YOLOS (small-sized) model

The original YOLOS model was fine-tuned on COCO 2017 object detection (118k annotated images). It was introduced in the paper You Only Look at One Sequence: Rethinking Transformer in Vision through Object Detection by Fang et al. and first released in this repository . This model was further fine-tuned on the license plate dataset from Kaggle. The dataset consists of 735 images of annotations categorised as "vehicle" and "license-plate". The model was trained for 200 epochs on a single GPU using Google Colab

Model description

YOLOS is a Vision Transformer (ViT) trained using the DETR loss. Despite its simplicity, a base-sized YOLOS model is able to achieve 42 AP on COCO validation 2017 (similar to DETR and more complex frameworks such as Faster R-CNN).

Intended uses & limitations

You can use the raw model for object detection. See the model hub to look for all available YOLOS models.

How to use

Here is how to use this model:

from transformers import YolosFeatureExtractor, YolosForObjectDetection
from PIL import Image
import requests

url = 'https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1p9wJIqRz3W50e2f_A0D8ftla8hoXz4T5'
image = Image.open(requests.get(url, stream=True).raw)
feature_extractor = YolosFeatureExtractor.from_pretrained('nickmuchi/yolos-small-rego-plates-detection')
model = YolosForObjectDetection.from_pretrained('nickmuchi/yolos-small-rego-plates-detection')
inputs = feature_extractor(images=image, return_tensors="pt")
outputs = model(**inputs)

# model predicts bounding boxes and corresponding face mask detection classes
logits = outputs.logits
bboxes = outputs.pred_boxes

Currently, both the feature extractor and model support PyTorch.

Training data

The YOLOS model was pre-trained on ImageNet-1k and fine-tuned on COCO 2017 object detection , a dataset consisting of 118k/5k annotated images for training/validation respectively.

Training

This model was fine-tuned for 200 epochs on the license plate dataset .

Evaluation results
