Tool/software:

Hello TI Developers.
I am researching PROCESSOR-SDK-AM69A, and I have my custom YoloV5 object detection model, as for now, SiLU activation function is not supported and need to be changed to ReLU activation function.
However in my case, ReLU activation function is not working well because of accuracy drop quite a bit. Do you have any suggestion or idea on what activation function can I use beside ReLU? if I changed to Sigmoid function, is it possible ?
Thank you for your time, and looking forward for your response.

Hi,

We have replaced the silu with relu for our usecase, you may want to refer the TIs patch on top of mmyolo repos to generate/analyze open source models.

The commit id of mmyolo (https://github.com/open-mmlab/mmyolo) for this explanation is: 8c4d9dc503dc8e327bec8147e8dc97124052f693

This patch file includes above modification in train.py and other modifications in val.py, prototxt export etc.

Hello Praktik Kedar.
Thank you for your response.
I will try to read and research from provided documentation.
However, as an introduction questions, can you guarantee that YoloV8 will work on Processor SDK AM69A ? Can I generate artifacts files for either YoloV5 or Yolov8 (if it work) for SDK version 10.0.0 Processor SDK Linux AM69A using provided documentation ?
Thank you before and looking forward for your response.

Hi Bill,

Yes YoloV8 is supported on latest sdk 10.0.

Please do due diligence of above shared patches and try importing the models, they should work.

Closing the thread now.
