YOLO Tutorial

Real-time General Object Detection

English | 简体中文

We are trying to build our real-time general target detection code base based on the core concepts of YOLO. We have reproduced most of the YOLO series. In addition, we have also written an introductory tutorial on YOLO. We hope that by learning YOLO, a very popular general target detection framework, beginners can master the basic knowledge necessary to study general target detection.

If you are interested in our book, you can purchase it on e-commerce platforms such as Taobao and JD.com in China.

Experiments

VOC

• Download VOC.

cd <RT-ODLab>
cd dataset/scripts/
sh VOC2007.sh
sh VOC2012.sh

• Check VOC

cd <RT-ODLab>
python dataset/voc.py

• Train on VOC

For example:

python train.py --cuda -d voc --root path/to/VOCdevkit -m yolov1 -bs 16 --max_epoch 150 --wp_epoch 1 --eval_epoch 10 --fp16 --ema --multi_scale

COCO

• Download COCO.

cd <RT-ODLab>
cd dataset/scripts/
sh COCO2017.sh

• Clean COCO

cd <RT-ODLab>
cd tools/
python clean_coco.py --root path/to/coco --image_set val
python clean_coco.py --root path/to/coco --image_set train

• Check COCO

cd <RT-ODLab>
python dataset/coco.py

• Train on COCO

For example:

python train.py --cuda -d coco --root path/to/COCO -m yolov1 -bs 16 --max_epoch 150 --wp_epoch 1 --eval_epoch 10 --fp16 --ema --multi_scale

We also kindly provide a script train.sh to run the training code. You need to follow the following format to use this script：

bash train.sh <model> <data> <data_path> <batch_size> <num_gpus> <master_port> <resume_weight>

For example, we use this script to train YOLOv3 from the epoch-0:

bash train.sh yolov3 coco path/to/coco 128 4 1699 None

We can also continue training from existing weights by passing the model's weight file to the resume parameter.

bash train.sh yolov3 coco path/to/coco 128 4 1699 path/to/yolov3.pth

Test

python test.py -d coco \
               --cuda \
               -m yolov1 \
               --img_size 640 \
               --weight path/to/weight \
               --root path/to/dataset/ \
               --no_multi_labels \
               --visual_threshold 0.35 \
               --show

Evaluation

python eval.py -d coco \
               --cuda \
               -m yolov1 \
               --img_size 640 \
               --weight path/to/weight \
               --root path/to/dataset/ \
               --show

Demo

I have provide some images in data/demo/images/, so you can run following command to run a demo with coco pretrained model:

python demo.py --mode image \
               --path_to_img data/demo/images/ \
               --cuda \
               --img_size 640 \
               --model yolov2 \
               --weight path/to/weight \
               --dataset coco \
               --num_classes 80 \
               --show

If you want to try this command with voc pretrained model, you could refer to the following command:

python demo.py --mode image \
               --path_to_img data/demo/images/ \
               --cuda \
               --img_size 640 \
               --model yolov2 \
               --weight path/to/weight \
               --dataset voc \
               --num_classes 20 \
               --show

If you want run a demo of streaming video detection, you need to set --mode to video, and give the path to video --path_to_vid。

python demo.py --mode video \
               --path_to_vid data/demo/videos/your_video \
               --cuda \
               --img_size 640 \
               -m yolov2 \
               --weight path/to/weight \
               --show \
               --gif

If you want run video detection with your camera, you need to set --mode to camera。

python demo.py --mode camera \
               --cuda \
               --img_size 640 \
               -m yolov2 \
               --weight path/to/weight \
               --show \
               --gif

Tracking

Our project also supports multi-object tracking tasks. We use the YOLO of this project as the detector, following the "tracking-by-detection" framework, and use the simple and efficient ByteTrack as the tracker.

Train on custom dataset

Besides the popular datasets, we can also train the model on ourself dataset. To achieve this goal, you should follow these steps:

• Step-1: Prepare the images (JPG/JPEG/PNG ...) and use labelimg to make XML format annotation files.

CustomedDataset
|_ train
|  |_ images     
|     |_ 0.jpg
|     |_ 1.jpg
|     |_ ...
|  |_ annotations
|     |_ 0.xml
|     |_ 1.xml
|     |_ ...
|_ val
|  |_ images     
|     |_ 0.jpg
|     |_ 1.jpg
|     |_ ...
|  |_ annotations
|     |_ 0.xml
|     |_ 1.xml
|     |_ ...
|  ...

• Step-2: Make the configuration for our dataset.

cd <RT-ODLab>
cd config/data_config

You need to edit the dataset_cfg defined in dataset_config.py. You can refer to the customed defined in dataset_cfg to modify the relevant parameters, such as num_classes, classes_names, to adapt to our dataset.

For example:

dataset_cfg = {
    'customed':{
        'data_name': 'AnimalDataset',
        'num_classes': 9,
        'class_indexs': (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8),
        'class_names': ('bird', 'butterfly', 'cat', 'cow', 'dog', 'lion', 'person', 'pig', 'tiger', ),
    },
}

• Step-3: Convert customed to COCO format.

cd <RT-ODLab>
cd tools
# convert train split
python convert_ours_to_coco.py --root path/to/dataset/ --split train
# convert val split
python convert_ours_to_coco.py --root path/to/dataset/ --split val

Then, we can get a train.json file and a val.json file, as shown below.

CustomedDataset
|_ train
|  |_ images     
|     |_ 0.jpg
|     |_ 1.jpg
|     |_ ...
|  |_ annotations
|     |_ 0.xml
|     |_ 1.xml
|     |_ ...
|     |_ train.json
|_ val
|  |_ images     
|     |_ 0.jpg
|     |_ 1.jpg
|     |_ ...
|  |_ annotations
|     |_ 0.xml
|     |_ 1.xml
|     |_ ...
|     |_ val.json
|  ...

• Step-4 Check the data.

cd <RT-ODLab>
cd dataset
# convert train split
python customed.py --root path/to/dataset/ --split train
# convert val split
python customed.py --root path/to/dataset/ --split val

• Step-5 Train

For example:

cd <RT-ODLab>
python train.py --root path/to/dataset/ -d customed -m yolov1 -bs 16 --max_epoch 100 --wp_epoch 1 --eval_epoch 5 -p path/to/yolov1_coco.pth

• Step-6 Test

For example:

cd <RT-ODLab>
python test.py --root path/to/dataset/ -d customed -m yolov1 --weight path/to/checkpoint --show

• Step-7 Eval

For example:

cd <RT-ODLab>
python eval.py --root path/to/dataset/ -d customed -m yolov1 --weight path/to/checkpoint
