Training YOLOv3 : Deep Learning based Custom Object Detector

YOLOv3 is one of the most popular real-time object detectors in Computer Vision. In our previous post, we shared how to use YOLOv3 in an OpenCV application. It was very well received and many readers asked us to write a post on how to train YOLOv3 for new objects (i.e. In this step-by-step tutorial, we start with a simple case of how to train a 1-class object detector using YOLOv3. The tutorial is written with beginners in mind. Continuing with the spirit of the holidays, we will build our own snowman detector.
