## Notice

We recommend that everyone **use English to communicate on issues**, as this helps developers from around the world discuss, share experiences, and answer questions together.

## 🔥 Updates 
`[2024-3-28]:` We provide: (1) more high-resolution pre-trained models (e.g., S, M, X) ([#142](https://github.com/AILab-CVC/YOLO-World/issues/142)); (2) pre-trained models with CLIP-Large text encoders. Most importantly, we preliminarily fix the **fine-tuning without `mask-refine`** and explore a new fine-tuning setting ([#160](https://github.com/AILab-CVC/YOLO-World/issues/160),[#76](https://github.com/AILab-CVC/YOLO-World/issues/76)).

## Highlights & Introduction

This repo contains the PyTorch implementation, pre-trained weights, and pre-training/fine-tuning code for YOLO-World.

* YOLO-World is pre-trained on large-scale datasets, including detection, grounding, and image-text datasets.

* YOLO-World is the next-generation YOLO detector, with a strong open-vocabulary detection capability and grounding ability.

* YOLO-World presents a *prompt-then-detect* paradigm for efficient user-vocabulary inference, which re-parameterizes vocabulary embeddings as parameters into the model and achieve superior inference speed. You can try to export your own detection model without extra training or fine-tuning in our [online demo](https://huggingface.co/spaces/stevengrove/YOLO-World)!

## Model Zoo

We've pre-trained YOLO-World-S/M/L from scratch and evaluate on the `LVIS val-1.0` and `LVIS minival`. We provide the pre-trained model weights and training logs for applications/research or re-producing the results.

## Getting started

### 1. Installation

YOLO-World is developed based on `torch==1.11.0` `mmyolo==0.6.0` and `mmdetection==3.0.0`.

#### Clone Project 

```bash
git clone --recursive https://github.com/AILab-CVC/YOLO-World.git
```
#### Install

```bash
pip install torch wheel -q
pip install -e .
```

### 2. Preparing Data

We provide the details about the pre-training data in [docs/data](./docs/data.md).


## Training & Evaluation

We adopt the default [training](./tools/train.py) or [evaluation](./tools/test.py) scripts of [mmyolo](https://github.com/open-mmlab/mmyolo).
We provide the configs for pre-training and fine-tuning in `configs/pretrain` and `configs/finetune_coco`.
Training YOLO-World is easy:

```bash
chmod +x tools/dist_train.sh
# sample command for pre-training, use AMP for mixed-precision training
./tools/dist_train.sh configs/pretrain/yolo_world_l_t2i_bn_2e-4_100e_4x8gpus_obj365v1_goldg_train_lvis_minival.py 8 --amp
```
**NOTE:** YOLO-World is pre-trained on 4 nodes with 8 GPUs per node (32 GPUs in total). For pre-training, the `node_rank` and `nnodes` for multi-node training should be specified. 

Evaluating YOLO-World is also easy:

```bash
chmod +x tools/dist_test.sh
./tools/dist_test.sh path/to/config path/to/weights 8
```

**NOTE:** We mainly evaluate the performance on LVIS-minival for pre-training.

## Fine-tuning YOLO-World

We provide the details about fine-tuning YOLO-World in [docs/fine-tuning](./docs/finetuning.md).

## Deployment

We provide the details about deployment for downstream applications in [docs/deployment](./docs/deploy.md).
You can directly download the ONNX model through the online [demo](https://huggingface.co/spaces/stevengrove/YOLO-World) in Huggingface Spaces 🤗.

## Demo

### Gradio Demo

We provide the [Gradio](https://www.gradio.app/) demo for local devices:

```bash
pip install gradio==4.16.0
python demo.py path/to/config path/to/weights
```

Additionaly, you can use a Dockerfile to build an image with gradio. As a prerequisite, make sure you have respective drivers installed alongside [nvidia-container-runtime](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/59691207/docker-build-with-nvidia-runtime). Replace MODEL_NAME and WEIGHT_NAME with the respective values or ommit this and use default values from the [Dockerfile](Dockerfile#3)

```bash
docker build --build-arg="MODEL=MODEL_NAME" --build-arg="WEIGHT=WEIGHT_NAME" -t yolo_demo .
docker run --runtime nvidia -p 8080:8080
```

### Image Demo

We provide a simple image demo for inference on images with visualization outputs.

```bash
python image_demo.py path/to/config path/to/weights image/path/directory 'person,dog,cat' --topk 100 --threshold 0.005 --output-dir demo_outputs
```

**Notes:**
* The `image` can be a directory or a single image.
* The `texts` can be a string of categories (noun phrases) which is separated by a comma. We also support `txt` file in which each line contains a category ( noun phrases).
* The `topk` and `threshold` control the number of predictions and the confidence threshold.
