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

Clone repo and install requirements.txt in a
Python>=3.7.0 environment, including
PyTorch>=1.7.

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

Inference

YOLOv5 PyTorch Hub inference. Models download automatically from the latest
YOLOv5 release.

import torch

# Model
model = torch.hub.load('ultralytics/yolov5', 'yolov5s')  # or yolov5n - yolov5x6, custom

# Images
img = 'https://ultralytics.com/images/zidane.jpg'  # or file, Path, 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
                          img.jpg  # image
                          vid.mp4  # video
                          path/  # directory
                          path/*.jpg  # glob
                          'https://youtu.be/Zgi9g1ksQHc'  # YouTube
                          'rtsp://example.com/media.mp4'  # RTSP, RTMP, HTTP stream

Training

The commands below reproduce YOLOv5 COCO
results. Models
and datasets download automatically from the latest
YOLOv5 release. Training times for YOLOv5n/s/m/l/x are
1/2/4/6/8 days on a V100 GPU (Multi-GPU times faster). Use the
largest --batch-size possible, or pass --batch-size -1 for
YOLOv5 AutoBatch. Batch sizes shown for V100-16GB.

python train.py --data coco.yaml --cfg yolov5n.yaml --weights '' --batch-size 128
                                       yolov5s                                64

Figure Notes (click to expand)

• COCO AP val denotes mAP@0.5:0.95 metric measured on the 5000-image COCO val2017 dataset over various inference sizes from 256 to 1536.
• GPU Speed measures average inference time per image on COCO val2017 dataset using a AWS p3.2xlarge V100 instance at batch-size 32.
• EfficientDet data from google/automl at batch size 8.
• Reproduce by python val.py --task study --data coco.yaml --iou 0.7 --weights yolov5n6.pt yolov5s6.pt yolov5m6.pt yolov5l6.pt yolov5x6.pt

Table Notes (click to expand)

• All checkpoints are trained to 300 epochs with default settings. Nano and Small models use hyp.scratch-low.yaml hyps, all others use hyp.scratch-high.yaml.
• mAP^val values are for single-model single-scale on COCO val2017 dataset.
  Reproduce by python val.py --data coco.yaml --img 640 --conf 0.001 --iou 0.65
• Speed averaged over COCO val images using a AWS p3.2xlarge instance. NMS times (~1 ms/img) not included.
  Reproduce by python val.py --data coco.yaml --img 640 --task speed --batch 1
• TTA Test Time Augmentation includes reflection and scale augmentations.
