YOLOv5 🚀 is a family of object detection architectures and models pretrained on the COCO dataset, and represents Ultralytics open-source research into future vision AI methods, incorporating lessons learned and best practices evolved over thousands of hours of research and development.

Documentation

See the YOLOv5 Docs for full documentation on training, testing and deployment.

Quick Start Examples

Install

Python>=3.6.0 is required with all requirements.txt installed including PyTorch>=1.7:

$ git clone https://github.com/ultralytics/yolov5
$ cd yolov5
$ pip install -r requirements.txt

Inference

Inference with YOLOv5 and PyTorch Hub. Models automatically download from the latest YOLOv5 release.

import torch

# Model
model = torch.hub.load('ultralytics/yolov5', 'yolov5s')  # or yolov5m, yolov5l, yolov5x, custom

# Images
img = 'https://ultralytics.com/images/zidane.jpg'  # or PosixPath, PIL, OpenCV, numpy, list

# Inference
results = model(img)

# Results
results.print()  # or .show(), .save(), .crop(), .pandas(), etc.

Inference with detect.py

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
                            'https://youtu.be/NUsoVlDFqZg'  # YouTube video
                            'rtsp://example.com/media.mp4'  # RTSP, RTMP, HTTP stream

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
                                         yolov5x                                16

Table Notes (click to expand)

• AP^test denotes COCO test-dev2017 server results, all other AP results denote val2017 accuracy.
  
• AP values are for single-model single-scale unless otherwise noted. Reproduce mAP by python val.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 FP16 inference, postprocessing and NMS. Reproduce speed by python val.py --data coco.yaml --img 640 --conf 0.25 --iou 0.45 --half
  
• All checkpoints are trained to 300 epochs with default settings and hyperparameters (no autoaugmentation).
• Test Time Augmentation (TTA) includes reflection and scale augmentation. Reproduce TTA by python val.py --data coco.yaml --img 1536 --iou 0.7 --augment
