Quick Start Examples

Install

Clone repo and install requirements.txt in a Python>=3.7.0 environment, including PyTorch>=1.7.

git clone https://github.com/ultralytics/yolov5  # clone
cd yolov5
pip install -r requirements.txt  # install

Inference

YOLOv5 PyTorch Hub inference. Models download automatically from the latest YOLOv5 release.

import torch

# Model
model = torch.hub.load('ultralytics/yolov5', 'yolov5s')  # or yolov5n - yolov5x6, custom

# Images
img = 'https://ultralytics.com/images/zidane.jpg'  # or file, Path, 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
                          img.jpg  # image
                          vid.mp4  # video
                          screen  # screenshot
                          path/  # directory
                          'path/*.jpg'  # glob
                          'https://youtu.be/Zgi9g1ksQHc'  # YouTube
                          'rtsp://example.com/media.mp4'  # RTSP, RTMP, HTTP stream

Training

The commands below reproduce YOLOv5 COCO results. Models and datasets download automatically from the latest YOLOv5 release. Training times for YOLOv5n/s/m/l/x are 1/2/4/6/8 days on a V100 GPU (Multi-GPU times faster). Use the largest --batch-size possible, or pass --batch-size -1 for YOLOv5 AutoBatch. Batch sizes shown for V100-16GB.

YOLOv5 release v6.2 brings support for classification model training, validation, prediction and export! We've made training classifier models super simple. Click below to get started.

Classification Checkpoints (click to expand)

We trained YOLOv5-cls classification models on ImageNet for 90 epochs using a 4xA100 instance, and we trained ResNet and EfficientNet models alongside with the same default training settings to compare. We exported all models to ONNX FP32 for CPU speed tests and to TensorRT FP16 for GPU speed tests. We ran all speed tests on Google Colab Pro for easy reproducibility.

Classification Usage Examples (click to expand)

Train

YOLOv5 classification training supports auto-download of MNIST, Fashion-MNIST, CIFAR10, CIFAR100, Imagenette, Imagewoof, and ImageNet datasets with the --data argument. To start training on MNIST for example use --data mnist.

# Single-GPU
python classify/train.py --model yolov5s-cls.pt --data cifar100 --epochs 5 --img 224 --batch 128

# Multi-GPU DDP
python -m torch.distributed.run --nproc_per_node 4 --master_port 1 classify/train.py --model yolov5s-cls.pt --data imagenet --epochs 5 --img 224 --device 0,1,2,3

Val

Validate YOLOv5m-cls accuracy on ImageNet-1k dataset:

bash data/scripts/get_imagenet.sh --val  # download ImageNet val split (6.3G, 50000 images)
python classify/val.py --weights yolov5m-cls.pt --data ../datasets/imagenet --img 224  # validate

Predict

Use pretrained YOLOv5s-cls.pt to predict bus.jpg:

python classify/predict.py --weights yolov5s-cls.pt --data data/images/bus.jpg

model = torch.hub.load('ultralytics/yolov5', 'custom', 'yolov5s-cls.pt')  # load from PyTorch Hub

Export

Export a group of trained YOLOv5s-cls, ResNet and EfficientNet models to ONNX and TensorRT:

python export.py --weights yolov5s-cls.pt resnet50.pt efficientnet_b0.pt --include onnx engine --img 224
