## Installation

Docker environment (recommended)
<details><summary> <b>Expand</b> </summary>

```
# create the docker container, you can change the share memory size if you have more.
nvidia-docker run --name yolov7 -it -v your_coco_path/:/coco/ -v your_code_path/:/yolov7 --shm-size=64g nvcr.io/nvidia/pytorch:21.08-py3

# apt install required packages
apt update
apt install -y zip htop screen libgl1-mesa-glx

# pip install required packages
pip install seaborn thop

# go to code folder
cd /yolov7
```

</details>

## Testing

[`yolov7.pt`]()

```
python test.py --data data/coco.yaml --img 640 --batch 32 --conf 0.001 --iou 0.65 --device 0 --weights yolov7.pt --name yolov7_640_val
```

You will get the results:

```
