How to Train YOLOX On a Custom Dataset

YOLOX is a cutting-edge object detection model from the YOLO family that enhances model accuracy and training speed by eliminating box anchors and decoupling the detection head into separate feature channels. This tutorial demonstrates the process of training YOLOX on a custom dataset using the Roboflow platform, which facilitates data management, annotation, and conversion into various formats. By utilizing pre-trained weights, YOLOX significantly reduces training time, achieving high Average Precision (AP) benchmarks against datasets like Microsoft COCO. The tutorial covers setting up the development environment, downloading and preprocessing data, training, and evaluating the model, and finally running inference on test images, showcasing YOLOX's efficiency and effectiveness for object detection tasks on edge devices.
