YOLOv5 π 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
Python>=3.6.0 is required with all requirements.txt installed including PyTorch>=1.7:
$ git clone https://github.com/ultralytics/yolov5
$ cd yolov5
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
Inference
Inference with YOLOv5 and PyTorch Hub. Models automatically download from the latest YOLOv5 release.
import torch
# Model
model = torch.hub.load('ultralytics/yolov5', 'yolov5s') # or yolov5m, yolov5l, yolov5x, custom
# Images
img = 'https://ultralytics.com/images/zidane.jpg' # or PosixPath, 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
file.jpg # image
file.mp4 # video
path/ # directory
path/*.jpg # glob
'https://youtu.be/NUsoVlDFqZg' # YouTube video
'rtsp://example.com/media.mp4' # RTSP, RTMP, HTTP stream
Training
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
yolov5m 40
yolov5l 24
yolov5x 16

Table Notes (click to expand)
- APtest denotes COCO test-dev2017 server results, all other AP results denote val2017 accuracy.
- AP values are for single-model single-scale unless otherwise noted. Reproduce mAP by
python val.py --data coco.yaml --img 640 --conf 0.001 --iou 0.65
- SpeedGPU averaged over 5000 COCO val2017 images using a GCP n1-standard-16 V100 instance, and includes FP16 inference, postprocessing and NMS. Reproduce speed by
python val.py --data coco.yaml --img 640 --conf 0.25 --iou 0.45 --half
- All checkpoints are trained to 300 epochs with default settings and hyperparameters (no autoaugmentation).
- Test Time Augmentation (TTA) includes reflection and scale augmentation. Reproduce TTA by
python val.py --data coco.yaml --img 1536 --iou 0.7 --augment
