How to combine other Pretrained network with YOLOX for backbone?

Hello,

In this example: https://www.mathworks.com/help/vision/ref/yoloxobjectdetector.html shows about YOLOX object detection model.

YOLOX used CSP-DarkNet-53 for backbone net. But can we combine other pretrained network model in YOLOX for backbone net like Resnet18, googlenet, etc., please?

Thanks in advance!

Hello Drov,

YOLOX unlike the other existing Object Detection networks in MATLAB such as YOLO v4, YOLO v2, etc. does not have the option to take in a custom trained network as input. It supports only two pretrained YOLOX deep learning networks namely "small-coco" and "tiny-coco" which use CSP-DarkNet-53 as the base network. There is thus no workaroud currently to use any other base network with YOLOX.

Hope this answers your query!
