General V2.0 is about halfway done, about 16 hours left.
You can try the best.pt after 50 runs, I did notice that the best.pt file is larger then the final best file. My original models I ran 60 Epochs. I am not sure if that effects the model. What yolov5 model are you using to train yolov5s, yolov5m, yolov5l, or yolov5x. All of my models I am using yolov5s this will have the fastest detection times.What's the story with the default 300 Epoch runs? I'm sure you are running it all the way through for completeness and accuracy but I was looking at the DS custom models video, which doesn't have narration, and it looks like the author was pointing his mouse at one of the stats of the Epoch runs to indicate that enough accuracy was achieved. He didn't allow it to run all 300 and simply grabbed the best.pt file fairly quickly as in "it's good enough" for gubermint work. Just asking because I was creating a model for for chits and giggles and let it run all ....was thinking I may could have grabbed the best.pt file after 50 runs.

I just watched the video and the training in the video was done with with yolov5m which should have 42Mb file, but when he show how the model works the file size was 14Mb so this model was trained with yolov5s.I was using the default yolo5m on the Google Co-laboratory website since I don't have a GPU card in my box. I was just fooling around with creating a USPS model specifically for my cam's field of view. The USPS logo model (created by some other fellow) works pretty good but I was trying to create a "uni-directional" model to capture only incoming not outgoing mailman (dead-end neighborhood). I was seeing if I could use my existing IVS triggers that are bi-directional. I just might create a clone cam then use zones to create a uni-directional trigger then use the USPS logo model.....don't know, just fooling around.
Which dark model were you comparing to, mine or original?@MikeLud1 I ran the general, V2.0, model overnight on my two problem child cameras. It actually performed quite well. The west camera detected about five more times versus the dark model and the east camera got them all. So far daytime is working at 100%. I've enabled it on another, indoor, camera to see how it does with people. Detection times are very consistent between day and night which is a nice thing.
Given that even the creator of this new model (@MikeLud1 ) wasnt very happy with it, I wanted to wait it out a few more days until he has the next version available (this coming weekend perhaps?).Is anyone else using the new "general" model? If so how's it working for you?
I am using general 2.0 on all my cameras and it is works, but I think I can do better. See the stats below, higher is betterI am getting some new falses with the general model, but not enough to be concerning. Otherwise it has been doing a nice job and I'll be switching all cameras over to it later this evening.
I'm usually not one that rushes to the latest beta version or even the latest release. In this case I figured that Mike went through a lot of trouble and work to put this together so the least I can do is give it a shot to see if it works and, hopefully, my observations help with the next iteration.
YesDo you plan on updating the Combined model?
