Compile YOLO-V2 and YOLO-V3 in DarkNet Models

Author: Siju Samuel

This article is an introductory tutorial to deploy darknet models with TVM. All the required models and libraries will be downloaded from the internet by the script. This script runs the YOLO-V2 and YOLO-V3 Model with the bounding boxes Darknet parsing have dependancy with CFFI and CV2 library Please install CFFI and CV2 before executing this script

pip install cffi
pip install opencv-python

Choose the model

Models are: ‘yolov2’, ‘yolov3’ or ‘yolov3-tiny’

# Model name
MODEL_NAME = "yolov3"

Download required files

Download cfg and weights file if first time.

CFG_NAME = MODEL_NAME + ".cfg"
WEIGHTS_NAME = MODEL_NAME + ".weights"
REPO_URL = "https://github.com/dmlc/web-data/blob/main/darknet/"
CFG_URL = REPO_URL + "cfg/" + CFG_NAME + "?raw=true"
WEIGHTS_URL = "https://pjreddie.com/media/files/" + WEIGHTS_NAME

cfg_path = download_testdata(CFG_URL, CFG_NAME, module="darknet")
weights_path = download_testdata(WEIGHTS_URL, WEIGHTS_NAME, module="darknet")

# Download and Load darknet library
if sys.platform in ["linux", "linux2"]:
    DARKNET_LIB = "libdarknet2.0.so"

else:
    err = "Darknet lib is not supported on {} platform".format(sys.platform)
    raise NotImplementedError(err)

DARKNET_LIB = __darknetffi__.dlopen(lib_path)
net = DARKNET_LIB.load_network(cfg_path.encode("utf-8"), weights_path.encode("utf-8"), 0)

batch_size = 1

data = np.empty([batch_size, net.c, net.h, net.w], dtype)
shape_dict = {"data": data.shape}
print("Converting darknet to relay functions...")
mod, params = relay.frontend.from_darknet(net, dtype=dtype, shape=data.shape)

Converting darknet to relay functions...

Import the graph to Relay

compile the model

target = tvm.target.Target("llvm", host="llvm")
dev = tvm.cpu(0)
data = np.empty([batch_size, net.c, net.h, net.w], dtype)
shape = {"data": data.shape}
print("Compiling the model...")
with tvm.transform.PassContext(opt_level=3):
    lib = relay.build(mod, target=target, params=params)

[neth, netw] = shape["data"][2:]  # Current image shape is 608x608

Compiling the model...

Load a test image

test_image = "dog.jpg"
print("Loading the test image...")
img_url = REPO_URL + "data/" + test_image + "?raw=true"
img_path = download_testdata(img_url, test_image, "data")

data = tvm.relay.testing.darknet.load_image(img_path, netw, neth)

Loading the test image...

Execute on TVM Runtime

The process is no different from other examples.
