git clone https://github.com/tinyvision/damo-yolo.git
cd DAMO-YOLO/
conda create -n DAMO-YOLO python=3.7 -y
conda activate DAMO-YOLO
conda install pytorch==1.7.0 torchvision==0.8.0 torchaudio==0.7.0 cudatoolkit=10.2 -c pytorch
pip install -r requirements.txt
export PYTHONPATH=$PWD:$PYTHONPATHStep2. Install pycocotools.

Step1. Download a pretrained torch, onnx or tensorRT engine from the benchmark table, e.g., damoyolo_tinynasL25_S.pth, damoyolo_tinynasL25_S.onnx, damoyolo_tinynasL25_S.trt.
Step2. Use -f(config filename) to specify your detector's config, --path to specify input data path, image/video/camera are supported. For example:
# torch engine with image
python tools/demo.py image -f ./configs/damoyolo_tinynasL25_S.py --engine ./damoyolo_tinynasL25_S.pth --conf 0.6 --infer_size 640 640 --device cuda --path ./assets/dog.jpg
# onnx engine with video
python tools/demo.py video -f ./configs/damoyolo_tinynasL25_S.py --engine ./damoyolo_tinynasL25_S.onnx --conf 0.6 --infer_size 640 640 --device cuda --path your_video.mp4
# tensorRT engine with camera
python tools/demo.py camera -f ./configs/damoyolo_tinynasL25_S.py --engine ./damoyolo_tinynasL25_S.trt --conf 0.6 --infer_size 640 640 --device cuda --camid 0Reproduce our results on COCO
Step1. Prepare COCO dataset
cd <DAMO-YOLO Home>
ln -s /path/to/your/coco ./datasets/cocoStep 2. Reproduce our results on COCO by specifying -f(config filename)
python -m torch.distributed.launch --nproc_per_node=8 tools/train.py -f configs/damoyolo_tinynasL25_S.pyFinetune on your data
Please refer to custom dataset tutorial for details.
Evaluation
python -m torch.distributed.launch --nproc_per_node=8 tools/eval.py -f configs/damoyolo_tinynasL25_S.py --ckpt /path/to/your/damoyolo_tinynasL25_S.pthCustomize tinynas backbone
Step1. If you want to customize your own backbone, please refer to [MAE-NAS Tutorial for DAMO-YOLO](https://github.com/alibaba/lightweight-neural-architecture-search/blob/main/scripts/damo-yolo/Tutorial_NAS_for_DAMO-YOLO_cn.md). This is a detailed tutorial about how to obtain an optimal backbone under the budget of latency/flops.Step2. After the searching process completed, you can replace the structure text in configs with it. Finally, you can get your own custom ResNet-like or CSPNet-like backbone after setting the backbone name to TinyNAS_res or TinyNAS_csp. Please notice the difference of out_indices between TinyNAS_res and TinyNAS_csp.
structure = self.read_structure('tinynas_customize.txt')
TinyNAS = { 'name'='TinyNAS_res', # ResNet-like Tinynas backbone
'out_indices': (2,4,5)}
TinyNAS = { 'name'='TinyNAS_csp', # CSPNet-like Tinynas backbone
'out_indices': (2,3,4)}

Now we support trt_int8 quantization, you can specify trt_type as int8 to export the int8 tensorRT engine. You can also try partial quantization to achieve a good compromise between accuracy and latency. Refer to partial_quantization for more details.
Step.1 convert torch model to onnx or trt engine, and the output file would be generated in ./deploy. end2end means to export trt with nms. trt_eval means to evaluate the exported trt engine on coco_val dataset after the export compelete.
