Quantization Aware Training Implementation of YOLOv8 without DFL using PyTorch

Installation

Execute the command:

conda create -n YOLO python=3.8
conda activate YOLO
conda install pytorch==1.13.1 torchvision==0.14.1 torchaudio==0.13.1 pytorch-cuda=11.7 -c pytorch -c nvidia
pip install opencv-python==4.5.5.64
pip install PyYAML
pip install tqdm

or

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Train

• Configure your dataset path in main.py for training
• Run bash main.sh $ --train for training, $ is number of GPUs

Test

• Configure your dataset path in main.py for testing
• Run python main.py --test for testing
