train dataset: VOC 2012 + VOC 2007
test dataset: VOC 2007
test size: 544
test code: Faster rcnn (not use 07 metric)
test score threshold: 0.01

1. clone YOLO_v3 repository

   git clone https://github.com/qq751220449/yolov3_tensorflow_python3.git

2. prepare data
   (1) prepare datasets
   

   cd utils
   python voc.py

3. prepare initial weights
   Download darknet53_448.weights firstly, put the initial weights into darknet2tf/, and then

   cd darknet2tf
   python3 convert_weights.py --weights_file=darknet53_448.weights --data_format=NHWC

4. train
   

   nohup python train.py &

5. test
   Download weight file stronger-yolo-v2-test.ckpt
   If you want to get a higher mAP, you can set the score threshold to 0.01、use multi scale test、flip test.
   If you want to use it in actual projects, or if you want speed, you can set the score threshold to 0.2.
   

   nohup python test.py --gpu=0 --test_weight=model_path.ckpt -t07 &
