Description

The https://github.com/ultralytics/yolov3 repo contains inference and training code for YOLOv3 in PyTorch. The code works on Linux, MacOS and Windows. Training is done on the COCO dataset by default: https://cocodataset.org/#home. Credit to Joseph Redmon for YOLO: https://pjreddie.com/darknet/yolo/.

Requirements

Python 3.7 or later with the following pip3 install -U -r requirements.txt packages:

numpy
torch >= 1.0.0
opencv-python
tqdm

Tutorials

Training

Start Training: Run train.py to begin training after downloading COCO data with data/get_coco_dataset.sh.

Resume Training: Run train.py --resume resumes training from the latest checkpoint weights/latest.pt.

Each epoch trains on 117,263 images from the train and validate COCO sets, and tests on 5000 images from the COCO validate set. Default training settings produce loss plots below, with training speed of 0.25 s/batch on a V100 GPU (almost 50 COCO epochs/day).

Here we see training results from coco_1img.data, coco_10img.data and coco_100img.data, 3 example files available in the data/ folder, which train and test on the first 1, 10 and 100 images of the coco2014 trainval dataset.

from utils import utils; utils.plot_results()

Image Augmentation

datasets.py applies random OpenCV-powered (https://opencv.org/) augmentation to the input images in accordance with the following specifications. Augmentation is applied only during training, not during inference. Bounding boxes are automatically tracked and updated with the images. 416 x 416 examples pictured below.

Augmentation	Description
Translation	+/- 10% (vertical and horizontal)
Rotation	+/- 5 degrees
Shear	+/- 2 degrees (vertical and horizontal)
Scale	+/- 10%
Reflection	50% probability (horizontal-only)
HSV Saturation	+/- 50%
HSV Intensity	+/- 50%

Inference

Run detect.py to apply trained weights to an image, such as zidane.jpg from the data/samples folder:

YOLOv3: python3 detect.py --cfg cfg/yolov3.cfg --weights weights/yolov3.weights

YOLOv3-tiny: python3 detect.py --cfg cfg/yolov3-tiny.cfg --weights weights/yolov3-tiny.weights

YOLOv3-SPP: python3 detect.py --cfg cfg/yolov3-spp.cfg --weights weights/yolov3-spp.weights

Webcam

Run detect.py with webcam=True to show a live webcam feed.

Pretrained Weights

PyTorch *.pt format: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1uxgUBemJVw9wZsdpboYbzUN4bcRhsuAI

mAP

Use test.py --weights weights/yolov3.weights to test the official YOLOv3 weights.
Use test.py --weights weights/latest.pt to test the latest training results.
