# [YOLOv4 Description](#contents)
YOLOv4 is a state-of-the-art detector which is faster (FPS) and more accurate (MS COCO AP50...95 and AP50) than all available alternative detectors.
YOLOv4 has verified a large number of features, and selected for use such of them for improving the accuracy of both the classifier and the detector. 
These features can be used as best-practice for future studies and developments.

[Paper](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2004.10934.pdf):
Bochkovskiy A, Wang C Y, Liao H Y M. YOLOv4: Optimal Speed and Accuracy of Object Detection[J]. arXiv preprint arXiv:2004.10934, 2020.

# [Model Architecture](#contents)

YOLOv4 choose CSPDarknet53 backbone, SPP additional module, PANet path-aggregation neck, and YOLOv4 (anchor based) head as the architecture of YOLOv4.

# [Dataset](#contents)

Dataset support: [MS COCO] or datasetd with the same format as MS COCO
Annotation support: [MS COCO] or annotation as the same format as MS COCO

- The directory structure is as follows, the name of directory and file is user define:
    ```
        ├── dataset
            ├── YOLOv4
                ├── annotations
                │   ├─ train.json
                │   └─ val.json

                        └─picturen.jpg
                
    ```
we suggest user to use MS COCO dataset to experience our model,
other datasets need to use the same format as MS COCO.

## [Training Process](#contents)
YOLOv4 can be trained from the scratch or with the backbone named cspdarknet53. 
Cspdarknet53 is a classifier which can be trained on some dataset like ImageNet(ILSVRC2012).
It is easy for users to train Cspdarknet53. Just replace the backbone of Classifier Resnet50 with cspdarknet53. 
Resnet50 is easy to get in mindspore model zoo.
### Training
For Ascend device, standalone training example(1p) by shell script
```
sh run_standalone_train.sh dataset/coco2017 cspdarknet53_backbone.ckpt
```
```
python train.py \
    --data_dir=/dataset/xxx \
    --pretrained_backbone=cspdarknet53_backbone.ckpt \
    --is_distributed=0 \
    --lr=0.1 \
    --t_max=320 \
    --max_epoch=320 \
    --warmup_epochs=4 \
    --training_shape=416 \
    --lr_scheduler=cosine_annealing > log.txt 2>&1 &
```
The python command above will run in the background, you can view the results through the file log.txt.

After training, you'll get some checkpoint files under the outputs folder by default. The loss value will be achieved as follows:
```

# grep "loss:" train/log.txt

### Distributed Training
For Ascend device, distributed training example(8p) by shell script
```
sh run_distribute_train.sh dataset/coco2017 cspdarknet53_backbone.ckpt rank_table_8p.json
```

The above shell script will run distribute training in the background. You can view the results through the file train_parallel[X]/log.txt. The loss value will be achieved as follows:
```

### Test-dev
```
python test.py \
    --data_dir=./dataset/coco2017 \
    --pretrained=yolov4.ckpt \
    --testing_shape=608 > log.txt 2>&1 &
OR
sh run_test.sh dataset/coco2017 checkpoint/yolov4.ckpt 
```
The predict_xxx.json will be found in test/outputs/%Y-%m-%d_time_%H_%M_%S/.
Rename the file predict_xxx.json to detections_test-dev2017_yolov4_results.json and compress it to detections_test-dev2017_yolov4_results.zip
Submit file detections_test-dev2017_yolov4_results.zip to the MS COCO evaluation server for the test-dev2019 (bbox) https://competitions.codalab.org/competitions/20794#participate
You will get such results in the end of file View scoring output log.

## [Convert Process](#contents)

### Convert
If you want to infer the network on Ascend 310, you should convert the model to AIR:

```python
python src/export.py --pretrained=[PRETRAINED_BACKBONE] --batch_size=[BATCH_SIZE]
