## YOLOv6 base model

English | [简体中文](./README_cn.md)

### Features

- Use only regular convolution and Relu activation functions.

- Apply CSP (1/2 channel dim) blocks in the network structure, except for Nano base model.

Advantage:
- Adopt a unified network structure and configuration, and the accuracy loss of the PTQ 8-bit quantization model is negligible.
- Suitable for users who are just getting started or who need to apply, optimize and deploy an 8-bit quantization model quickly and frequently.

- Speed is tested with TensorRT 8.2.4.2 on T4.
- The processes of model training, evaluation, and inference are the same as the original ones. For details, please refer to [this README](https://github.com/meituan/YOLOv6#quick-start).
