笔者很喜欢CenterNet极简的网络结构，CenterNet只通过FCN（全卷积）的方法实现了对于目标的检测与分类，无需anchor与nms等复杂的操作高效的同时精度也不差。同时也可以很将此结构简单的修改就可以应用到人体姿态估计与三维目标检测之中。
后面一些针对CenterNet结构应用于其他任务，也取得不错的效果，比如人脸检测CenterFace以及目标追踪CenterTrack与FairMot。这些内容后面等笔者研习过后再补充，后面应该会做一个类CenterNet结构总结对比，感兴趣的读者可以持续关注一下。
下面要引出写此篇博文的了，在研习CenterNet时看到了CenterNet与YoloV3的对比，在速度与精度都实现了超越，其实针对这个结论笔者还是略带怀疑态度的。
YoloV3网络的特点是速度快，精度不是很高，常用于实际的检测项目中，实现实时检测识别。相较于二阶段（two stage）的Faster Rcnn具备速度优势，相较于单阶段（one stage）的SSD（Single Shot Detection）与RetinaNet有速度与精度的优势。
所以笔者对CenterNet针对YoloV3速度的提升还是有些怀疑的，YoloV3可以说目前是工业上最常用也是最好用的目标检测算法，如果真的如CenterNet的论文结论所述，CenterNet同时也具备结构简单使用方便的特点（先忽略DCN，部署全面支持只是时间问题），肯定能取代YoloV3的地位。
针对上述情况，笔者打算做一下对比实验，测试在相同的硬件与环境的条件下，来测试CenterNet与YoloV3的精度与速度的测试，其实为了简化实验，这里只测试在相同尺寸下CenterNet与YoloV3的速度对比，精度以文章的内容为准。

3.补充实验
在进一步研究了两个代码的实现后，笔者发现了实验的一个问题，只对比了模型推理速度，虽然能看出模型推理效率。但是在实际应用场景中，前后处理也有一定耗时，所以笔者增加了一个在 640/1280 尺寸上整体耗时对比，来说明实际应用时速度差异。

精度依据：
1.https://github.com/ultralytics/yolov3
2.https://github.com/xingyizhou/CenterNet
结论如下：
关于笔者的质疑部分“笔者对CenterNet针对YoloV3速度的提升还是有些怀疑的”，实验结果部分证明笔者怀疑的正确性。
单纯看模型推理速度方面，CenterNet-DLA-34 在不同尺度下均比YoloV3-spp版本耗时增加一些（1%-3%）与论文略有不符。但是如果将处理时间也考虑进去，CenterNet-DLA-34 在不同尺度下均比YoloV3-spp版本耗时减少还是很明显的，约有5%-10%的提速。
在模型大小与内存占用方面，CenterNet-DLA-34 效果较与YoloV3-spp版本提升还是比较明显，体积下降为YoloV3-spp版本的25%左右，推理GPU内存占用也下降为70%左右，考虑这是Anchor Free方法带来的优势。
从表格 CenterNet vs YoloV3x coco精度 中可以看出在相同尺度下，CenterNet相较于YoloV3原版提升比较明显5个百分点，相较于YoloV3-spp也有2个百分点提升 ，但是相较于YoloV3-spp-ultralytics（U版YoloV3-spp），还是有5个百分点的不足。当然这个前提是这些数据准确可靠的，我倾向于相信这个结果，但无法对此结果负责。总结一下：CenterNet相较于YoloV3原版提升比较明显，但是针对改进YoloV3-spp 提升不明显，也低于U版 YoloV3-spp。
总结如下，CenterNet不失为开创性的工作，统一了关键点与目标检测的流程，结构简单，使用便捷，笔者非常喜爱这个网络，把它应用到实际场景之中，速度精度较YoloV3乃至YoloV3-spp均有提升，除了部署难度会稍微大些（主要是DCN目前推理框架支持不友好，但是也是有解决方法的）。
CenterNet凭借结构简单，使用便捷，速度快精度高，占用内存少等优点，是可以替换YoloV3，具备一定优势。虽然YoloV4也出来了，笔者觉得，但是YoloV4在精度提升的同时，整体的复杂程度模型耗时也增加一些，YoloV4完全替换YoloV3，并不现实（读者如果对YoloV4对比YoloV3效果感兴趣，可以评论说出来，如果感兴趣朋友多，笔者可以更新一篇）。
最后到了本文的结论，CenterNet相较于YoloV3优势很明显，推荐尝试替换。
