# Introduction
This directory contains PyTorch YOLOv3 software developed by Ultralytics LLC, and **is freely available for redistribution under the GPL-3.0 license**. For more information please visit https://www.ultralytics.com.
# 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 all of the `pip install -U -r requirements.txt` packages including:
- `torch >= 1.4`
- `opencv-python`
- `Pillow`
All dependencies are included in the associated docker images. Docker requirements are:

# Jupyter Notebook
Our Jupyter [notebook](https://colab.research.google.com/github/ultralytics/yolov3/blob/master/examples.ipynb) provides quick training, inference and testing examples.
# Training
**Start Training:** `python3 train.py` to begin training after downloading COCO data with `data/get_coco_dataset.sh`. Each epoch trains on 117,263 images from the train and validate COCO sets, and tests on 5000 images from the COCO validate set.
**Resume Training:** `python3 train.py --resume` to resume training from `weights/last.pt`.
**Plot Training:** `from utils import utils; utils.plot_results()` plots training results from `coco_16img.data`, `coco_64img.data`, 2 example datasets available in the `data/` folder, which train and test on the first 16 and 64 images of the COCO2014-trainval dataset.
## 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)
H**S**V Saturation | +/- 50%
HS**V** Intensity | +/- 50%

# Inference
`detect.py` runs inference on any sources:
```bash
python3 detect.py --source ...
```
- Image: `--source file.jpg`
- Video: `--source file.mp4`
- Directory: `--source dir/`
- Webcam: `--source 0`
- RTSP stream: `--source rtsp://170.93.143.139/rtplive/470011e600ef003a004ee33696235daa`
- HTTP stream: `--source http://wmccpinetop.axiscam.net/mjpg/video.mjpg`
To run a specific models:
**YOLOv3:** `python3 detect.py --cfg cfg/yolov3.cfg --weights yolov3.weights`
**YOLOv3-tiny:** `python3 detect.py --cfg cfg/yolov3-tiny.cfg --weights yolov3-tiny.weights`
**YOLOv3-SPP:** `python3 detect.py --cfg cfg/yolov3-spp.cfg --weights yolov3-spp.weights`

## Darknet Conversion
```bash
$ git clone https://github.com/ultralytics/yolov3 && cd yolov3
# convert darknet cfg/weights to pytorch model
$ python3 -c "from models import *; convert('cfg/yolov3-spp.cfg', 'weights/yolov3-spp.weights')"
Success: converted 'weights/yolov3-spp.weights' to 'converted.pt'
# convert cfg/pytorch model to darknet weights
$ python3 -c "from models import *; convert('cfg/yolov3-spp.cfg', 'weights/yolov3-spp.pt')"
Success: converted 'weights/yolov3-spp.pt' to 'converted.weights'
```
# mAP
```bash
$ python3 test.py --cfg yolov3-spp.cfg --weights yolov3-spp-ultralytics.pt
```
- mAP@0.5 run at `--iou-thr 0.5`, mAP@0.5...0.95 run at `--iou-thr 0.7`
