base on YOLOX is a high-performance anchor-free YOLO, exceeding yolov3~v5 with MegEngine, ONNX, TensorRT, ncnn, and OpenVINO supported. Documentation: https://yolox.readthedocs.io/ <div align="center"><img src="assets/logo.png" width="350"></div> <img src="assets/demo.png" > ## 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](https://arxiv.org/abs/2107.08430). This repo is an implementation of PyTorch version YOLOX, there is also a [MegEngine implementation](https://github.com/MegEngine/YOLOX). <img src="assets/git_fig.png" width="1000" > ## Updates!! * 【2023/02/28】 We support assignment visualization tool, see doc [here](./docs/assignment_visualization.md). * 【2022/04/14】 We support jit compile op. * 【2021/08/19】 We optimize the training process with **2x** faster training and **~1%** higher performance!

Install YOLOX from source. ```shell git clone [email protected]:Megvii-BaseDetection/YOLOX.git cd YOLOX pip3 install -v -e . # or python3 setup.py develop ``` </details> <details> <summary>Demo</summary> Step1. Download a pretrained model from the benchmark table. Step2. Use either -n or -f to specify your detector's config. For example: ```shell 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 ```shell 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: ```shell 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] ``` </details> <details> <summary>Reproduce our results on COCO</summary> Step1. Prepare COCO dataset ```shell cd <YOLOX_HOME> ln -s /path/to/your/COCO ./datasets/COCO ``` Step2. Reproduce our results on COCO by specifying -n: ```shell 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: ```shell 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 ```shell 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 ```shell 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](https://docs.wandb.ai/guides/integrations/other/yolox) use the command line argument `--logger wandb` and use the prefix "wandb-" to specify arguments for initializing the wandb run. ```shell 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](https://wandb.ai/manan-goel/yolox-nano/runs/3pzfeom0) **Others** See more information with the following command: ```shell python -m yolox.tools.train --help ``` </details> <details> <summary>Evaluation</summary> We support batch testing for fast evaluation: ```shell 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: ```shell 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 ``` </details> <details> <summary>Tutorials</summary> * [Training on custom data](docs/train_custom_data.md) * [Caching for custom data](docs/cache.md) * [Manipulating training image size](docs/manipulate_training_image_size.md) * [Assignment visualization](docs/assignment_visualization.md) * [Freezing model](docs/freeze_module.md) </details> ## Deployment 1.
