    We provide a script named xml2txt_yolov5.py to convert xml files to txt files, remember to modify the file path before using.

Train

python train.py --img 1280 --batch 8 --epochs 200 --data LLVIP.yaml --weights yolov5l.pt --name LLVIP_export

See more training options in train.py. The pretrained model yolov5l.pt can be downloaded from here. The trained model will be saved in ./runs/train/LLVIP_export/weights folder.

Test

python val.py --data --img 1280 --weights last.pt --data LLVIP.yaml

Remember to put the trained model in the same folder as val.py.

Results

We retrained and tested Yolov5l and Yolov3 on the updated dataset (30976 images).

Where AP means the average of AP at IoU threshold of 0.5 to 0.95, with an interval of 0.05.

The figure above shows the change of AP under different IoU thresholds. When the IoU threshold is higher than 0.7, the AP value drops rapidly. Besides, the infrared image highlights pedestrains and achieves a better effect than the visible image in the detection task, which not only proves the necessity of infrared images but also indicates that the performance of visible-image pedestrian detection algorithm is not good enough under low-light conditions.

We also calculated log average miss rate based on the test results and drew the miss rate-FPPI curve.

See ./pix2pixGAN/options for more train and test options.

Results

We retrained and tested pix2pixGAN on the updated dataset(30976 images). The structure of generator is unet256, and the structure of discriminator is the basic PatchGAN as default.
