo

*Run Yolo-Fastest , Yolo-Fastest-x1 , Yolov3 or Yolov4 on image or video inputs

Demo on image input

*Note: change .data , .cfg , .weights and input image file in image_yolov3.sh for Yolo-Fastest-x1, Yolov3 and Yolov4

  sh image_yolov3.sh

Demo on video input

*Note: Use any input video and place in the data folder or use 0 in the video_yolov3.sh for webcam

*Note: change .data , .cfg , .weights and input video file in video_yolov3.sh for Yolo-Fastest-x1, Yolov3 and Yolov4

  sh video_yolov3.sh
