darkflow YOLOv3 support

https://pjreddie.com/darknet/yolo/

Can I use YOLOv3 cfg/weights with darkflow correctly?

Just tested, not working. Parsing ./cfg/yolov3.cfg Layer [shortcut] not implemented Hope it will be added soon!

Mar 26 '18 05:03 SkullPirateTK

yes, tested and got same a problem!

If you read the official yolov3-voc.cfg, you will see the CNN is more big, and that is actually related to the code, obviously, the code need to be rewrote for a new CNN.

Thanks for bringing this up.

I'll try to do minor refactoring gradually, so that the code is easier to read & extend for contributors. I admit after a while not looking at it I'm kind of lost.

YOLO v3 savepb Layer [shortcut] not implemented

Hey @thtrieu, Is this supported yet? Or does this still need to be implemented? Great work on the repo anyway!

Highly expected.

Here, someone has implemented yolov3 in tensorflow. https://github.com/mystic123/tensorflow-yolo-v3

Hi @LucasMahieu ! This implementation is only for testing, not for trainig. I've found this: https://github.com/raytroop/YOLOv3_tf but I haven't tried yet

Hi @ambr89, Thanks for the link, I will try it. It would be nicer if Yolov3 was supported in darkflow...

Jun 08 '18 09:06 LucasMahieu

I know, at the moment I'm trying to translate from darknet to darflow the missing layer and new loss function, but it isn't easy !!!

Jun 08 '18 09:06 ambr89

Great ! Which layer is not easy ? You may need some help ?

Jun 08 '18 10:06 LucasMahieu

At the moment, I'm trying to reproduce loss function. The upsample layer I hope I did well, but while I haven't finisched I don't know if work.

Jun 08 '18 10:06 ambr89

@ambr89 I can help you with the translation , I have already translated the 3 new darknet layers to darkflow (need to look for the project cause it's been a while) , contact me if you want to colaborate ! cheers

@ambr89, @bendidi, @LucasMahieu have you agreed on what is needed to do next? Do you have a list of milestones we could help with?

Jun 15 '18 05:06 slothkong

Hi everybody! At the moment, I'm using this project It isn't darkflow but it's quite similar.

Jun 15 '18 07:06 ambr89

Do you think it will be add in darflow ? Actually, I don't understand why yolov3 could not be supported directly in darkflow ?

Jun 15 '18 08:06 LucasMahieu

Still not working

Layer [shortcut] not implemented

Still not working...

Parsing ./cfg/yolo.cfg Layer [shortcut] not implemented

Maybe the support of tiny yolo v3 would be a good beginning. The shortcut layer is not used in Yolov3-tiny.

So, supporting yolov3 tiny is only question of upsampling layer (which can be implemented with a Resize Nearest Neighbor in tensorflow).

@ambr89 did you succeeded to run tiny yolo v3 with darkflow ?

Jul 24 '18 14:07 LucasMahieu

What about this project: https://github.com/qqwweee/keras-yolo3

It uses Keras with TF backend. But not sure whether it can be used to train with my own classes. Lots of work,, it seems :)

Hi, I'm using https://github.com/mystic123/tensorflow-yolo-v3 and I'm getting different output formats. Does anyone know if there's any implementation yet of Darkflow that supports Yolov3?

@thtrieu hi guys,have you refactoring it,does it work for yolov3,i am wondering for it,ths

@LucasMahieu it's seems not work for AS demo

Parsing yolov3-tiny.cfg Layer [yolo] not implemented no ,it didn't work

For those wanting to convert Yolo-v3 from Darknet to TensorFlow:

Yolo-v3 support was recently added to DW2TF (see this PR).

Worth noting that unlike Darkflow which is also a runtime env for training/inference, DW2TF can only convert a Darknet model & weights to TensorFlow. Running training/inference on it would then be up to the user.

Are people still trying to chip away at v3 support, or has this gone cold?

Last commit was 11 months ago 🤔

@thtrieu

@thtrieu any update on this? is this issue resolved?

Layer [shortcut] not implemented

I still get the same error

Hi everybody!

I've translate yolov3 from .ckpt to .pb and from .pb to .tflite

I've use keras, something like this https://github.com/qqwweee/keras-yolo3

Hi Sir, Still waiting for that update. Have to use darknet and thats a bit difficult for windows users.

Jul 15 '19 11:07 fadi212

Any update on this? still waiting for v3 support.
