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.

• January 5, 2021: v4.0 release: nn.SiLU() activations, Weights & Biases logging, PyTorch Hub integration.
• August 13, 2020: v3.0 release: nn.Hardswish() activations, data autodownload, native AMP.
• July 23, 2020: v2.0 release: improved model definition, training and mAP.
• June 22, 2020: PANet updates: new heads, reduced parameters, improved speed and mAP 364fcfd.
• June 19, 2020: FP16 as new default for smaller checkpoints and faster inference d4c6674.

** 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

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

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='', img_size=640, iou_thres=0.45, save_conf=False, save_dir='runs/detect', save_txt=False, source='data/images/', update=False, view_img=False, weights=['yolov5s.pt'])

To run batched inference with YOLOv5 and PyTorch Hub:

import torch
from PIL import Image

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

# Images
img1 = Image.open('zidane.jpg')
img2 = Image.open('bus.jpg')
imgs = [img1, img2]  # batched list of images

# Inference
result = model(imgs)

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
