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.

** APtest 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`
** SpeedGPU 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
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
```
