Pre-trained ResNet50 as backbone of YOLOv8

[SaraDadjouy]

Hello! I want to do an object detection task and read this Efficient Object Detection with YOLOV8 and KerasCV.

I have a pre-trained ResNet50 model and want to use it as the backbone with YOLOv8Detector. But I'm not sure if it is even possible. Would you please help me with this on how can I do this?

I'm not sure if you can use ResNet50 as backbone for YOLOv8Detector.

Probably you can give it a try by providing ResNet backbone in the below code snippet.

 yolo = keras_cv.models.YOLOV8Detector(
    num_classes=len(class_mapping),
    bounding_box_format="xyxy",
    backbone=backbone,
    fpn_depth=1,
)

Refer the YOLOv8 architecture here https://blog.roboflow.com/whats-new-in-yolov8/
