• Redefining the interface with a new naming style
• Suitable for compilation into a dynamic library to use

Use

Use on Windows

2. Download cuDNN and unpack files to hte 3rdparty directory
3. Open build/darknet.sln whith Visual Studio 2017
4. Set Release and x64
5. build darknet_gpu and test project
6. Download the yolov3-tiny.weights file to the test directory
7. Run the test

Use on Linux

git clone https://github.com/lc-soft/darknetlib.git
git submodule init
git submodule update
make
cd test
make

Todo

• Let darknet_detector_train() work fine.
• Friendly and standardized log output.
• Remove command line interaction code, like: getchar().
• Remove the strange system() call, like: system("echo ...")
• Refactor source code of the darknet, make it more suitable for use as a library, not a command line program. (very low priority)
