How to compile:

  1. If you have MSVS 2015, CUDA 8.0 and OpenCV 2.4.9 (with paths: C:\opencv_2.4.9\opencv\build\include & C:\opencv_2.4.9\opencv\build\x64\vc12\lib or vc14\lib), then start MSVS, open build\darknet\darknet.sln, set x64 and Release, and do the: Build -> Build darknet

  2. If you have other version of CUDA (not 8.0) then open build\darknet\darknet.vcxproj by using Notepad, find 2 places with "CUDA 8.0" and change it to your CUDA-version, then do step 1

  3. If you have other version of OpenCV 2.4.x (not 2.4.9) then you should change pathes after \darknet.sln is opened

3.1 (right click on project) -> properties -> C/C++ -> General -> Additional Include Directories

3.2 (right click on project) -> properties -> Linker -> General -> Additional Library Directories

3.3 Open file: \src\yolo.c and change 3 lines to your OpenCV-version - 249 (for 2.4.9), 2413 (for 2.4.13), ... :

* `#pragma comment(lib, "opencv_core249.lib")`
* `#pragma comment(lib, "opencv_imgproc249.lib")`
* `#pragma comment(lib, "opencv_highgui249.lib")`

  1. If you have other version of OpenCV 3.x (not 2.4.x) then you should change many places in code by yourself.

  2. If you want to build with CUDNN to speed up then:

    • open \darknet.sln -> (right click on project) -> properties -> C/C++ -> Preprocessor -> Preprocessor Definitions, and add at the beginning of line: CUDNN;

How to compile (custom):

Also, you can to create your own darknet.sln & darknet.vcxproj, this example for CUDA 8.0 and OpenCV 2.4.9

Then add to your created project:
- (right click on project) -> properties -> C/C++ -> General -> Additional Include Directories, put here:

C:\opencv_2.4.9\opencv\build\include;..\..\3rdparty\include;%(AdditionalIncludeDirectories);$(CudaToolkitIncludeDir);$(cudnn)\include
- (right click on project) -> Build dependecies -> Build Customizations -> set check on CUDA 8.0 or what version you have - for example as here: http://devblogs.nvidia.com/parallelforall/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/VS2013-R-5.jpg
- add to project all .c & .cu files from \src
- (right click on project) -> properties -> Linker -> General -> Additional Library Directories, put here:

C:\opencv_2.4.9\opencv\build\x64\vc12\lib;$(CUDA_PATH)lib\$(PlatformName);$(cudnn)\lib\x64;%(AdditionalLibraryDirectories)
- (right click on project) -> properties -> Linker -> Input -> Additional dependecies, put here:

..\..\3rdparty\lib\x64\pthreadVC2.lib;cublas.lib;curand.lib;cudart.lib;cudnn.lib;%(AdditionalDependencies)
- (right click on project) -> properties -> C/C++ -> Preprocessor -> Preprocessor Definitions

  • open file: \src\yolo.c and change 3 lines to your OpenCV-version - 249 (for 2.4.9), 2413 (for 2.4.13), ... :

    • #pragma comment(lib, "opencv_core249.lib")
    • #pragma comment(lib, "opencv_imgproc249.lib")
    • #pragma comment(lib, "opencv_highgui249.lib")

OPENCV;_TIMESPEC_DEFINED;_CRT_SECURE_NO_WARNINGS;GPU;WIN32;NDEBUG;_CONSOLE;_LIB;%(PreprocessorDefinitions)
- compile to .exe (X64 & Release) and put .dll-s near with .exe:

pthreadVC2.dll, pthreadGC2.dll from \3rdparty\dll\x64

cusolver64_80.dll, curand64_80.dll, cudart64_80.dll, cublas64_80.dll - 80 for CUDA 8.0 or your version, from C:\Program Files\NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit\CUDA\v8.0\bin

How to train (Pascal VOC Data):

  1. Download pre-trained weights for the convolutional layers (76 MB): http://pjreddie.com/media/files/darknet19_448.conv.23 and put to the directory build\darknet\x64

  2. Download The Pascal VOC Data and unpack it to directory build\darknet\x64\data\voc will be created dir build\darknet\x64\data\voc\VOCdevkit\:

    2.1 Download file voc_label.py to dir build\darknet\x64\data\voc: http://pjreddie.com/media/files/voc_label.py

  3. Download and install Python for Windows: https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.5.2/python-3.5.2-amd64.exe

  4. Run command: python build\darknet\x64\data\voc\voc_label.py (to generate files: 2007_test.txt, 2007_train.txt, 2007_val.txt, 2012_train.txt, 2012_val.txt)

  5. Run command: type 2007_train.txt 2007_val.txt 2012_*.txt > train.txt

  6. Start training by using train_voc.cmd or by using the command line: darknet.exe detector train data/voc.data yolo-voc.cfg darknet19_448.conv.23

If required change pathes in the file build\darknet\x64\data\voc.data

More information about training by the link: http://pjreddie.com/darknet/yolo/#train-voc

How to train with multi-GPU:

  1. Train it first on 1 GPU for like 1000 iterations: darknet.exe detector train data/voc.data yolo-voc.cfg darknet19_448.conv.23

  2. Then stop and by using partially-trained model /backup/yolo-voc_1000.weights run training with multigpu (up to 4 GPUs): darknet.exe detector train data/voc.data yolo-voc.cfg yolo-voc_1000.weights -gpus 0,1,2,3

How to train (to detect your custom objects):

  1. Create file yolo-obj.cfg with the same content as in yolo-voc.cfg (or copy yolo-voc.cfg to yolo-obj.cfg) and:
  • change line classes=20 to your number of objects
  • change line #224 from filters=125 to filters=(classes + 5)*5 (generally this depends on the num and coords, i.e. equal to (classes + coords + 1)*num)

For example, for 2 objects, your file yolo-obj.cfg should differ from yolo-voc.cfg in such lines:

```
[convolutional]
filters=35

[region]
classes=2
```

  1. Create file obj.names in the directory build\darknet\x64\data\, with objects names - each in new line

  2. Create file obj.data in the directory build\darknet\x64\data\, containing (where classes = number of objects):

classes= 2 train = train.txt valid = test.txt names = obj.names backup = backup/

  1. Put image-files (.jpg) of your objects in the directory build\darknet\x64\data\obj\

  2. Create .txt-file for each .jpg-image-file - in the same directory and with the same name, but with .txt-extension, and put to file: object number and object coordinates on this image, for each object in new line: <object-class> <x> <y> <width> <height>

Where:
* <object-class> - integer number of object from 0 to (classes-1)
* <x> <y> <width> <height> - float values relative to width and height of image, it can be equal from 0.0 to 1.0
* for example: <x> = <absolute_x> / <image_width> or <height> = <absolute_height> / <image_height>
* atention: <x> <y> - are center of rectangle (are not top-left corner)

For example for img1.jpg you should create img1.txt containing:

1 0.716797 0.395833 0.216406 0.147222 0 0.687109 0.379167 0.255469 0.158333 1 0.420312 0.395833 0.140625 0.166667

  1. Create file train.txt in directory build\darknet\x64\data\, with filenames of your images, each filename in new line, with path relative to darknet.exe, for example containing:

data/obj/img1.jpg data/obj/img2.jpg data/obj/img3.jpg

  1. Download pre-trained weights for the convolutional layers (76 MB): http://pjreddie.com/media/files/darknet19_448.conv.23 and put to the directory build\darknet\x64

  2. Start training by using the command line: darknet.exe detector train data/obj.data yolo-obj.cfg darknet19_448.conv.23

  3. After training is complete - get result yolo-obj_final.weights from path build\darknet\x64\backup\

  • After each 1000 iterations you can stop and later start training from this point. For example, after 2000 iterations you can stop training, and later just copy yolo-obj_2000.weights from build\darknet\x64\backup\ to build\darknet\x64\ and start training using: darknet.exe detector train data/obj.data yolo-obj.cfg yolo-obj_2000.weights

  • Also you can get result earlier than all 45000 iterations, for example, usually sufficient 2000 iterations for each class(object). I.e. for 6 classes to avoid overfitting - you can stop training after 12000 iterations and use yolo-obj_12000.weights to detection.

Custom object detection:

Example of custom object detection: darknet.exe detector test data/obj.data yolo-obj.cfg yolo-obj_3000.weights

How to mark bounded boxes of objects and create annotation files:

Here you can find repository with GUI-software for marking bounded boxes of objects and generating annotation files for Yolo v2: https://github.com/AlexeyAB/Yolo_mark

With example of: train.txt, obj.names, obj.data, yolo-obj.cfg, air1-6.txt, bird1-4.txt for 2 classes of objects (air, bird) and train_obj.cmd with example how to train this image-set with Yolo v2
