Just a quick heads-up that Joseph Redmon isn't working on the development on Darknet any longer, and the YOLO fork by AlexeyAB [0] (now on YOLOv4) is one people should also consider using moving forward[1].

- eggy 6y agoYes, I have been following darknet for a while now. I haven't tried YOLOv4 yet. Any comments on what SOD brings to the table in comparison to darknet?
- qchris 6y agoHonestly, I'm not sure. It seems like they cover slightly different fields, despite having some overlap. AFAIK, Darknet doesn't natively do a bunch of the image processing work that Sod can do, like edge detection with Canny, because if you wanted that, you'd just use OpenCV. I'd imagine that based on the licensing, this is probably closer to the open-sourcing (well, sort of, since the commercial applications and GPU training requires a paid license) of an internal tool that the company is using on the backend of their own API-driven machine learning business. So, it covers some things that Darknet isn't really designed to do, since real-time object detection isn't the main area they're really interested in.
- eggy 6y agoReal-time object detection is what YOLO does and darknet implements it, but I see where you are going with the edge detection in SOD vs. darknet. You add in OpenCV if you want to use it.
