PP-YOLOE is an excellent single-stage anchor-free model based on PP-YOLOv2, surpassing a variety of popular YOLO models. PP-YOLOE has a series of models, named s/m/l/x, which are configured through width multiplier and depth multiplier. PP-YOLOE avoids using special operators, such as Deformable Convolution or Matrix NMS, to be deployed friendly on various hardware.
PPYOLOE-PLUS-l model structure
| Backbone | Arch | Size | Epoch | SyncBN | Mem (GB) | Box AP | Config | Download |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| PPYOLOE+ -s | P5 | 640 | 80 | Yes | 4.7 | 43.5 | config | model | log |
| PPYOLOE+ -m | P5 | 640 | 80 | Yes | 8.4 | 49.5 | config | model | log |
| PPYOLOE+ -l | P5 | 640 | 80 | Yes | 13.2 | 52.6 | config | model | log |
| PPYOLOE+ -x | P5 | 640 | 80 | Yes | 19.1 | 54.2 | config | model | log |
Note:
- The above Box APs are all models with the best performance in COCO
- The gap between the above performance and the official release is about 0.3. To speed up training in mmyolo, we use pytorch to implement the image resizing in
PPYOLOEBatchRandomResizefor multi-scale training, while official PPYOLOE use opencv. Andlanczos4is not yet supported inPPYOLOEBatchRandomResize. The above two reasons lead to the gap. We will continue to experiment and address the gap in future releases. - The mAP of the non-Plus version needs more verification, and we will update more details of the non-Plus version in future versions.
