零基础教程：使用yolov8训练无人机VisDrone数据集

1.准备数据集

1.先给出VisDrone2019数据集的下载地址：

链接：https://pan.baidu.com/s/1e2Q0NgNT-H-Acb2H0Cx8sg 
提取码：31dl

2.将数据集VisDrone放在datasets目录下面

2.数据集转换程序

1.在根目录下面新建一个.py文件，取名叫做visdrone2yolov

2.复制以下代码到这个visdrone2yolov.py文件里面

import os
from pathlib import Path

def visdrone2yolo(dir):
    from PIL import Image
    from tqdm import tqdm

    def convert_box(size, box):
        # Convert VisDrone box to YOLO xywh box
        dw = 1. / size[0]
        dh = 1. / size[1]
        return (box[0] + box[2] / 2) * dw, (box[1] + box[3] / 2) * dh, box[2] * dw, box[3] * dh

    (dir / 'labels').mkdir(parents=True, exist_ok=True)  # make labels directory
    pbar = tqdm((dir / 'annotations').glob('*.txt'), desc=f'Converting {dir}')
    for f in pbar:
        img_size = Image.open((dir / 'images' / f.name).with_suffix('.jpg')).size
        lines = []
        with open(f, 'r') as file:  # read annotation.txt
            for row in [x.split(',') for x in file.read().strip().splitlines()]:
                if row[4] == '0':  # VisDrone 'ignored regions' class 0
                    continue
                cls = int(row[5]) - 1  # 类别号-1
                box = convert_box(img_size, tuple(map(int, row[:4])))
                lines.append(f"{cls} {' '.join(f'{x:.6f}' for x in box)}\n")
                with open(str(f).replace(os.sep + 'annotations' + os.sep, os.sep + 'labels' + os.sep), 'w') as fl:
                    fl.writelines(lines)  # write label.txt
dir = Path('datasets/VisDrone')  # datasets文件夹下Visdrone2019文件夹目录
# Convert
for d in 'VisDrone2019-DET-train', 'VisDrone2019-DET-val', 'VisDrone2019-DET-test-dev':
    visdrone2yolo(dir / d)  # convert VisDrone annotations to YOLO labels

3.代码中可能需要修改的地方

将dir的值换成VisDrone数据集的相对路径

然后运行这个程序。

4.数据集转换完毕

转换之后的数据集结构如下：

3.准备配置(yaml)文件

1.复制VisDrone到同级文件夹，取名叫myVisDrone.yaml

2.配置文件的具体信息如下：

# Ultralytics YOLO 🚀, AGPL-3.0 license
# VisDrone2019-DET dataset https://github.com/VisDrone/VisDrone-Dataset by Tianjin University
# Example usage: yolo train data=VisDrone.yaml
# parent
# ├── ultralytics
# └── datasets
#     └── VisDrone  ← downloads here (2.3 GB)


# Train/val/test sets as 1) dir: path/to/imgs, 2) file: path/to/imgs.txt, or 3) list: [path/to/imgs1, path/to/imgs2, ..]
path: ../datasets/VisDrone  # dataset root dir
train: VisDrone2019-DET-train/images  # train images (relative to 'path')  6471 images
val: VisDrone2019-DET-val/images  # val images (relative to 'path')  548 images
test: VisDrone2019-DET-test-dev/images  # test images (optional)  1610 images

# Classes
names:
  0: pedestrian
  1: people
  2: bicycle
  3: car
  4: van
  5: truck
  6: tricycle
  7: awning-tricycle
  8: bus
  9: motor

4.开始训练

1.使用yolov8s.pt进行训练

1.复制如下代码打开Terminal粘贴之后开始训练

yolo train model=yolov8s.pt data=ultralytics/cfg/datasets/myVisDrone.yaml batch=4 epochs=100 lr0=0.01

2.训练过程中遇到如下报错：OMP: Error #15: Initializing libiomp5md.dll, but found libiomp5md.dll already initialized.

可能是因为进程占用的原因，重启电脑之后解决，顺利训练。

开始训练

3.网络未改进之前使用yolov8s.pt训练的效果

尝试了一下，不使用预训练权重开始训练，发现还是会默认使用yolov8n.pt

yolov8s训练最好的效果(所有标签) ：map 0.412

2.使用yolov8l.pt进行训练

yolo train model=yolov8l.pt data=ultralytics/cfg/datasets/myVisDrone.yaml batch=4 epochs=100 lr0=0.01

训练效果
