How to get started?

Ubuntu/Linux

git clone --recursive git@github.com:philipperemy/yolo-9000.git
cd yolo-9000
cat yolo9000-weights/x* > yolo9000-weights/yolo9000.weights # it was generated from split -b 95m yolo9000.weights
md5sum yolo9000-weights/yolo9000.weights # d74ee8d5909f3b7446e9b350b4dd0f44  yolo9000.weights
cd darknet 
make # Will run on CPU. For GPU support, scroll down!
./darknet detector test cfg/combine9k.data cfg/yolo9000.cfg ../yolo9000-weights/yolo9000.weights data/horses.jpg

Mac OS

git clone --recursive git@github.com:philipperemy/yolo-9000.git
cd yolo-9000
cat yolo9000-weights/x* > yolo9000-weights/yolo9000.weights # it was generated from split -b 95m yolo9000.weights
md5sum yolo9000-weights/yolo9000.weights # d74ee8d5909f3b7446e9b350b4dd0f44  yolo9000.weights
cd darknet 
git reset --hard b61bcf544e8dbcbd2e978ca6a716fa96b37df767
make # Will run on CPU. For GPU support, scroll down!
./darknet detector test cfg/combine9k.data cfg/yolo9000.cfg ../yolo9000-weights/yolo9000.weights data/horses.jpg

The output should be something like:

Examples

./darknet detector test cfg/combine9k.data cfg/yolo9000.cfg ../yolo9000-weights/yolo9000.weights data/horses.jpg



./darknet detector test cfg/combine9k.data cfg/yolo9000.cfg ../yolo9000-weights/yolo9000.weights data/person.jpg



Browse on https://pjreddie.com/darknet/yolo/ to find how to compile it for GPU as well. It's much faster!

GPU Support

Make sure that your NVIDIA GPU is properly configured beforehand. nvcc should be in the PATH. If not, something like this should do the job:

export PATH=/usr/local/cuda-8.0/bin:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/cuda-8.0/lib64:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Let's now compile darknet with GPU support!

cd darknet
make clean
vim Makefile # Change the first two lines to: GPU=1 and CUDNN=1. You can also use emacs or nano!
make
./darknet detector test cfg/combine9k.data cfg/yolo9000.cfg ../yolo9000-weights/yolo9000.weights data/dog.jpg

The inference should be much faster:

Loading weights from ../yolo9000-weights/yolo9000.weights...Done!
data/dog.jpg: Predicted in 0.035112 seconds.
car: 70%
canine: 56%
bicycle: 57%

You can also run the command and monitor its status with nvidia-smi:

Here, we can see that our process darknet is running on the first GPU.

Important notes

It was successfully tested on Ubuntu 16.04 and Mac OS. I had it working on MacOS with a previous version of darknet. I now get a SEGFAULT on the newest darknet version with MacOS El Capitan. That's the reason why I pulled a slightly older version of darknet for Mac OS.
