Example of performing inference with ultralytics YOLO V5, OpenCV 4.5.4 DNN, C++ and Python

Looking for YOLO V4 OpenCV C++/Python inference? Check this repository

Prerequisites

Make sure you have already on your system:

Any modern Linux OS (tested on Ubuntu 20.04)
OpenCV 4.5.4+
Python 3.7+ (only if you are intended to run the python program)
GCC 9.0+ (only if you are intended to run the C++ program)

IMPORTANT!!! Note that OpenCV versions prior to 4.5.4 will not work at all.

Running the python script

The python code is here.

git clone https://github.com/doleron/yolov5-opencv-cpp-python.git
cd yolov5-opencv-cpp-python
python python/yolo.py

If your machine/OpenCV install are CUDA capable you can try out running using the GPU:

git clone https://github.com/doleron/yolov5-opencv-cpp-python.git
cd yolov5-opencv-cpp-python
python python/yolo.py cuda

Running the C++ program

The C++ code is here.

git clone https://github.com/doleron/yolov5-opencv-cpp-python.git
cd yolov5-opencv-cpp-python
g++ -O3 cpp/yolo.cpp -o yolo_example `pkg-config --cflags --libs opencv4`
./yolo_example

Or using CUDA if available:

git clone https://github.com/doleron/yolov5-opencv-cpp-python.git
cd yolov5-opencv-cpp-python
g++ -O3 cpp/yolo.cpp -o yolo_example `pkg-config --cflags --libs opencv4`
./yolo_example cuda

Which YOLO version should I use?

This repository uses YOLO V5 but it is not the only YOLO version out there. You can read this article to learn more about YOLO versions and choose the more suitable one for you.

Exporting yolo v5 models to .onnx format

Check here: https://github.com/ultralytics/yolov5/issues/251

My commands were:

git clone https://github.com/ultralytics/yolov5
cd yolov5
pip install -r requirements.txt

And then to convert the model:

$ python3 export.py --weights yolov5n.pt --img 640 --include onnx
export: data=data/coco128.yaml, weights=['yolov5n.pt'], imgsz=[640], batch_size=1, device=cpu, half=False, inplace=False, train=False, optimize=False, int8=False, dynamic=False, simplify=False, opset=12, verbose=False, workspace=4, nms=False, agnostic_nms=False, topk_per_class=100, topk_all=100, iou_thres=0.45, conf_thres=0.25, include=['onnx']

We can't record the data flow of Python values, so this value will be treated as a constant in the future. This means that the trace might not generalize to other inputs!

Detect with `python detect.py --weights yolov5n.onnx` or `model = torch.hub.load('ultralytics/yolov5', 'custom', 'yolov5n.onnx')
Validate with `python val.py --weights yolov5n.onnx`

throubleshooting

First time I got a error with protobuf version:

"AttributeError: module 'google.protobuf.descriptor' has no attribute '_internal_create_key"?

I fixed it by running:

pip install --upgrade protobuf
