** APtest 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`
** SpeedGPU 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`

## Environments
YOLOv5 may be run in any of the following up-to-date verified environments (with all dependencies including [CUDA](https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda)/[CUDNN](https://developer.nvidia.com/cudnn), [Python](https://www.python.org/) and [PyTorch](https://pytorch.org/) preinstalled):
- **Google Colab Notebook** with free GPU: 
- **Kaggle Notebook** with free GPU: [https://www.kaggle.com/ultralytics/yolov5](https://www.kaggle.com/ultralytics/yolov5)
- **Google Cloud** Deep Learning VM. See [GCP Quickstart Guide](https://github.com/ultralytics/yolov5/wiki/GCP-Quickstart)
- **Docker Image** https://hub.docker.com/r/ultralytics/yolov5. See [Docker Quickstart Guide](https://github.com/ultralytics/yolov5/wiki/Docker-Quickstart) 
## 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, save_conf=False, save_dir='runs/detect', 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)
# Images
img1 = Image.open('zidane.jpg')
img2 = Image.open('bus.jpg')
imgs = [img1, img2] # batched list of images
# Inference
result = model(imgs)
```
## 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
```
