** AP<sup>test</sup> denotes COCO [test-dev2017](http://cocodataset.org/#upload) 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<sub>GPU</sub> averaged over 5000 COCO val2017 images using a GCP [n1-standard-16](https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/machine-types#n1_standard_machine_types) 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](https://github.com/ultralytics/yolov5/issues/303)) runs at 3 image sizes. **Reproduce TTA** by `python test.py --data coco.yaml --img 832 --iou 0.65 --augment`

## Inference

detect.py runs inference on a variety of sources, downloading models automatically from the [latest YOLOv5 release](https://github.com/ultralytics/yolov5/releases) and saving results to `runs/detect`.
```bash
$ python detect.py --source 0  # webcam
                            file.jpg  # image 
                            file.mp4  # video
                            path/  # directory
                            path/*.jpg  # glob
                            rtsp://170.93.143.139/rtplive/470011e600ef003a004ee33696235daa  # rtsp stream
                            rtmp://192.168.1.105/live/test  # rtmp stream
                            http://112.50.243.8/PLTV/88888888/224/3221225900/1.m3u8  # http stream
```

To run inference on example images in `data/images`:
```bash
$ 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](https://github.com/ultralytics/yolov5/issues/36):
```python
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](https://github.com/ultralytics/yolov5/blob/master/data/scripts/get_coco.sh) 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).
```bash
$ python train.py --data coco.yaml --cfg yolov5s.yaml --weights '' --batch-size 64
                                         yolov5m                                40
                                         yolov5l                                24
                                         yolov5x                                16
```
