Since someone else created another YOLOv7 after us, We don't want make people messed up with 2 of them, Also we don't want chasing the meaningless AP number as sort of stunts. So We plan to move further development of YOLOv7 into new place -> YOLOvn link. new famework will keep development forever!! These unfinished PRs will merge then start migrate. Thanks for everyone's contribution! Again, new framework is not only for re-implement SOTA models but also exploring new model design, we are not only exploring detection, but also multi-tasking and new transformer arch design.
In short: YOLOv7 added instance segmentation to YOLO arch. Also many transformer backbones, archs included. If you look carefully, you'll find our ultimate vision is to make YOLO great again by the power of transformers, as well as multi-tasks training. YOLOv7 achieves mAP 43, AP-s exceed MaskRCNN by 10 with a convnext-tiny backbone while simillar speed with YOLOX-s, more models listed below, it's more accurate and even more lighter!
GPU resources wanted! yolov7 next version is up-coming, however, I didn't have enough GPU to train pretrained models for everyone, if you have GPUs, please fire a discussion and ping me, I will guide to train new models.
Thanks for Aarohi's youtube vlog for guaidance of yolov7: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ag88beS_fvM , if you want a quick start, take a look at this nice introduction on yolov7 and detectron2.
For someone who still said we shouldn't name yolov7, here is the clarify: We create repo much much more earlier than someone else's paper, we also don't want make you confuse, but as we said, we take this name long long time ago. Besides, our yolov7 is a framework, whole modeling is very intuitive not like yolov5's yml config model way, it's pure in python all at your control. And inside yolov7, we supported a huge range of combination such as YOLOX, YOLOX-Lite, YOLOX-Mask, YOLOX-Keypoint, YOLOv6 Head, YOLOv4, Mosiac Augmentation etc. Using which framework is at your choice, please stop bothering us at naming, please take a look at the create repo time screenshot below. WE ARE EXISTED ALREADY LAST YEAR.
YOLOv7 v2.0 will be released soon! We will release our Convext-tiny YOLO arch model achieves mAP 43.9 with very low latency! Feature will be included in next version:
- Support EfficientFormer backbone;
- Support new YOLO2Go model, more lighter, much more faster and much more accurate;
- Support MobileOne backbone;
For more details, refer to read the doc.
Just fork and star!, you will be noticed once we release the new version!
🔥🔥🔥 Just another yolo variant implemented based on detectron2. But note that YOLOv7 isn't meant to be a successor of yolo family, 7 is just a magic and lucky number. Instead, YOLOv7 extends yolo into many other vision tasks, such as instance segmentation, one-stage keypoints detection etc..
The supported matrix in YOLOv7 are:
- YOLOv4 contained with CSP-Darknet53;
- YOLOv7 arch with resnets backbone;
- YOLOv7 arch with resnet-vd backbone (likely as PP-YOLO), deformable conv, Mish etc;

Special requirements (other version may also work, but these are tested, with best performance, including ONNX export best support):
- torch 1.11 (stable version)
- onnx
- onnx-simplifier 0.3.7
- alfred-py latest
- detectron2 latest
If you using lower version torch, onnx exportation might not work as our expected.
Some highlights of YOLOv7 are:
- A simple and standard training framework for any detection && instance segmentation tasks, based on detectron2;
- Supports DETR and many transformer based detection framework out-of-box;
- Supports easy to deploy pipeline thought onnx.
- This is the only framework support YOLOv4 + InstanceSegmentation in single stage style;
- Easily plugin into transformers based detector;
We are strongly recommend you send PR if you have any further development on this project, the only reason for opensource it is just for using community power to make it stronger and further. It's very welcome for anyone contribute on any features!

Run a quick demo would be like:
python3 demo.py --config-file configs/wearmask/darknet53.yaml --input ./datasets/wearmask/images/val2017 --opts MODEL.WEIGHTS output/model_0009999.pth
Run a quick demo to upload and explore your YOLOv7 prediction with Weights & Biases . See here for an example
python3 demo.py --config-file configs/wearmask/darknet53.yaml --input ./datasets/wearmask/images/val2017 --wandb-entity <your-username/team> --wandb-project <project-name> --opts MODEL.WEIGHTS output/model_0009999.pth
Run SparseInst:
python demo.py --config-file configs/coco/sparseinst/sparse_inst_r50vd_giam_aug.yaml --video-input ~/Movies/Videos/86277963_nb2-1-80.flv -c 0.4 --opts MODEL.WEIGHTS weights/sparse_inst_r50vd_giam_aug_8bc5b3.pth
an update based on detectron2 newly introduced LazyConfig system, run with a LazyConfig model using:
python3 demo_lazyconfig.py --config-file configs/new_baselines/panoptic_fpn_regnetx_0.4g.py --opts train.init_checkpoint=output/model_0004999.pth
For training, quite simple, same as detectron2:
python train_net.py --config-file configs/coco/darknet53.yaml --num-gpus 8
If you want train YOLOX, you can using config file configs/coco/yolox_s.yaml. All support arch are:
- YOLOX: anchor free yolo;
- YOLOv7: traditional yolo with some explorations, mainly focus on loss experiments;
- YOLOv7P: traditional yolo merged with decent arch from YOLOX;
- YOLOMask: arch do detection and segmentation at the same time (tbd);
- YOLOInsSeg: instance segmentation based on YOLO detection (tbd);
There are some rules you must follow to if you want train on your own dataset:
- Rule No.1: Always set your own anchors on your dataset, using
tools/compute_anchors.py, this applys to any other anchor-based detection methods as well (EfficientDet etc.); - Rule No.2: Keep a faith on your loss will goes down eventually, if not, dig deeper to find out why (but do not post issues repeated caused I might don't know either.).
- Rule No.3: No one will tells u but it's real: do not change backbone easily, whole params coupled with your backbone, dont think its simple as you think it should be, also a Deeplearning engineer is not an easy work as you think, the whole knowledge like an ocean, and your knowledge is just a tiny drop of water...
- Rule No.4: must using pretrain weights for transoformer based backbone, otherwise your loss will bump;
Make sure you have read rules before ask me any questions.
detr:
python export.py --config-file detr/config/file
this works has been done, inference script included inside tools.
AnchorDETR:
anchorDETR also supported training and exporting to ONNX.
SparseInst: Sparsinst already supported exporting to onnx!!
python export.py --config-file configs/coco/sparseinst/sparse_inst_r50_giam_aug.yaml --video-input ~/Videos/a.flv --opts MODEL.WEIGHTS weights/sparse_inst_r50_giam_aug_2b7d68.pth INPUT.MIN_SIZE_TEST 512
If you are on a CPU device, please using:
python export.py --config-file configs/coco/sparseinst/sparse_inst_r50_giam_aug.yaml --input images/COCO_val2014_000000002153.jpg --verbose --opts MODEL.WEIGHTS weights/sparse_inst_r50_giam_aug_2b7d68.pth MODEL.DEVICE 'cpu'
Then you can have weights/sparse_inst_r50_giam_aug_2b7d68_sim.onnx generated, this onnx can be inference using ORT without any unsupported ops.
Here is a dedicated performance compare with other packages.
