| `device` | `str` | `None` | Specifies the device for validation (`cpu`, `cuda:0`, etc.). Allows flexibility in utilizing CPU or GPU resources. |
| `dnn` | `bool` | `False` | If `True`, uses the [OpenCV](https://www.ultralytics.com/glossary/opencv) DNN module for ONNX model inference, offering an alternative to [PyTorch](https://www.ultralytics.com/glossary/pytorch) inference methods. |
| `plots` | `bool` | `False` | When set to `True`, generates and saves plots of predictions versus ground truth for visual evaluation of the model's performance. |
| `rect` | `bool` | `False` | If `True`, uses rectangular inference for batching, reducing padding and potentially increasing speed and efficiency. |
| `rect` | `bool` | `True` | If `True`, uses rectangular inference for batching, reducing padding and potentially increasing speed and efficiency. |
| `split` | `str` | `val` | Determines the dataset split to use for validation (`val`, `test`, or `train`). Allows flexibility in choosing the data segment for performance evaluation. |
| `project` | `str` | `None` | Name of the project directory where validation outputs are saved. |
| `name` | `str` | `None` | Name of the validation run. Used for creating a subdirectory within the project folder, where valdiation logs and outputs are stored. |
