Hi @GalibaSashi,
Network pruning is out of DeepStream support scope.
You could try TLT Yolov3 which has been pruned by TLT, and TLT supports to prune the networks they provied based on your dataset.
Any questions about TLT can ask in TLT forum - TAO Toolkit - NVIDIA Developer Forums .

Thanks!

Hi I actually wanted to prune my pretrained YoloV3 weights and cfg model so to do so in TLT requires us to train and create model.
Is there any other way.

Sorry! I didn’t get your point.
If you want to prune the model customized by yourself, sorry, it’s out of DeepStream support scope as DeepStream is help user quickly deploy their trained model for video analysis system.

Thanks!

Hi @mchi,
Actually I just want the pruned version of general model of yoloV2 and YoloV3.Do you have any solution?

Besides TLT, we don’t have other solutions.

Thanks!
