This repository represents Ultralytics open-source research into future object detection methods, and incorporates our lessons learned and best practices evolved over training thousands of models on custom client datasets with our previous YOLO repository https://github.com/ultralytics/yolov3. **All code and models are under active development, and are subject to modification or deletion without notice.** Use at your own risk.

** 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='', img_size=640, iou_thres=0.45, output='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
from PIL import Image

# Model
model = torch.hub.load('ultralytics/yolov5', 'yolov5s', pretrained=True).fuse().eval()  # yolov5s.pt
model = model.autoshape()  # for autoshaping of PIL/cv2/np inputs and NMS

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

# Inference
prediction = model(imgs, size=640)  # includes NMS
```


## Training

Download [COCO](https://github.com/ultralytics/yolov5/blob/master/data/scripts/get_coco.sh) and run command below. 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
```
