./darknet detector test cfg/combine9k.data cfg/yolo9000.cfg ../yolo9000-weights/yolo9000.weights data/horses.jpg

Windows

git clone --recursive https://github.com/philipperemy/yolo-9000.git
cd yolo-9000
type yolo9000-weights\xaa yolo9000-weights\xab > yolo9000-weights\yolo9000.weights
certUtil -hashfile yolo9000-weights\yolo9000.weights MD5
cd darknet

The output should be something like:

The image with the bounding boxes is in predictions.png.

Browse on https://pjreddie.com/darknet/yolo/ to find how to compile it for GPU as well. It's much faster!

GPU Support

Make sure that your NVIDIA GPU is properly configured beforehand. nvcc should be in the PATH. If not, something like this should do the job:

export PATH=/usr/local/cuda/bin:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/cuda/lib64:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Let's now compile darknet with GPU support!

cd darknet
make clean
vim Makefile # Change the first two lines to: GPU=1 and CUDNN=1. You can also use emacs or nano!
make
./darknet detector test cfg/combine9k.data cfg/yolo9000.cfg ../yolo9000-weights/yolo9000.weights data/dog.jpg

The inference should be much faster:

Loading weights from ../yolo9000-weights/yolo9000.weights...Done!
data/dog.jpg: Predicted in 0.035112 seconds.
car: 70%
canine: 56%

You can also run the command and monitor its status with nvidia-smi:

Here, we can see that our process darknet is running on the first GPU.

NOTE: We highly recommend a recent GPU with 8GB (or more) of memory to run flawlessly. GTX 1070, GTX 1080 Ti or Titan X are a great choice!

Make your own video! (Ubuntu/Linux)

First we have to install some dependencies (OpenCV and ffmpeg):

sudo apt-get install libopencv-dev python-opencv ffmpeg
cd darknet
make clean
vim Makefile # Change the first three lines to: GPU=1, CUDNN=1 and OPENCV=1. You can also use emacs or nano!
make
./darknet detector demo cfg/combine9k.data cfg/yolo9000.cfg ../yolo9000-weights/yolo9000.weights  -prefix output <path_to_your_video_mp4> -thresh 0.15

By default the threshold is set to 0.25. It means that Yolo displays the bounding boxes of elements with a 25%+ confidence. In practice, a lower threshold means more detected items (but also more errors).

Once this command returns, we merge the output images in a video:

ffmpeg -framerate 25 -i output_%08d.jpg output.mp4

We can now safely remove the temporary generated images:

rm output_*.jpg

The final video is output.mp4.

Convert the weights to Keras

Comment the following lines in the yolo9000.cfg file:

batch=1
subdivisions=1
