You Only Look One-level Feature (YOLOF), CVPR2021

A simple, fast, and efficient object detector without FPN.

This repo provides an implementation for YOLOF based on cvpods. A neat and re-organized Detectron2 version of YOLOF is available at https://github. com/chensnathan/YOLOF.

Getting Started

Install cvpods
```
cd YOLOF/
python setup.py develop
```
Install mish-cuda to speed up the training and inference when using CSPDarkNet-53 as the backbone (optional)
```
git clone https://github.com/thomasbrandon/mish-cuda
cd mish-cuda
python setup.py build install
cd ..
```
Download the pretrained model in OneDrive or in the Baidu Cloud with code qr6o to train with the CSPDarkNet-53 backbone (optional)
```
mkdir pretrained_models
# download the `cspdarknet53.pth` to the `pretrained_models` directory
```

Train

cd playground/detection/coco/yolof/yolof.res50.C5.1x
pods_train --num-gpus 8

Test

cd playground/detection/coco/yolof/yolof.res50.C5.1x
pods_test --num-gpus 8 MODEL.WEIGHTS /path/to/checkpoint_file

Main results

The models listed below can be found in this onedrive link or in the BaiduCloud link with code qr6o. The FPS is tested on a 2080Ti GPU. More models will be available in the near future.
