YOLOv3: An Incremental Improvement

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/.

Installation

$ git clone https://github.com/eriklindernoren/PyTorch-YOLOv3
$ cd PyTorch-YOLOv3/
$ sudo pip3 install -r requirements.txt
Download pretrained weights
$ cd weights/
$ bash download_weights.sh
Download COCO
$ cd data/
$ bash get_coco_dataset.sh

Inference

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

Test

Evaluates the model on COCO test.

Train

Data augmentation as well as additional training tricks remains to be implemented. PRs are welcomed!
