This repository represents Ultralytics open-source research into future object detection methods, and incorporates lessons learned and best practices evolved over thousands of hours of training and evolution on anonymized client datasets. All code and models are under active development, and are subject to modification or deletion without notice. Use at your own risk.

** GPU Speed measures end-to-end time per image averaged over 5000 COCO val2017 images using a V100 GPU with batch size 32, and includes image preprocessing, PyTorch FP16 inference, postprocessing and NMS. EfficientDet data from google/automl at batch size 8.

** AP^test denotes COCO test-dev2017 server results, all other AP results denote val2017 accuracy.
** All AP numbers are for single-model single-scale without ensemble or TTA. Reproduce mAP by python test.py --data coco.yaml --img 640 --conf 0.001 --iou 0.65
** Speed_GPU averaged over 5000 COCO val2017 images using a GCP n1-standard-16 V100 instance, and includes image preprocessing, FP16 inference, postprocessing and NMS. NMS is 1-2ms/img. Reproduce speed by python test.py --data coco.yaml --img 640 --conf 0.25 --iou 0.45
** All checkpoints are trained to 300 epochs with default settings and hyperparameters (no autoaugmentation). ** Test Time Augmentation (TTA) runs at 3 image sizes. Reproduce TTA by python test.py --data coco.yaml --img 832 --iou 0.65 --augment

Requirements

Python 3.8 or later with all requirements.txt dependencies installed, including torch>=1.7. To install run:

$ pip install -r requirements.txt

Environments

YOLOv5 may be run in any of the following up-to-date verified environments (with all dependencies including CUDA/CUDNN, Python and PyTorch preinstalled):

• Google Colab and Kaggle notebooks with free GPU:
• Google Cloud Deep Learning VM. See GCP Quickstart Guide
• Amazon Deep Learning AMI. See AWS Quickstart Guide
• Docker Image. See Docker Quickstart Guide

Inference

detect.py runs inference on a variety of sources, downloading models automatically from the latest YOLOv5 release and saving results to runs/detect.

$ python detect.py --source 0  # webcam
                            file.jpg  # image 
                            file.mp4  # video
                            path/  # directory
                            path/*.jpg  # glob

                            rtmp://192.168.1.105/live/test  # rtmp stream

To run inference on example images in data/images:

$ python detect.py --source data/images --weights yolov5s.pt --conf 0.25

Namespace(agnostic_nms=False, augment=False, classes=None, conf_thres=0.25, device='', exist_ok=False, img_size=640, iou_thres=0.45, name='exp', project='runs/detect', save_conf=False, save_txt=False, source='data/images/', update=False, view_img=False, weights=['yolov5s.pt'])

PyTorch Hub

To run batched inference with YOLOv5 and PyTorch Hub:

import torch

# Model
model = torch.hub.load('ultralytics/yolov5', 'yolov5s')

# Images
dir = 'https://github.com/ultralytics/yolov5/raw/master/data/images/'
imgs = [dir + f for f in ('zidane.jpg', 'bus.jpg')]  # batch of images

# Inference
results = model(imgs)
results.print()  # or .show(), .save()

Training

Run commands below to reproduce results on COCO dataset (dataset auto-downloads on first use). Training times for YOLOv5s/m/l/x are 2/4/6/8 days on a single V100 (multi-GPU times faster). Use the largest --batch-size your GPU allows (batch sizes shown for 16 GB devices).

$ python train.py --data coco.yaml --cfg yolov5s.yaml --weights '' --batch-size 64
                                         yolov5m                                40
                                         yolov5l                                24
