Introduction

This Repository includes YOLOv3 with some lightweight backbones (ShuffleNetV2, GhostNet, VoVNet), some computer vision attention mechanism (SE Block, CBAM Block, ECA Block), pruning,quantization and distillation for GhostNet.

Important Update

2020.6.1
(1) The best lightweight model——HuaWei GhostNet has been added as the YOLOv3 backbone! It is better than ShuffleNetV2. The result for visdrone dataset is as following.
(2) Add Dorefa quantization method for arbitrary bit quantization! The result for visdrone dataset is as following.
(3) And I delete the ShuffleNet and the attention mechanism.
2020.6.24
(1) Add pruning according to NetworkSlimming.
(2) Add distillation for higher mAP after pruning.
(3) Add Imagenet pretraining model for GhostNet.
2020.9.26
(1) Add VoVNet as the backbone. The result is excellent.

Model Params FPS mAP
GhostNet+YOLOv3 23.49M 62.5 35.1
Pruned Model+Distillation 5.81M 76.9 34.3
Pruned Model+INT8 5.81M 75.1 34
YOLOv5s 7.27M - 32.7
YOLOv5x 88.5M - 41.8
VoVNet 42.8M 28.9 42.7

Attention : Single GPU will be better

Environment

  • python 3.7
  • pytorch >= 1.1.0
  • opencv-python

Datasets

Usage

  1. Download the datasets, place them in the data directory
  2. Train the models by using following command (change the model structure by changing the cfg file)
  python3 train.py --data data/visdrone.data --batch-size 16 --cfg cfg/ghost-yolov3-visdrone.cfg --img-size 640
  1. Detect objects using the trained model (place the pictures or videos in the samples directory)
  python3 detect.py --cfg cfg/ghostnet-yolov3-visdrone.cfg --weights weights/best.pt --data data/visdrone.data
  1. Results:

Pruning and Quantization

Pruning

First of all, execute sparse training.

python3 train.py --data data/visdrone.data --batch-size 4 --cfg cfg/ghost-yolov3-visdrone.cfg --img-size 640 --epochs 300  --device 3 -sr --s 0.0001

Then change cfg and weights in normal_prune.py then use following command

python normal_prune.py

After obtaining pruned.cfg and corresponding weights file, you can fine-tune the pruned model via following command

python3 train.py --data data/visdrone.data --batch-size 4 --cfg pruned.cfg --img-size 640 --epochs 300  --device 3 --weights weights/xxx.weighs

Quantization

If you want to quantize certain convolutional layer, you can just change the [convolutional] to [quan_convolutional] in cfg file. Then use following command

  python3 train.py --data data/visdrone.data --batch-size 16 --cfg cfg/ghostnet-yolov3-visdrone.cfg --img-size 640
