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.

This repo is an implementation of PyTorch version YOLOX, there is also a MegEngine implementation.

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

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
