Training YOLO v3 for Objects Detection with Custom Data

In this hands-on course, you'll train your own Object Detector using YOLO v3-v4 algorithm.

1. As for beginning, you’ll implement already trained YOLO v3-v4 on COCO dataset. You’ll detect objects on image, video and in real time by OpenCV deep learning library. Those code templates you can integrate later in your own future projects and use them for your own trained models.

2. After that, you’ll label own dataset as well as create custom one by extracting needed images from huge existing dataset.

3. Next, you’ll convert Traffic Signs dataset into YOLO format. Code templates for converting you can modify and apply for other datasets in your future work.

4. When datasets are ready, you’ll train and test YOLO v3-v4 Detectors in Darknet framework.

5. As for Bonus part, you’ll build graphical user interface for Object Detection by YOLO and by the help of PyQt. This project you can represent as your results to your supervisor or to make a presentation in front of classmates or even mention it in your resume.
