Training YOLOv3 Object Detector - Snowman
- Install awscli
sudo pip3 install awscli
- Get the relevant OpenImages files needed to locate images of our interest
wget https://storage.googleapis.com/openimages/2018_04/class-descriptions-boxable.csv
wget https://storage.googleapis.com/openimages/2018_04/train/train-annotations-bbox.csv
- Download the images from OpenImagesV4
python3 getDataFromOpenImages_snowman.py
- Create the train-test split
python3 splitTrainAndTest.py /data-ssd/sunita/snowman/JPEGImages
Give the correct path to the data JPEGImages folder. The 'labels' folder should be in the same directory as the JPEGImages folder.
- Install Darknet and compile it.
cd ~
git clone https://github.com/pjreddie/darknet
cd darknet
make
- Get the pretrained model
wget https://pjreddie.com/media/files/darknet53.conv.74 -O ~/darknet/darknet53.conv.74
-
Fill in correct paths in the darknet.data file
-
Start the training as below, by giving the correct paths to all the files being used as arguments
cd ~/darknet
./darknet detector train /path/to/snowman/darknet.data /path/to/snowman/darknet-yolov3.cfg ./darknet53.conv.74 > /path/to/snowman/train.log
- Give the correct path to the modelConfiguration and modelWeights files in object_detection_yolo.py and test any image or video for snowman detection, e.g.
python3 object_detection_yolo.py --image=snowmanImage.jpg
