@PengyiZhang Hi, Greate work!

How can I use your pruned weights with the original Darknet? https://github.com/pjreddie/darknet

such command crushed with illegal memory error: ./darknet detector test data/drone.data prune_0.5_0.5_0.7.cfg prune_0.5_0.5_0.7_final.weights

I use these files:

• https://drive.google.com/open?id=1NRchetH5RaiPY0KSfAaDIy6t4DvnAVXr
• https://github.com/PengyiZhang/SlimYOLOv3/blob/master/cfg/3iter-pruned/prune_0.5_0.5_0.7.cfg

@AlexeyAB Hi, You can test as #3

The following command using original Darknet is supposed to work. ./darknet detector test data/drone.data prune_0.5_0.5_0.7.cfg prune_0.5_0.5_0.7_final.weights images/test.jpg

If it crushed when reading cfg file, copying the content in prune_0.5_0.5_0.7.cfg to a original cfg file (e.g., yolov3.cfg) might work (just replacing the content and renaming it). Such problem might be caused by the difference of text encoding format between Windows and Linux.

@PengyiZhang Yes, it works.

@AlexeyAB , is it possible to run sparsity.py from your yolov3-repo (darknet)?

@AlexeyAB Can you provide the weights you used? I am unable to open this link.
