YOLO训练产出warning： NMS time limit 1.060s exceeded原因与解决办法

在进行模型训练结束后，模型代码会执行

Python val.py

对模型进行map准确率的验证，使用时候出现

talk is cheap ，show me the code.

            print(f'WARNING: NMS time limit {time_limit}s exceeded')
            break  # time limit exceeded

    return output

以上是NMS非极大值抑制代码实现过程，其原理也很简单，解决的是多个锚框重叠的问题。

其实原因来看，进行NMS的时间断点太长了，将阈值也调大

    #time_limit = 10.0  # seconds to quit after
    time_limit = 20.0  # seconds to quit after

同时这个warning只会存在与前几轮，原因是模型加载同时模型还没有学到特征，进行模型推理速度太慢，训练几轮后，模型的提取特征能力增强，推理图片数据的性能自然会提升，警告也就消失了。
