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 in the table denote val2017 accuracy.  
** All AP numbers are for single-model single-scale without ensemble or test-time augmentation. **Reproduce** by `python test.py --data coco.yaml --img 640 --conf 0.001`  
** Speed<sub>GPU</sub> measures end-to-end time per image averaged over 5000 COCO val2017 images using a GCP [n1-standard-16](https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/machine-types#n1_standard_machine_types) instance with one V100 GPU, and includes image preprocessing, PyTorch FP16 image inference at --batch-size 32 --img-size 640, postprocessing and NMS. Average NMS time included in this chart is 1-2ms/img.  **Reproduce** by `python test.py --data coco.yaml --img 640 --conf 0.1`  
** 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** by `python test.py --data coco.yaml --img 832 --augment`

## Inference

Inference can be run on most common media formats. Model [checkpoints](https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Drs_Aiu7xx6S-ix95f9kNsA6ueKRpN2J) are downloaded automatically if available. Results are saved to `./inference/output`.
```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

```

To run inference on examples in the `./inference/images` folder:

```bash
$ python detect.py --source ./inference/images/ --weights yolov5s.pt --conf 0.4

Namespace(agnostic_nms=False, augment=False, classes=None, conf_thres=0.4, device='', fourcc='mp4v', half=False, img_size=640, iou_thres=0.5, output='inference/output', save_txt=False, source='./inference/images/', view_img=False, weights='yolov5s.pt')

## 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
