YOLO Training Conclusion on Custom Dataset and FAQs

YOLO official website

Prepare dataset

You can google how to prepare your custom dataset. There are lots of tutorials available. I recommend this article.

My custom dataset has ~15k images and 3 classes. I just replace image files in VOC dataset /VOCdevkit with my custom images and run official python script to generate data YOLO needs. You can click the official website link above to find the script. It's easy to learn how to use it.

Compile

We need to modify Makefile before we make it.

GPU=1 # If you have a GPU, it will speed up the training process greatly.
CUDNN=1 # Using cudnn
OPENCV=0 # Using camera
OPENMP=0
DEBUG=0
...

Then, just make the source code.

Train

There are three files needing to be modified before training on custom dataset.

  • First, you just need to write class names in your dataset to data/voc.names. Of course, you can change the file name.
class A
class B
class C
...
  • Second, you need to modify cfg/voc.names. Just change it based on your custom dataset and file paths.
classes= 3
train  = <path to train file>/train.txt
valid  = <path to test file>/test.txt
names = data/voc.names
backup = backup
  • Before strating step 3, I recommend you to read this article to understand what parameters mean.
  • Third, the key step here. We need to modify yolo network configuration to meet our requirements for custom dataset. Read configuration below carefully. Here we give two examples, yolov2-tiny-voc.cfg and yolov3-voc.cfg, you can configure the network you like.

  • Now, we can run the training command. Here we train from scratch, you also can download pre-trained weights from YOLO official website above.
./darknet detector train cfg/voc.data cfg/yolov3-voc.cfg
  • In addition, you can read this article to understand outputs of YOLO.

Test

It's easy to test model trainde well. Just run command here.

./darknet detector test cfg/voc.data cfg/yolov3-voc.cfg backup/yolov3-voc_final.weights <path to testing image>

If you get no bounding box in predictions.jpg, you firstly need to check your cfg/yolov3-voc.cfg file. In fact, I forgot to uncomment testing configuration in .cfg file. And just modify it, you will get correct prediction results. If nothing changes, you need to think about whether your custom dataset correctly generated.

FAQs

1. Dimension mismatch when loading network model

Obviously, your network filters is incorrect. Go back to .cfg file and modify filters.

2. CUDA Out of Memory when loading data

You need to modify cfg/yolov3-voc.cfg. Increase subdivisions, or decrease batch.

3. Appearence of lots of nan when training.

First, check your data path and data whether is correct. If that is not ok, you should focus on learning_rate. Generally, you should decrease your learning_rate in .cfg file.

4. Training output obj=0.000000

It means that your network does not detect any object. Definately, it has some problems. You could tune learning_rate and batch in .cfg file. Generally, you should decrease the learning_rate or decrease the batch.

5. No bounding boxes when testing images

I also encountered the problem. Actually, it is a careless problem. Just go back to the .cfg file and uncomment testing configuration and comment training configuration.
