Yolov7 + StrongSORT with OSNet

Introduction

This repository contains a highly configurable two-stage-tracker that adjusts to different deployment scenarios. The detections generated by YOLOv7, a family of object detection architectures and models pretrained on the COCO dataset, are passed to StrongSORT which combines motion and appearance information based on OSNet in order to tracks the objects. It can track any object that your Yolov7 model was trained to detect.

Before you run the tracker

1. Clone the repository recursively:

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/mikel-brostrom/Yolov7_StrongSORT_OSNet.git

If you already cloned and forgot to use --recurse-submodules you can run git submodule update --init

2. Make sure that you fulfill all the requirements: Python 3.8 or later with all requirements.txt dependencies installed, including torch>=1.7. To install, run:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Tracking sources

Tracking can be run on most video formats

$ python track.py --source 0  # webcam
                           img.jpg  # image
                           vid.mp4  # video
                           path/  # directory
                           path/*.jpg  # glob
                           'https://youtu.be/Zgi9g1ksQHc'  # YouTube
                           'rtsp://example.com/media.mp4'  # RTSP, RTMP, HTTP stream

Select object detection and ReID model

Yolov7

There is a clear trade-off between model inference speed and accuracy. In order to make it possible to fulfill your inference speed/accuracy needs you can select a Yolov7 family model for automatic download

$ python track.py --source 0 --yolo-weights yolov7.pt --img 640
                                            yolov7x.pt --img 640
                                            yolov7-e6e.pt --img 1280
                                            ...

StrongSORT

The above applies to StrongSORT models as well. Choose a ReID model based on your needs from this ReID model zoo

$ python track.py --source 0 --strong-sort-weights osnet_x0_25_market1501.pt
                                                   osnet_x0_5_market1501.pt
                                                   osnet_x0_75_msmt17.pt
                                                   osnet_x1_0_msmt17.pt
                                                   ...

Filter tracked classes

By default the tracker tracks all MS COCO classes.

If you want to track a subset of the MS COCO classes, add their corresponding index after the classes flag

python track.py --source 0 --yolo-weights yolov7.pt --classes 16 17  # tracks cats and dogs, only

Here is a list of all the possible objects that a Yolov7 model trained on MS COCO can detect. Notice that the indexing for the classes in this repo starts at zero.

MOT compliant results

Can be saved to your experiment folder runs/track/<yolo_model>_<deep_sort_model>/ by

python track.py --source ... --save-txt
