Testing

yolov7.pt yolov7x.pt yolov7-w6.pt yolov7-e6.pt yolov7-d6.pt yolov7-e6e.pt

python test.py --data data/coco.yaml --img 640 --batch 32 --conf 0.001 --iou 0.65 --device 0 --weights yolov7.pt --name yolov7_640_val

Training

Data preparation

bash scripts/get_coco.sh

• Download MS COCO dataset images (train, val, test) and labels. If you have previously used a different version of YOLO, we strongly recommend that you delete train2017.cache and val2017.cache files, and redownload labels
