Quant LPYOLO

The configuration files of the lpyolo and other versions of yolo can be found under models/

The weight and activation quantization bitwidth can be modified in models/lpyolo_quant.yaml

Dataset configuration can be found under data/ The two relevant datasets to us are coco128 and VOC

Train

Training is done on coco128 dataset with these classes 0: person 1: bicycle 2: car 3: motorcycle 4: bus 5: train 6: truck

Train Unquantized

python3 train.py --img 640 --batch 64 --epochs 300 --data coco128.yaml --weights '' --cache --cfg models/lpyolo.yaml --classes 7

Finetune quantized model (QAT)

!python3 train.py --img 640 --batch 32 --epochs 50 --data coco128.yaml --weights /path/to/lpyolo.pt --cache --cfg models/lpyolo_quant.yaml --classes 7

Val

Validation can either be done on coco128 or VOC datasets

python3 val.py --weights /path/to/lpyolo.pt --cfg /path/to/cfg.yaml --data VOC.yaml --img 640 --half --classes 7

Detect

Detect with unquantized model

python3 detect.py --cfg models/lpyolo.yaml --weights /path/to/lpyolo.pt --img 640 --conf 0.25 --source /path/to/image

Detect with Quantized model

python3 detect.py --cfg models/lpyolo_quant.yaml --weights /path/to/lpyolo_quant.pt --img 640 --conf 0.25 --source /path/to/image

Saving the Model

python3 export_onnx.py --cfg models/lpyolo_quant.yaml --weights /path/to/lpyolo_quant.pt --classes 7 --output_path /to/output_path

The output will be the onnx model and the detect module pt file
