# Quick Start

This tutorial fine-tunes a tiny dataset by pretrained detection model for users to get a model and learn PaddleDetection quickly. The model can be trained in around 15min with good performance.

## Data Preparation

Dataset refers to [Kaggle](https://www.kaggle.com/mbkinaci/fruit-images-for-object-detection), which contains 240 images in train dataset and 60 images in test dataset. Data categories are apple, orange and banana. Download [here](https://dataset.bj.bcebos.com/PaddleDetection_demo/fruit-detection.tar) and uncompress the dataset after download, script for data preparation is located at [download.sh](../dataset/fruit/download.sh). Command is as follows:

```bash
cd dataset/fruit
sh download.sh
```

- **Note: before started, run the following command and specifiy the GPU**

```bash
export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:.
export CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0
```

Training:

```bash
python -u tools/train.py -c configs/yolov3_mobilenet_v1_fruit.yml \
                        --use_tb=True \
                        --tb_log_dir=tb_fruit_dir/scalar \
                        --eval \
```

Use `yolov3_mobilenet_v1` to fine-tune the model from COCO dataset. Meanwhile, loss and mAP can be observed on tensorboard.  

```bash
tensorboard --logdir tb_fruit_dir/scalar/ --host <host_IP> --port <port_num>
```

Result on tensorboard is shown below:

Evaluation:

```bash
python -u tools/eval.py -c configs/yolov3_mobilenet_v1_fruit.yml
```

Inference:

```bash
python -u tools/infer.py -c configs/yolov3_mobilenet_v1_fruit.yml \
                         -o weights=https://paddlemodels.bj.bcebos.com/object_detection/yolov3_mobilenet_v1_fruit.tar \
                         --infer_img=demo/000000570688.jpg
```

Inference images are shown below:
