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/) and to Erik Lindernoren for the PyTorch implementation this work is based on (https://github.com/eriklindernoren/PyTorch-YOLOv3).

Requirements

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

• numpy
• torch >= 1.0.0
• opencv-python

Tutorials

• Transfer Learning
• Train Single Image
• Train Single Class
• Train Custom Data

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 120,000 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 0.6 s/batch on a 1080 Ti (18 epochs/day) or 0.45 s/batch on a 2080 Ti.

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%

Speed

https://cloud.google.com/deep-learning-vm/
Machine type: n1-highmem-4 (4 vCPUs, 26 GB memory)
CPU platform: Intel Skylake
GPUs: 1-4 x NVIDIA Tesla P100
HDD: 100 GB SSD

GPUs	batch_size	speed	COCO epoch
(P100)	(images)	(s/batch)	(min/epoch)
1	16	0.54s	66min
2	32	0.99s	61min
4	64	1.61s	49min

Inference

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

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

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

Webcam

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

Pretrained Weights

• Darknet *.weights format: https://pjreddie.com/media/files/yolov3.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.
• Compare to official darknet results from https://arxiv.org/abs/1804.02767.
