This repo contains the implementation of YOLOv2 in Keras with Tensorflow backend. It supports training YOLOv2 network with various backends such as MobileNet and InceptionV3.
python 2.7 or 3.x
keras >= 2.0.8
imgaug
The dataset containing images of people wearing helmets and people without helmets were collected mostly from google search. Some images have people applauding, those were collected from Stanford 40 Action Dataset.
Annotaion of each image was done in Pascal VOC format using the awesome lightweight annotation tool LabelImg for object-detection
Organize the dataset into 4 folders:
-
train_image_folder <= the folder that contains the train images.
-
train_annot_folder <= the folder that contains the train annotations in VOC format.
-
valid_image_folder <= the folder that contains the validation images.
-
valid_annot_folder <= the folder that contains the validation annotations in VOC format.
There is a one-to-one correspondence by file name between images and annotations. If the validation set is empty, the training set will be automatically splitted into the training set and validation set using the ratio of 0.8.
The configuration file is a json file, which looks like this:
{
"model" : {
"architecture": "Full Yolo", # "Tiny Yolo" or "Full Yolo" or "MobileNet" or "SqueezeNet" or "Inception3"
"input_size": 416,
"anchors": [0.57273, 0.677385, 1.87446, 2.06253, 3.33843, 5.47434, 7.88282, 3.52778, 9.77052, 9.16828],
"max_box_per_image": 10,
"labels": ["helmet", "person with helmet", "person without helmet"]
},
"train": {
"train_image_folder": "/train_image_folder/",
"train_annot_folder": "/train_annot_folder/",
"train_times": 10, # the number of time to cycle through the training set, useful for small datasets
"pretrained_weights": "", # specify the path of the pretrained weights, but it's fine to start from scratch
"batch_size": 16, # the number of images to read in each batch
"learning_rate": 1e-4, # the base learning rate of the default Adam rate scheduler
"nb_epoch": 50, # number of epoches
"warmup_epochs": 3, # the number of initial epochs during which the sizes of the 5 boxes in each cell is forced to match the sizes of the 5 anchors, this trick seems to improve precision emperically
"object_scale": 5.0 , # determine how much to penalize wrong prediction of confidence of object predictors
"no_object_scale": 1.0, # determine how much to penalize wrong prediction of confidence of non-object predictors
"coord_scale": 1.0, # determine how much to penalize wrong position and size predictions (x, y, w, h)
"class_scale": 1.0, # determine how much to penalize wrong class prediction
"debug": true # turn on/off the line that prints current confidence, position, size, class losses and recall
},
"valid": {
"valid_image_folder": "",
"valid_annot_folder": "",
"valid_times": 1
}
}The model section defines the type of the model to construct as well as other parameters of the model such as the input image size and the list of anchors. The labels setting lists the labels to be trained on. Only images, which has labels being listed, are fed to the network. The rest images are simply ignored. By this way, a Dog Detector can easily be trained using VOC or COCO dataset by setting labels to ['dog'].
Download pretrained weights for backend (tiny yolo, full yolo, squeezenet, mobilenet, and inceptionV3) at:

These weights must be put in the root folder of the repository. They are the pretrained weights for the backend only and will be loaded during model creation. The code does not work without these weights.
python gen_anchors.py -c config.json
Copy the generated anchors printed on the terminal to the anchors setting in config.json.
python train.py -c config.json
By the end of this process, the code will write the weights of the best model to file best_weights.h5 (or whatever name specified in the setting "saved_weights_name" in the config.json file). The training process stops when the loss on the validation set is not improved in 3 consecutive epoches.
python predict.py -c config.json -w /path/to/best_weights.h5 -i /path/to/image/or/video
It carries out detection on the image and write the image with detected bounding boxes to the same folder.
