Introduction

YOLOX is an anchor-free version of YOLO, with a simpler design but better performance! It aims to bridge the gap between research and industrial communities. For more details, please refer to our report on Arxiv.

This repo is an implementation of PyTorch version YOLOX, there is also a MegEngine implementation.

Updates!!

Comming soon

  • YOLOX-P6 and larger model.
  • Objects365 pretrain.
  • Transformer modules.
  • More features in need.

Quick Start

Installation

Step1. Install YOLOX.

git clone [email protected]:Megvii-BaseDetection/YOLOX.git
cd YOLOX
pip3 install -U pip && pip3 install -r requirements.txt
pip3 install -v -e .  # or  python3 setup.py develop

Step2. Install apex.

# skip this step if you don't want to train model.
git clone https://github.com/NVIDIA/apex
cd apex
pip3 install -v --disable-pip-version-check --no-cache-dir --global-option="--cpp_ext" --global-option="--cuda_ext" ./

Step3. Install pycocotools.

pip3 install cython; pip3 install 'git+https://github.com/cocodataset/cocoapi.git#subdirectory=PythonAPI'
Demo

Step1. Download a pretrained model from the benchmark table.

Step2. Use either -n or -f to specify your detector's config. For example:

python tools/demo.py image -n yolox-s -c /path/to/your/yolox_s.pth --path assets/dog.jpg --conf 0.25 --nms 0.45 --tsize 640 --save_result --device [cpu/gpu]

or

python tools/demo.py image -f exps/default/yolox_s.py -c /path/to/your/yolox_s.pth --path assets/dog.jpg --conf 0.25 --nms 0.45 --tsize 640 --save_result --device [cpu/gpu]

Demo for video:

python tools/demo.py video -n yolox-s -c /path/to/your/yolox_s.pth --path /path/to/your/video --conf 0.25 --nms 0.45 --tsize 640 --save_result --device [cpu/gpu]
Reproduce our results on COCO

Step1. Prepare COCO dataset

cd <YOLOX_HOME>
ln -s /path/to/your/COCO ./datasets/COCO

Step2. Reproduce our results on COCO by specifying -n:

python tools/train.py -n yolox-s -d 8 -b 64 --fp16 -o
                         yolox-m
                         yolox-l
                         yolox-x
  • -d: number of gpu devices
  • -b: total batch size, the recommended number for -b is num-gpu * 8
  • --fp16: mixed precision training

Multi Machine Training

We also support multi-nodes training. Just add the following args:

  • --num_machines: num of your total training nodes
  • --machine_rank: specify the rank of each node

When using -f, the above commands are equivalent to:

python tools/train.py -f exps/default/yolox-s.py -d 8 -b 64 --fp16 -o
                         exps/default/yolox-m.py
                         exps/default/yolox-l.py
                         exps/default/yolox-x.py
Evaluation

We support batch testing for fast evaluation:

python tools/eval.py -n  yolox-s -c yolox_s.pth -b 64 -d 8 --conf 0.001 [--fp16] [--fuse]
                         yolox-m
                         yolox-l
                         yolox-x
  • --fuse: fuse conv and bn
  • -d: number of GPUs used for evaluation. DEFAULT: All GPUs available will be used.
  • -b: total batch size across on all GPUs

To reproduce speed test, we use the following command:

python tools/eval.py -n  yolox-s -c yolox_s.pth -b 1 -d 1 --conf 0.001 --fp16 --fuse
                         yolox-m
                         yolox-l
                         yolox-x
