Table Notes

• FPS is measured on the same machine with 1 NVIDIA V100 GPU, with batch_size = 1, no_trace and fp16.

• More results can be found on the paper.

Training

Step1: Training cascaded detector

• Single GPU training

  python train_step1.py --workers 8 --device 0 --batch-size 16 --epochs 300 --img 640 --cfg cfg/dy-yolov7-step1.yaml --weight '' --data data/coco.yaml --hyp hyp/hyp.scratch.p5.yaml --name dy-yolov7-step1

• Multiple GPU training (OURS, RECOMMENDED 🚀)

  python -m torch.distributed.launch --nproc_per_node 8 --master_port 9527 train_step1.py --workers 8 --device 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7 --sync-bn --batch-size 128 --epochs 300 --img 640 --cfg cfg/dy-yolov7-step1.yaml --weight '' --data data/coco.yaml --hyp hyp/hyp.scratch.p5.yaml --name dy-yolov7-step1

Step2: Training adaptive router

python train_step2.py --workers 4 --device 0 --batch-size 1 --epochs 2 --img 640 --adam --cfg cfg/dy-yolov7-step2.yaml --weight runs/train/dy-yolov7-step1/weights/last.pt --data data/coco.yaml --hyp hyp/hyp.finetune.dynamic.adam.yaml --name dy-yolov7-step2

Getting the dynamic thresholds for variable-speed inference

python get_dynamic_thres.py --device 0 --batch-size 1 --img-size 640 --cfg cfg/dy-yolov7-step2.yaml --weight weights/dy-yolov7.pt --data data/coco.yaml --task val

Testing

python test.py --img-size 640 --batch-size 1 --conf 0.001 --iou 0.65 --device 0 --cfg cfg/dy-yolov7-step2.yaml --weight weights/dy-yolov7.pt --data data/coco.yaml --dy-thres <DY_THRESHOLD>

Inference

python detect.py --cfg cfg/dy-yolov7-step2.yaml --weight weights/dy-yolov7.pt --num-classes 80 --source <IMAGE/VIDEO> --device 0 --dy-thres <DY_THRESHOLD>
