# Interactive Object Detection: Gradio & Ultralytics YOLOv8 🚀

## Introduction to Interactive Object Detection

This Gradio interface provides an easy and interactive way to perform object detection using the [Ultralytics YOLOv8](https://github.com/ultralytics/ultralytics/) model. Users can upload images and adjust parameters like confidence threshold and intersection-over-union (IoU) threshold to get real-time detection results.

## Why Use Gradio for Object Detection?

- **User-Friendly Interface:** Gradio offers a straightforward platform for users to upload images and visualize detection results without any coding requirement.
- **Real-Time Adjustments:** Parameters such as confidence and IoU thresholds can be adjusted on the fly, allowing for immediate feedback and optimization of detection results.
- **Broad Accessibility:** The Gradio web interface can be accessed by anyone, making it an excellent tool for demonstrations, educational purposes, and quick experiments.

## How to Install the Gradio

```bash
pip install gradio
```

## How to Use the Interface

1. **Upload Image:** Click on 'Upload Image' to choose an image file for object detection.
2. **Adjust Parameters:**
    - **Confidence Threshold:** Slider to set the minimum confidence level for detecting objects.
    - **IoU Threshold:** Slider to set the IoU threshold for distinguishing different objects.
3. **View Results:** The processed image with detected objects and their labels will be displayed.

## Example Use Cases

- **Sample Image 1:** Bus detection with default thresholds.
- **Sample Image 2:** Detection on a sports image with default thresholds.

## Usage Example

This section provides the Python code used to create the Gradio interface with the Ultralytics YOLOv8 model. Supports classification tasks, detection tasks, segmentation tasks, and key point tasks.

```python
import gradio as gr
import PIL.Image as Image

from ultralytics import ASSETS, YOLO

model = YOLO("yolov8n.pt")


def predict_image(img, conf_threshold, iou_threshold):
    """Predicts and plots labeled objects in an image using YOLOv8 model with adjustable confidence and IOU thresholds."""
    results = model.predict(
        source=img,
        conf=conf_threshold,
        iou=iou_threshold,
        show_labels=True,
        show_conf=True,
        imgsz=640,
    )

    for r in results:
        im_array = r.plot()
        im = Image.fromarray(im_array[..., ::-1])

    return im


iface = gr.Interface(
    fn=predict_image,
    inputs=[
        gr.Image(type="pil", label="Upload Image"),
        gr.Slider(minimum=0, maximum=1, value=0.25, label="Confidence threshold"),
        gr.Slider(minimum=0, maximum=1, value=0.45, label="IoU threshold"),
    ],
    outputs=gr.Image(type="pil", label="Result"),

)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    iface.launch()
