Where is the yolov6 paper?

[Keiku]

Has a paper been released comparing it with other YOLOvX series detectors?

By the way, there is no paper for YOLOv5 and YOLOv7(jinfagang), so everyone is confused.

• where is yolov5 paper? ultralytics/yolov5#1333
• Where is the yolov7 paper? lucasjinreal/yolov7_d2#6

Updated: YOLOv7(WongKinYiu) paper has been released.

Waiting for author's paper or technical report !!!!

I'm glad it wasn't a non-academic work like YOLOv5 or YOLOv7(jinfagang). Thank you for your reply.

Updated: YOLOv7(WongKinYiu) paper has been released.

@Keiku @ttjjmm Thanks for your attention! We will publish the technical report of YOLOv6 soon.

Please check the real YOLOv7 paper (including the original YOLO authors):

@cmhungsteve There are two implementations of YOLOv7. The correct implementation is for WongKinYiu, right?

• https://github.com/WongKinYiu/yolov7
• https://github.com/jinfagang/yolov7

@Keiku I would not say which one is "correct". They are two different methods, but they both call themselves "YOLOv7".
The first one is from YOLO and YOLO-v4 authors.
The second one is from another active GitHub user.

I guess both methods work well. You can just choose whatever you like.

@cmhungsteve Thanks for your comment. That's right. I believe in the work of Alexey, which also has paper released. I would use WongKinYiu's YOLOv7.

It seems that your comments were deleted and blocked...

@cmhungsteve I wasn't the direct cause, but the comments of others made it off-topic. The author says that there is no paper because it is a framework name. However, I think it's okay to ask if there is paper.
