 For training Yolo based on other models ([DenseNet201-Yolo](https://github.com/AlexeyAB/darknet/blob/master/build/darknet/x64/densenet201_yolo.cfg) or [ResNet50-Yolo](https://github.com/AlexeyAB/darknet/blob/master/build/darknet/x64/resnet50_yolo.cfg)), you can download and get pre-trained weights as showed in this file: https://github.com/AlexeyAB/darknet/blob/master/build/darknet/x64/partial.cmd
 If you made you custom model that isn't based on other models, then you can train it without pre-trained weights, then will be used random initial weights.

 ## How to improve object detection:
 
 1. Before training:
-  * set flag `random=1` in your `.cfg`-file - it will increase precision by training Yolo for different resolutions: [link]https://github.com/AlexeyAB/darknet/blob/master/cfg/yolo-voc.2.0.cfg#L244)
+  * set flag `random=1` in your `.cfg`-file - it will increase precision by training Yolo for different resolutions: [link](https://github.com/AlexeyAB/darknet/blob/0039fd26786ab5f71d5af725fc18b3f521e7acfd/cfg/yolov3.cfg#L788)
 
   * increase network resolution in your `.cfg`-file (`height=608`, `width=608` or any value multiple of 32) - it will increase precision
 
-  * desirable that your training dataset include images with objects at diffrent: scales, rotations, lightings, from different sides
+  * recalculate anchors for your dataset for `width` and `height` from cfg-file:
+  `darknet.exe detector calc_anchors data/obj.data -num_of_clusters 9 -width 416 -height 416`
+   then set the same 9 `anchors` in each of 3 `[yolo]`-layers in your cfg-file
 
-  * desirable that your training dataset include images with objects (without labels) that you do not want to detect - negative samples
+  * desirable that your training dataset include images with objects at diffrent: scales, rotations, lightings, from different sides, on different backgrounds
+
+  * desirable that your training dataset include images with non-labeled objects that you do not want to detect - negative samples without bounded box (empty `.txt` files)
 
   * for training with a large number of objects in each image, add the parameter `max=200` or higher value in the last layer [region] in your cfg-file
   
-  * to speedup training (with decreasing detection accuracy) do Fine-Tuning instead of Transfer-Learning, set param `stopbackward=1` in one of the penultimate convolutional layers, for example here: https://github.com/AlexeyAB/darknet/blob/cad4d1618fee74471d335314cb77070fee951a42/cfg/yolo-voc.2.0.cfg#L202

 2. After training - for detection:
 
-  * Increase network-resolution by set in your `.cfg`-file (`height=608` and `width=608`) or (`height=832` and `width=832`) or (any value multiple of 32) - this increases the precision and makes it possible to detect small objects: [link](https://github.com/AlexeyAB/darknet/blob/master/cfg/yolo-voc.2.0.cfg#L4)

     * you do not need to train the network again, just use `.weights`-file already trained for 416x416 resolution
