Ultralytics Code Coverage

Open In Kaggle

[Ultralytics](https://ultralytics.com) [YOLOv8](https://github.com/ultralytics/ultralytics) is a cutting-edge, state-of-the-art (SOTA) model that builds upon the success of previous YOLO versions and introduces new features and improvements to further boost performance and flexibility. YOLOv8 is designed to be fast, accurate, and easy to use, making it an excellent choice for a wide range of object detection and tracking, instance segmentation, image classification and pose estimation tasks. We hope that the resources here will help you get the most out of YOLOv8. Please browse the YOLOv8 Docs for details, raise an issue on GitHub for support, and join our Discord community for questions and discussions!

Documentation

See below for a quickstart installation and usage example, and see the [YOLOv8 Docs](https://docs.ultralytics.com) for full documentation on training, validation, prediction and deployment.

Install

Pip install the ultralytics package including all [requirements](https://github.com/ultralytics/ultralytics/blob/main/requirements.txt) in a [**Python>=3.8**](https://www.python.org/) environment with [**PyTorch>=1.8**](https://pytorch.org/get-started/locally/). [![PyPI version](https://badge.fury.io/py/ultralytics.svg)](https://badge.fury.io/py/ultralytics) [![Downloads](https://static.pepy.tech/badge/ultralytics)](https://pepy.tech/project/ultralytics) ```bash pip install ultralytics ``` For alternative installation methods including [Conda](https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/ultralytics), [Docker](https://hub.docker.com/r/ultralytics/ultralytics), and Git, please refer to the [Quickstart Guide](https://docs.ultralytics.com/quickstart).

Usage

#### CLI YOLOv8 may be used directly in the Command Line Interface (CLI) with a `yolo` command: ```bash yolo predict model=yolov8n.pt source='https://ultralytics.com/images/bus.jpg' ``` `yolo` can be used for a variety of tasks and modes and accepts additional arguments, i.e. `imgsz=640`. See the YOLOv8 [CLI Docs](https://docs.ultralytics.com/usage/cli) for examples. #### Python YOLOv8 may also be used directly in a Python environment, and accepts the same [arguments](https://docs.ultralytics.com/usage/cfg/) as in the CLI example above: ```python from ultralytics import YOLO # Load a model model = YOLO("yolov8n.yaml") # build a new model from scratch model = YOLO("yolov8n.pt") # load a pretrained model (recommended for training) # Use the model model.train(data="coco128.yaml", epochs=3) # train the model metrics = model.val() # evaluate model performance on the validation set results = model("https://ultralytics.com/images/bus.jpg") # predict on an image path = model.export(format="onnx") # export the model to ONNX format ``` See YOLOv8 [Python Docs](https://docs.ultralytics.com/usage/python) for more examples.

Models

YOLOv8 [Detect](https://docs.ultralytics.com/tasks/detect), [Segment](https://docs.ultralytics.com/tasks/segment) and [Pose](https://docs.ultralytics.com/tasks/pose) models pretrained on the [COCO](https://docs.ultralytics.com/datasets/detect/coco) dataset are available here, as well as YOLOv8 [Classify](https://docs.ultralytics.com/tasks/classify) models pretrained on the [ImageNet](https://docs.ultralytics.com/datasets/classify/imagenet) dataset. [Track](https://docs.ultralytics.com/modes/track) mode is available for all Detect, Segment and Pose models.
