    Quick Start

    Installation

    Step1. Install YOLOX from source.

    git clone git@github.com:Megvii-BaseDetection/YOLOX.git
    cd YOLOX
    pip3 install -v -e .  # or  python3 setup.py develop
    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 -m yolox.tools.train -n yolox-s -d 8 -b 64 --fp16 -o [--cache]
                                   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
    • --cache: caching imgs into RAM to accelarate training, which need large system RAM.

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

    python -m yolox.tools.train -f exps/default/yolox_s.py -d 8 -b 64 --fp16 -o [--cache]
                                   exps/default/yolox_m.py
                                   exps/default/yolox_l.py
                                   exps/default/yolox_x.py

    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

    Suppose you want to train YOLOX on 2 machines, and your master machines's IP is 123.123.123.123, use port 12312 and TCP.

    On master machine, run

    python tools/train.py -n yolox-s -b 128 --dist-url tcp://123.123.123.123:12312 --num_machines 2 --machine_rank 0

    On the second machine, run

    python tools/train.py -n yolox-s -b 128 --dist-url tcp://123.123.123.123:12312 --num_machines 2 --machine_rank 1

    Logging to Weights & Biases

    To log metrics, predictions and model checkpoints to W&B use the command line argument --logger wandb and use the prefix "wandb-" to specify arguments for initializing the wandb run.

    python tools/train.py -n yolox-s -d 8 -b 64 --fp16 -o [--cache] --logger wandb wandb-project <project name>
                             yolox-m
                             yolox-l
                             yolox-x

    An example wandb dashboard is available here

    Others

    See more information with the following command:

    python -m yolox.tools.train --help
    Evaluation

    We support batch testing for fast evaluation:

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

    In memory of Dr. Jian Sun

    Without the guidance of Dr. Jian Sun, YOLOX would not have been released and open sourced to the community. The passing away of Dr. Jian is a huge loss to the Computer Vision field. We add this section here to express our remembrance and condolences to our captain Dr. Jian. It is hoped that every AI practitioner in the world will stick to the concept of "continuous innovation to expand cognitive boundaries, and extraordinary technology to achieve product value" and move forward all the way.

    没有孙剑博士的指导,YOLOX也不会问世并开源给社区使用。 孙剑博士的离去是CV领域的一大损失,我们在此特别添加了这个部分来表达对我们的“船长”孙老师的纪念和哀思。 希望世界上的每个AI从业者秉持着“持续创新拓展认知边界,非凡科技成就产品价值”的观念,一路向前。
