darknet-ros-fp16

darknet_ros + ROS2 Humble + OpenCV4 + CUDA 11 + CUDNN (FP16) 🔥🔥🔥


Update

  • May 1st 2022 Update
    • Support Ampere arch (including Jetson Orin)
  • July 23th 2022 Update
    • Support YOLOv7-tiny

Main changes

  • Support for YOLO v7 : Switched the submodule to the master branch of AlexeyAB/darknet.
  • Removed IPL : Switched from IPL to CV::Mat for OpenCV4 support.
  • Support cuDNN + FP16

Requirements

  • ROS2 (tested on Humble)
  • CUDA10 or later
    • If not, it will automatically turn off
  • OpenCV
  • v4l2-camera (Connect to /dev/video*)
  • NVIDIA Graphics Card (Volta , Turing , Ampere)
  • xhost (To install xhost , run $ sudo apt install xorg .)
  • cuDNN (Ubuntu 20.04)

Installation 🐢

Installation

$ sudo apt install ros-humble-desktop ros-humble-v4l2-camera
$ source /opt/ros/humble/setup.bash
$ mkdir -p ~/ros2_ws/src
$ cd ~/ros2_ws/src
$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/Ar-Ray-code/darknet_ros_yolov4.git
$ darknet_ros_yolov4/darknet_ros/rm_darknet_CMakeLists.sh
$ cd ~/ros2_ws
$ colcon build --symlink-install

NVIDIA-Docker

  • Driver version : 515.65.01
  • NVIDIA Docker2
  • NVIDIA Graphics card (Tested : RTX3060Ti)
git clone https://github.com/Ar-Ray-code/darknet_ros_fp16.git
docker build -t darknet_ros_fp16 ./darknet_ros_fp16/.

# connect webcamera
docker run --rm -it --device /dev/video0:/dev/video0:mwr -e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY --gpus all -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix darknet_ros_fp16 /bin/bash

Edit CMakeLists.txt

Options

When each option is turned off, the respective compile option will be disabled. This item is for benchmarking purposes, as it will be automatically disabled if the required libraries are not installed.

set(CUDA_ENABLE ON)
set(CUDNN_ENABLE ON)
set(FP16_ENABLE ON)

cuDNN (FP16)

Darknet can be made even faster by enabling CUDNN_HALF(FP16), but you need to specify the appropriate architecture.

FP16 is automatically enabled for GPUs of the Turing or Ampere architecture if the appropriate cuDNN is installed. To disable it, change line 12 to set(FP16_ENABLE OFF).

The Jetson AGX Xavier and TITAN V support FP16, but due to their Volta architecture, auto-detection is not possible. (Sorry... :( )

In that case, please comment out line 17 set(CMAKE_CUDA_ARCHITECTURES 72)

Download darknet weights

Since the weights to be downloaded are large, you can select the weights to be downloaded by the options.

set(DOWNLOAD_YOLOV2_TINY ON)　 # default : on
set(DOWNLOAD_YOLOV3 OFF)       # default : off
set(DOWNLOAD_YOLOV4 ON)      　# default : on
set(DOWNLOAD_YOLOV4_CSP OFF) 　# default : off
set(DOWNLOAD_YOLOV4_TINY OFF)  # default : on
set(DOWNLOAD_YOLOV4_MISH OFF)　# default : off
set(DOWNLOAD_YOLOV7_TINY ON)　 # default : on

Demo

Connect your webcam to your PC.

$ source /opt/ros/humble/setup.bash
$ source ~/ros2_ws/install/local_setup.bash
$ ros2 launch darknet_ros demo-v4-tiny.launch.py

Performance

Using YOLO v4 consumes a lot of GPU memory and lowers the frame rate, so you need to pay attention to your PC specs.

Test Machine

Topics Spec
CPU Intel Core i9 12900KF
RAM 64GB DDR4
GPU NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti (GDDR6 11GB)
Driver 495.29.05

Performance (using cuDNN FP16)

YOLO v4 : 48fps

Scaled YOLO v4 : 80fps

YOLO v4-tiny : 215fps

YOLO v4x-mish : 32fps

YOLO v2-tiny : 205fps (Min : 24fps)

YOLOv7-tiny : 160fps (cudnn_half = 0)

Note : YOLOv2-tiny is deprecated.

Acknowledgment

I am not a good programmer, but I was able to implement it with the help of many repositories. Thank you to AlexeyAB's darknet , legged robotics's darknet_ros, and Tossy0423's darknet_ros !
