Important

• The input images are directly resized to match the input size of the model. I skipped adding the pad to the input image, it might affect the accuracy of the model if the input image has a different aspect ratio compared to the input size of the model. Always try to get an input size with a ratio close to the input images you will use.

Requirements

• Check the requirements.txt file.
• For ONNX, if you have a NVIDIA GPU, then install the onnxruntime-gpu, otherwise use the onnxruntime library.

Installation

git clone https://github.com/ibaiGorordo/ONNX-YOLOv7-Object-Detection.git
cd ONNX-YOLOv7-Object-Detection
pip install -r requirements.txt

ONNX Runtime

For Nvidia GPU computers: pip install onnxruntime-gpu

Otherwise: pip install onnxruntime

ONNX model

The original models were converted to different formats (including .onnx) by PINTO0309. Download the models from his repository. For that, you can either run the download_single_batch.sh or copy the google drive link inside that script in your browser to manually download the file. Then, extract and copy the downloaded onnx models (for example yolov7-tiny_480x640.onnx) to your models directory, and fix the file name in the python scripts accordingly.

• The License of the models is GPL-3.0 license: License

Original YOLOv7 model

The original YOLOv7 model can be found in this repository: YOLOv7 Repository

• For Darknet style model, check the darknet branch
• For YOLOv5 compatible model, check the u5 branch

• Replace the yolov5_v6_path with the actual path to the YOLOv5 or YOLOv6 model.
• Convert YOLOv5 model to ONNX
• Convert YOLOv6 model to ONNX
