- follow the rest of the tutorial from [the hailo model zoo](https://github.com/hailo-ai/hailo_model_zoo/blob/master/docs/RETRAIN_ON_CUSTOM_DATASET.md) - `cd hailo_model_zoo` and continue the tutorial.
- Note, that for yolov5m, Hailo provides a configuration yaml which defines the quantization levels for the various networks. If you have a custom network
you will have to define your custom yaml file. I liked using [netron](https://github.com/lutzroeder/Netron) to visualize the network for that. Further Notes and Examples:
- Another example to compile the model is to run: `python hailo_model_zoo/main.py compile yolov5m --ckpt /files/my_dataset/best.onnx --calib-path /files/watt_dataset/dataset/dataset/images/ --yaml ./hailo_model_zoo/cfg/networks/yolov5m.yaml`
- note that here you're quantizing and compiling to HEF file. If you just want to quantize into a _har_ file, run `python hailo_model_zoo/main.py quantize yolov5m --ckpt /files/my_dataset/best.onnx --calib-path /files/my_dataset/dataset/dataset/images/ --yaml ./hailo_model_zoo/cfg/networks/yolov5m.yaml`, which yields the _.har_ representation of the file
- You have to provide a list of images for quantization (--calib-path)
- also provide a quantization scheme (--yaml), where hailo\_model\_zoo provides a variety
- **There's no real reason to not use _compile_ directly from what I know.**
- Note that the file locations in these examples are different to Hailos. These worked, while Hailo's didn't.
- follow the getting started guide from [hailo model zoo / GETTING STARTED](https://github.com/hailo-ai/hailo_model_zoo/blob/master/docs/GETTING_STARTED.md), specifically the
_optimizing_ and _compile_ steps if you want more information on quantization parameters and how to go on from there.
## run inference ## run inference
- this git repository includes a _inference.py_ file, which which loads a specified _.hef_ file. Change that to your _.hef_ file location.
- If you have anything other than yolov5m, you will have to change the pre/post-processing steps. Otherwise it won't work. Check out the Hailo Handler Class and go from there.
# Other Networks # Other Networks
- what other networks can I deploy on Hailo? - For yolov5m, Hailo provides a configuration yaml which defines the quantization levels for the various networks. If you have a custom network you will have to define your custom yaml file. I liked using [netron](https://github.com/lutzroeder/Netron) to visualize the network for that.
- Anything the hailo\_model\_zoo provides a configuration file for (under `hailo_odel_zoo/cfg/networks/`) can be easily trained and deployed using the process
described above.
- Also check out the [Hailo Tappas](https://hailo.ai/developer-zone/tappas-apps-toolkit/) which supply a variety of pre-trained _.hef_ files, which you can run
without having to compile anything.
