Table Notes
- From the perspective of model size and input image ratio, we have built a series of models on the mobile terminal to facilitate flexible applications in different scenarios.
- All checkpoints are trained with 400 epochs without distillation.
- Results of the mAP and speed are evaluated on COCO val2017 dataset, and the input resolution is the Size in the table.
- Speed is tested on MNN 2.3.0 AArch64 with 2 threads by arm82 acceleration. The inference warm-up is performed 10 times, and the cycle is performed 100 times.
- Qualcomm 888(sm8350), Dimensity 720(mt6853) and Qualcomm 660(sdm660) correspond to chips with different performances at the high, middle and low end respectively, which can be used as a reference for model capabilities under different chips.
- Refer to Test NCNN Speed tutorial to reproduce the NCNN speed results of YOLOv6Lite.

# P5 models

- conf: select config file to specify network/optimizer/hyperparameters. We recommend to apply yolov6n/s/m/l_finetune.py when training on your custom dataset.
- data: prepare dataset and specify dataset paths in data.yaml ( COCO, YOLO format coco labels )
- make sure your dataset structure as follows:
├── coco
│ ├── annotations
│ │ ├── instances_train2017.json
│ │ └── instances_val2017.json
│ ├── images
│ │ ├── train2017
│ │ └── val2017
│ ├── labels
│ │ ├── train2017
│ │ ├── val2017
│ ├── LICENSE
│ ├── README.txt
YOLOv6 supports different input resolution modes. For details, see How to Set the Input Size.
Resume training
If your training process is corrupted, you can resume training by
# single GPU training.
python tools/train.py --resume
# multi GPU training.
python -m torch.distributed.launch --nproc_per_node 8 tools/train.py --resume
Above command will automatically find the latest checkpoint in YOLOv6 directory, then resume the training process.
Your can also specify a checkpoint path to --resume parameter by
# remember to replace /path/to/your/checkpoint/path to the checkpoint path which you want to resume training.
--resume /path/to/your/checkpoint/path
This will resume from the specific checkpoint you provide.
Evaluation
Reproduce mAP on COCO val2017 dataset with 640×640 or 1280x1280 resolution
# P5 models
python tools/eval.py --data data/coco.yaml --batch 32 --weights yolov6s.pt --task val --reproduce_640_eval
# P6 models
python tools/eval.py --data data/coco.yaml --batch 32 --weights yolov6s6.pt --task val --reproduce_640_eval --img 1280- verbose: set True to print mAP of each classes.
- do_coco_metric: set True / False to enable / disable pycocotools evaluation method.
- do_pr_metric: set True / False to print or not to print the precision and recall metrics.
- config-file: specify a config file to define all the eval params, for example: yolov6n_with_eval_params.py
Inference
First, download a pretrained model from the YOLOv6 release or use your trained model to do inference.
Second, run inference with tools/infer.py
# P5 models
python tools/infer.py --weights yolov6s.pt --source img.jpg / imgdir / video.mp4
# P6 models
python tools/infer.py --weights yolov6s6.pt --img 1280 1280 --source img.jpg / imgdir / video.mp4If you want to inference on local camera or web camera, you can run:
# P5 models
python tools/infer.py --weights yolov6s.pt --webcam --webcam-addr 0
# P6 models
python tools/infer.py --weights yolov6s6.pt --img 1280 1280 --webcam --webcam-addr 0webcam-addr can be local camera number id or rtsp address.
