| `source` | `str` | `'ultralytics/assets'` | Specifies the data source for inference. Can be an image path, video file, directory, URL, or device ID for live feeds. Supports a wide range of formats and sources, enabling flexible application across [different types of input](/modes/predict.md/#inference-sources). |
| `conf` | `float` | `0.25` | Sets the minimum confidence threshold for detections. Objects detected with confidence below this threshold will be disregarded. Adjusting this value can help reduce false positives. |
| `iou` | `float` | `0.7` | [Intersection Over Union](https://www.ultralytics.com/glossary/intersection-over-union-iou) (IoU) threshold for Non-Maximum Suppression (NMS). Lower values result in fewer detections by eliminating overlapping boxes, useful for reducing duplicates. |

| `device` | `str` | `None` | Specifies the device for inference (e.g., `cpu`, `cuda:0` or `0`). Allows users to select between CPU, a specific GPU, or other compute devices for model execution. |
| `max_det` | `int` | `300` | Maximum number of detections allowed per image. Limits the total number of objects the model can detect in a single inference, preventing excessive outputs in dense scenes. |
| `vid_stride` | `int` | `1` | Frame stride for video inputs. Allows skipping frames in videos to speed up processing at the cost of temporal resolution. A value of 1 processes every frame, higher values skip frames. |
| `stream_buffer` | `bool` | `False` | Determines the frame processing strategy for video streams. If `False` processing only the most recent frame, minimizing latency (optimized for real-time applications). If `True' processes all frames in order, ensuring no frames are skipped. |
| `stream_buffer` | `bool` | `False` | Determines whether to queue incoming frames for video streams. If `False`, old frames get dropped to accomodate new frames (optimized for real-time applications). If `True', queues new frames in a buffer, ensuring no frames get skipped, but will cause latency if inference FPS is lower than stream FPS. |
| `visualize` | `bool` | `False` | Activates visualization of model features during inference, providing insights into what the model is "seeing". Useful for debugging and model interpretation. |
| `augment` | `bool` | `False` | Enables test-time augmentation (TTA) for predictions, potentially improving detection robustness at the cost of inference speed. |
| `agnostic_nms` | `bool` | `False` | Enables class-agnostic Non-Maximum Suppression (NMS), which merges overlapping boxes of different classes. Useful in multi-class detection scenarios where class overlap is common. |
