YOLOX is an anchor-free version of YOLO, with a simpler design but better performance! It aims to bridge the gap between research and industrial communities. For more details, please refer to our report on Arxiv.
This repo is an implementation of PyTorch version YOLOX, there is also a MegEngine implementation.
- 【2021/08/19】 We optimize the training process with 2x faster training and ~1% higher performance! See notes for more details.
- 【2021/08/05】 We release MegEngine version YOLOX.
- 【2021/07/28】 We fix the fatal error of memory leak
- 【2021/07/26】 We now support MegEngine deployment.
- 【2021/07/20】 We have released our technical report on Arxiv.
- YOLOX-P6 and larger model.
- Objects365 pretrain.
- Transformer modules.
- More features in need.

Installation
Step1. Install YOLOX.
git clone git@github.com:Megvii-BaseDetection/YOLOX.git
cd YOLOX
pip3 install -U pip && pip3 install -r requirements.txt
pip3 install -v -e . # or python3 setup.py develop
Step2. Install pycocotools.
pip3 install cython; pip3 install 'git+https://github.com/cocodataset/cocoapi.git#subdirectory=PythonAPI'
Demo
Step1. Download a pretrained model from the benchmark table.
Step2. Use either -n or -f to specify your detector's config. For example:
python tools/demo.py image -n yolox-s -c /path/to/your/yolox_s.pth --path assets/dog.jpg --conf 0.25 --nms 0.45 --tsize 640 --save_result --device [cpu/gpu]
or
python tools/demo.py image -f exps/default/yolox_s.py -c /path/to/your/yolox_s.pth --path assets/dog.jpg --conf 0.25 --nms 0.45 --tsize 640 --save_result --device [cpu/gpu]
Demo for video:
python tools/demo.py video -n yolox-s -c /path/to/your/yolox_s.pth --path /path/to/your/video --conf 0.25 --nms 0.45 --tsize 640 --save_result --device [cpu/gpu]
Reproduce our results on COCO
Step1. Prepare COCO dataset
cd <YOLOX_HOME>
ln -s /path/to/your/COCO ./datasets/COCO
Step2. Reproduce our results on COCO by specifying -n:
python tools/train.py -n yolox-s -d 8 -b 64 --fp16 -o [--cache]
yolox-m
yolox-l
yolox-x
- -d: number of gpu devices
- -b: total batch size, the recommended number for -b is num-gpu * 8
- --fp16: mixed precision training
- --cache: caching imgs into RAM to accelarate training, which need large system RAM.
When using -f, the above commands are equivalent to:
python tools/train.py -f exps/default/yolox_s.py -d 8 -b 64 --fp16 -o [--cache]
exps/default/yolox_m.py
exps/default/yolox_l.py
exps/default/yolox_x.py
Multi Machine Training
We also support multi-nodes training. Just add the following args:
- --num_machines: num of your total training nodes
- --machine_rank: specify the rank of each node
Suppose you want to train YOLOX on 2 machines, and your master machines's IP is 123.123.123.123, use port 12312 and TCP.
On master machine, run
python tools/train.py -n yolox-s -b 128 --dist-url tcp://123.123.123.123:12312 --num-machines 2 --machine-rank 0
On the second machine, run
python tools/train.py -n yolox-s -b 128 --dist-url tcp://123.123.123.123:12312 --num-machines 2 --machine-rank 1
Evaluation
We support batch testing for fast evaluation:
python tools/eval.py -n yolox-s -c yolox_s.pth -b 64 -d 8 --conf 0.001 [--fp16] [--fuse]
yolox-m
yolox-l
yolox-x
- --fuse: fuse conv and bn
- -d: number of GPUs used for evaluation. DEFAULT: All GPUs available will be used.
- -b: total batch size across on all GPUs
To reproduce speed test, we use the following command:
python tools/eval.py -n yolox-s -c yolox_s.pth -b 1 -d 1 --conf 0.001 --fp16 --fuse
yolox-m
yolox-l
yolox-x
python3 tools/train.py -f exps/example/yolox_voc/yolox_voc_s.py -d 1 -b 8 --fp16 -c ./pre_trained_model/yolox_s.pth
python3 tools/demo.py video -f exps/example/yolox_voc/yolox_voc_s.py -c ./YOLOX_outputs/yolox_voc_s/best_ckpt.pth --path assets/fire.mp4 --conf 0.55 --nms 0.45 --tsize 640 --save_result --device gpu
