YOLOv10 introduces a new approach to real-time object detection, addressing both the post-processing and model architecture deficiencies found in previous YOLO versions. By eliminating non-maximum suppression (NMS) and optimizing various model components, YOLOv10 achieves state-of-the-art performance with significantly reduced computational overhead. Extensive experiments demonstrate its superior accuracy-latency trade-offs across multiple model scales.
YOLOv10, built on the [Ultralytics](https://ultralytics.com) [Python package](https://pypi.org/project/ultralytics/) by researchers at [Tsinghua University](https://www.tsinghua.edu.cn/en/), introduces a new approach to real-time object detection, addressing both the post-processing and model architecture deficiencies found in previous YOLO versions. By eliminating non-maximum suppression (NMS) and optimizing various model components, YOLOv10 achieves state-of-the-art performance with significantly reduced computational overhead. Extensive experiments demonstrate its superior accuracy-latency trade-offs across multiple model scales.
## Overview
Real-time object detection aims to accurately predict object categories and positions in images with low latency. The YOLO series has been at the forefront of this research due to its balance between performance and efficiency. However, reliance on NMS and architectural inefficiencies have hindered optimal performance. YOLOv10 addresses these issues by introducing consistent dual assignments for NMS-free training and a holistic efficiency-accuracy driven model design strategy.
### Architecture
The architecture of YOLOv10 builds upon the strengths of previous YOLO models while introducing several key innovations. The model architecture consists of the following components:
1. **Backbone**: Responsible for feature extraction, the backbone in YOLOv10 uses an enhanced version of CSPNet (Cross Stage Partial Network) to improve gradient flow and reduce computational redundancy.
2. **Neck**: The neck is designed to aggregate features from different scales and passes them to the head. It includes PAN (Path Aggregation Network) layers for effective multiscale feature fusion.
3. **One-to-Many Head**: Generates multiple predictions per object during training to provide rich supervisory signals and improve learning accuracy.
4. **One-to-One Head**: Generates a single best prediction per object during inference to eliminate the need for NMS, thereby reducing latency and improving efficiency.
## Key Features
1. **NMS-Free Training**: Utilizes consistent dual assignments to eliminate the need for NMS, reducing inference latency.
