• Filter classes to visualize during inference using the --classes command line argument with space separated class indices from the dataset YAML file.

  For example, to visualize only persons in COCO dataset, use, python inference.py --classes 1 <rest of the command>

  To visualize person and car, use, python inference.py --classes 1 3 <rest of the command>

• Added Deep SORT Real-Time tracking to inference_video.py and onnx_video_inference.py. Using --track command with the usual inference command. Support for MobileNet Re-ID for now.

• New DenseNet backbones.
• Mosaic augmentation updated to be Ultralytics/YOLOv5/YOLOv8 like.
• Updated augmentations regime for better training results

2022-10-02

• Released a Mini Darknet Nano Head model pretrained on the Pascal VOC model for 600 epochs. Find the release details here.

• Can load COCO/Pascal VOC pretrained weights for transfer learning/fine tuning using the --weights flag and providing the path to the weights file.
• Resume training by providing the path to the previous trained weights using the --weights flag and --resume-training flag to continue from previous plots and load the optimizer state dictionary as well. Here, --weights will take the path to the last_model.pth and not best_model.pth or last_model_state.pth. The latter two models store the model weights dictionary only.
• Weights and Biases logging possible now.
• Default training resolution now 640x640. Provides slightly better results.
