Install dependencies

Run the installation script to install all the dependencies. You need to provide the conda install path (e.g. ~/anaconda3) and the name for the created conda environment (here YOLOv4-pytorch).

pip3 install -r requirements.txt --user

Note: The install script has been tested on an Ubuntu 18.04 and Window 10 system. In case of issues, check the detailed installation instructions.

Prepared work

1、Git clone YOLOv4 repository

git clone github.com/argusswift/YOLOv4-pytorch.git

Update the "PROJECT_PATH" in the config/yolov4_config.py.

2、Prepared dataset

PascalVOC

# Download the data.
cd $HOME/data
wget http://host.robots.ox.ac.uk/pascal/VOC/voc2012/VOCtrainval_11-May-2012.tar
wget http://host.robots.ox.ac.uk/pascal/VOC/voc2007/VOCtrainval_06-Nov-2007.tar
wget http://host.robots.ox.ac.uk/pascal/VOC/voc2007/VOCtest_06-Nov-2007.tar
# Extract the data.
tar -xvf VOCtrainval_11-May-2012.tar
tar -xvf VOCtrainval_06-Nov-2007.tar
tar -xvf VOCtest_06-Nov-2007.tar

• Download links:{VOC 2012_trainval 、VOC 2007_trainval、VOC2007_test}、

MSCOCO 2017

  #step1: download the following data and annotation
  2017 Train images [118K/18GB]
  2017 Val images [5K/1GB]
  2017 Test images [41K/6GB]
  2017 Train/Val annotations [241MB]
  #step2: arrange the data to the following structure
  COCO
  ---train
  ---test
  ---val
  ---annotations

• Download links:{train2017_img 、train2017_ann 、val2017_img 、val2017_ann 、test2017_img 、test2017_list }

And then

• Put them in the dir, and update the "DATA_PATH" in the config/yolov4_config.py.
• (for COCO) Use coco_to_voc.py to transfer COCO datatype to VOC datatype.
• Convert data format :use utils/voc.py or utils/coco.py convert the pascal voc *.xml format (COCO *.json format)to *.txt format (Image_path   xmin0,ymin0,xmax0,ymax0,class0   xmin1,ymin1,xmax1,ymax1,class1  ...).

3、Download weight file

• Darknet pre-trained weight : yolov4
• Mobilenet pre-trained weight : mobilenetv2(code:args),mobilenetv3(code:args)
• Make dir weight/ in the YOLOv4 and put the weight file in.
• set MODEL_TYPE in config/yolov4_config.py when you run training program.

4、Transfer to your own dataset（train your own dataset）

• Put pictures of your dataset into the JPEGImages folder, and Annotations files into the Annotations folder.
• Use the xml_to_txt.py file to write the list of training and test files to ImageSets/Main/*.txt.
• Convert data format :use utils/voc.py or utils/coco.py convert the pascal voc *.xml format (COCO *.json format)to *.txt format (Image_path   xmin0,ymin0,xmax0,ymax0,class0   xmin1,ymin1,xmax1,ymax1,class1  ...).

To train

Run the following command to start training and see the details in the config/yolov4_config.py and you should set DATA_TYPE is VOC or COCO when you run training program.

CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 nohup python -u train.py  --weight_path weight/yolov4.weights --gpu_id 0 > nohup.log 2>&1 &

Also * It supports to resume training adding --resume, it will load last.pt automaticly by using commad

CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 nohup python -u train.py  --weight_path weight/last.pt --gpu_id 0 > nohup.log 2>&1 &

---

To detect

Modify your detecte img path:DATA_TEST=/path/to/your/test_data # your own images

for VOC dataset:
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python3 eval_voc.py --weight_path weight/best.pt --gpu_id 0 --visiual $DATA_TEST --eval --mode det
for COCO dataset:
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python3 eval_coco.py --weight_path weight/best.pt --gpu_id 0 --visiual $DATA_TEST --eval --mode det

The images can be seen in the output/. you could see pictures like follows:

---

To test video

Modify:

• video_path:/path/to/your/video
• weight_path:/path/to/your/weight
• output_dir:/path/to/save/dir

CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python3 video_test.py --weight_path best.pt --gpu_id 0 --video_path video.mp4 --output_dir --output_dir

---

To evaluate （PASCAL VOC）

Modify your evaluate dataset path:DATA_PATH=/path/to/your/test_data # your own images

for VOC dataset:
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python3 eval_voc.py --weight_path weight/best.pt --gpu_id 0 --visiual $DATA_TEST --eval --mode val

If you want to see the picture above, you should use follow commands:

# To get ground truths of your dataset
python3 utils/get_gt_txt.py
# To plot P-R curve and calculate mean average precision
python3 utils/get_map.py 

To evaluate （COCO）

Modify your evaluate dataset path:DATA_PATH=/path/to/your/test_data # your own images

CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python3 eval_coco.py --weight_path weight/best.pt --gpu_id 0 --visiual $DATA_TEST --eval --mode val

To visualize heatmaps

Set showatt=Ture in val_voc.py and you will see the heatmaps emerged from network' output

for VOC dataset:
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python3 eval_voc.py --weight_path weight/best.pt --gpu_id 0 --visiual $DATA_TEST --eval
for COCO dataset:
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python3 eval_coco.py --weight_path weight/best.pt --gpu_id 0 --visiual $DATA_TEST --eval

The heatmaps can be seen in the output/ like this:
