Introduction

Welcome to DAMO-YOLO! It is a fast and accurate object detection method, which achieves a higher performance than state-of-the-art YOLO series. DAMO-YOLO is extend from YOLO but with some new techs, including Neural Architecture Search (NAS) backbones, efficient Reparameterized Generalized-FPN (RepGFPN), a lightweight head with AlignedOTA label assignment, and distillation enhancement. For more details, please refer to our report on Arxiv(coming soon). Moreover, here you can find not only powerful models, but also highly efficient training strategies and complete tools from training to deployment.

• We report the mAP of models on COCO2017 validation set, with multi-class NMS.
• The latency in this table is measured without post-processing.

Quick Start

Installation

Step1. Install DAMO-YOLO.

git clone https://github.com/tinyvision/damo-yolo.git
cd DAMO-YOLO/
conda create -n DAMO-YOLO python=3.7 -y
conda activate DAMO-YOLO
conda install pytorch==1.7.0 torchvision==0.8.0 torchaudio==0.7.0 cudatoolkit=10.2 -c pytorch
pip install -r requirements.txt
export PYTHONPATH=$PWD:$PYTHONPATH

Step2. 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, e.g., damoyolo_tinynasL25_S.

Step2. Use -f(config filename) to specify your detector's config. For example:

python tools/demo.py -f configs/damoyolo_tinynasL25_S.py --ckpt /path/to/your/damoyolo_tinynasL25_S.pth --path assets/dog.jpg

Reproduce our results on COCO

Step1. Prepare COCO dataset

cd <DAMO-YOLO Home>
ln -s /path/to/your/coco ./datasets/coco

Step 2. Reproduce our results on COCO by specifying -f(config filename)

python -m torch.distributed.launch --nproc_per_node=8 tools/train.py -f configs/damoyolo_tinynasL25_S.py

Finetune on your data

Step1. Prepare your customize data in COCO format, and make sure the dataset name ends with coco. The dataset structure should be organized as follows:

├── Custom_coco
│   ├── annotations
│   │   ├── instances_train2017.json
│   │   └── instances_val2017.json
│   ├── train2017
│   ├── val2017
│   ├── LICENSE
│   ├── README.txt

Step2. Add the data directoy into damo/config/paths_catalog.py. Customize your config file based on default configs, e.g., damoyolo_TinynasL25_S.py. Don't forget to add pretrained model by config.train.finetune_path='./damoyolo_TinynasL25_S.pth' and specify the learning_rate/training_epochs/datasets and other hyperparameters according to your data.

Step3. Start finetuning:

python -m torch.distributed.launch --nproc_per_node=8 tools/train.py -f configs/damoyolo_tinynasL25_S_finetune.py

Evaluation

python -m torch.distributed.launch --nproc_per_node=8 tools/eval.py -f configs/damoyolo_tinynasL25_S.py --ckpt /path/to/your/damoyolo_tinynasL25_S.pth

Deploy

Installation

Step1. Install ONNX.

pip install onnx==1.8.1
pip install onnxruntime==1.8.0
pip install onnx-simplifier==0.3.5

Step2. Install CUDA、CuDNN、TensorRT and pyCUDA

2.1 CUDA

wget https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/10.2/Prod/local_installers/cuda_10.2.89_440.33.01_linux.run
sudo sh cuda_10.2.89_440.33.01_linux.run
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/cuda-10.2/bin
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/cuda-10.2/lib64
source ~/.bashrc

2.2 CuDNN

sudo cp cuda/include/* /usr/local/cuda/include/
sudo cp cuda/lib64/libcudnn* /usr/local/cuda/lib64/
sudo chmod a+r /usr/local/cuda/include/cudnn.h
sudo chmod a+r /usr/local/cuda/lib64/libcudnn*

2.3 TensorRT

cd TensorRT-7.2.1.6/python
pip install tensorrt-7.2.1.6-cp37-none-linux_x86_64.whl
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:TensorRT-7.2.1.6/lib

2.4 pycuda

pip install pycuda==2022.1

Model Convert

Step.1 convert torch model to onnx or trt engine, and the output file would be generated in ./deploy. end2end means to export trt with nms. trt_eval means to evaluate the exported trt engine on coco_val dataset after the export compelete.

python tools/converter.py -f configs/damoyolo_tinynasL25_S.py -c damoyolo_tinynasL25_S.pth --batch_size 1 --img_size 640 --trt --end2end --trt_eval

Step.2 trt engine evaluation on coco_val dataset. end2end means to using trt_with_nms to evaluation.

python tools/trt_eval.py -f configs/damoyolo_tinynasL25_S.py -trt deploy/damoyolo_tinynasL25_S_end2end.trt --batch_size 1 --img_size 640 --end2end

Step.3 trt engine inference demo and appoint test image by -p. end2end means to using trt_with_nms to inference.

python tools/trt_inference.py -f configs/damoyolo_tinynasL25_s.py -t deploy/damoyolo_tinynasL25_S_end2end_fp16_bs1.trt -p assets/dog.jpg --img_size 640 --end2end
