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 pip install -U -r requirements.txt packages including torch >= 1.5. Docker images come with all dependencies preinstalled. Docker requirements are:

• Nvidia Driver >= 440.44
• Docker Engine - CE >= 19.03

Tutorials

• Train Custom Data < highly recommended!!
• Train Single Class
• Google Colab Notebook with quick training, inference and testing examples
• GCP Quickstart
• Docker Quickstart Guide
• A TensorRT Implementation of YOLOv3-SPP

Training

Start Training: python3 train.py to begin training after downloading COCO data with data/get_coco2017.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()

Image Augmentation

datasets.py applies OpenCV-powered (https://opencv.org/) augmentation to the input image. We use a mosaic dataloader (pictured below) to increase image variability during training.

Darknet Conversion

$ 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'

Reproduce Our Results

This command trains yolov3-spp.cfg from scratch to our mAP above. Training takes about one week on a 2080Ti.

$ python3 train.py --weights '' --cfg yolov3-spp.cfg --epochs 300 --batch-size 16 --img 320 640

Reproduce Our Environment

To access an up-to-date working environment (with all dependencies including CUDA/CUDNN, Python and PyTorch preinstalled), consider a:

• GCP Deep Learning VM with $300 free credit offer: See our GCP Quickstart Guide
• Google Colab Notebook with 12 hours of free GPU time: Google Colab Notebook
• Docker Image from https://hub.docker.com/r/ultralytics/yolov3. See Docker Quickstart Guide
