FAQ

What does YOLO stand for?
YOLO stands for 'You Only Look Once', referring to its single‑network approach to object detection.
How fast is YOLO compared to other detectors?
YOLOv3 is about 4× faster than Focal Loss with comparable accuracy at 0.5 IOU, and over 1,000× faster than R‑CNN and 100× faster than Fast R‑CNN.
How does YOLO work?
A single neural network is applied to the full image. The image is divided into regions, and the network predicts bounding boxes and probabilities for each region. The final detections are weighted by confidence scores.
Can I trade off speed for accuracy?
Yes, you can easily trade off between speed and accuracy by changing the size of the model (e.g., YOLOv3‑320, YOLOv3‑416, YOLOv3‑608) without retraining.
How do I use a pre-trained YOLO model?
Clone the Darknet repository, run 'make' to compile, download the pre‑trained weight file (237 MB), and run './darknet detect cfg/yolov3.cfg yolov3.weights data/dog.jpg'.
