Deep-SORT-YOLOv4

Deep SORT and YOLO v4 for people tracking and detection with Tensorflow backend.

With asynchronous processing

As you can see in the gif, asynchronous processing has better FPS but causes stuttering.

This code only detects and tracks people, but can be changed to detect other objects by changing lines 101 and 102 in yolo.py:

if predicted_class != 'person':
    continue

Please note that Deep SORT is only trained on tracking people, so you'd need to train a model yourself for tracking other objects.

Performance

Real-time FPS with video writing:

• ~4.3fps with YOLO v3
• ~10.6fps with YOLO v4

YOLO v4 performs much faster and appears to be more stable than YOLO v3. All tests were done using an Nvidia GTX 1070 8gb GPU
and an i7-8700k CPU.

Quick start

Download and convert the Darknet YOLO v4 model to a Keras model by modifying convert.py accordingly and run:

python convert.py

Then run demo.py:

python demo.py

Settings

By default, video writing is turned on and asynchronous processing is turned off. These can be edited in demo.py by changing:

writeVideo_flag = True
asyncVideo_flag = False

To change target file in demo.py:

file_path = 'video.webm'

To change output settings in demo.py:

out = cv2.VideoWriter('output_yolov4.avi', fourcc, 30, (w, h))
