YOLOv3-DarkNet53-Quant Description

You only look once (YOLO) is a state-of-the-art, real-time object detection system. YOLOv3 is extremely fast and accurate.

Prior detection systems repurpose classifiers or localizers to perform detection. They apply the model to an image at multiple locations and scales. High scoring regions of the image are considered detections.
YOLOv3 use a totally different approach. It apply a single neural network to the full image. This network divides the image into regions and predicts bounding boxes and probabilities for each region. These bounding boxes are weighted by the predicted probabilities.

YOLOv3 uses a few tricks to improve training and increase performance, including: multi-scale predictions, a better backbone classifier, and more. The full details are in the paper!

In order to reduce the size of the weight and improve the low-bit computing performance, int8 quantization is used.

Paper: YOLOv3: An Incremental Improvement. Joseph Redmon, Ali Farhadi,
University of Washington

Model Architecture

YOLOv3 use DarkNet53 for performing feature extraction, which is a hybrid approach between the network used in YOLOv2, Darknet-19, and that newfangled residual network stuff. DarkNet53 uses successive 3 × 3 and 1 × 1 convolutional layers and has some shortcut connections as well and is significantly larger. It has 53 convolutional layers.

Quick Start

After installing MindSpore via the official website, you can start training and evaluation in Ascend as follows:

# The yolov3_darknet53_noquant.ckpt in the follow script is got from yolov3-darknet53 training like paper. 
# The parameter of resume_yolov3 is  necessary.
# The parameter of training_shape define image shape for network, default is "".
# It means use 10 kinds of shape as input shape, or it can be set some kind of shape.
# run training example(1p) by python command.
python train.py \

Evaluation Process

Evaluation on Ascend

Before running the command below.

python eval.py \
    --data_dir=./dataset/coco2014 \
    --pretrained=0-130_83330.ckpt \
    --testing_shape=416 > log.txt 2>&1 &
OR
sh run_eval.sh dataset/coco2014/ checkpoint/0-130_83330.ckpt 0

The above python command will run in the background. You can view the results through the file "log.txt". The mAP of the test dataset will be as follows:
