|
## Install |
|
|
|
Prepare for launch by cloning the repository and establishing the environment. This ensures that all the necessary [requirements](https://github.com/ultralytics/yolov5/blob/master/requirements.txt) are installed. Check that you have [**Python>=3.8.0**](https://www.python.org/) and [**PyTorch>=1.8**](https://pytorch.org/get-started/locally/) ready for takeoff. |
|
|
|
```bash |
|
git clone https://github.com/ultralytics/yolov5 # clone repository |
|
cd yolov5 |
|
pip install -r requirements.txt # install dependencies |
|
``` |
|
|
|
## Inference with PyTorch Hub |
|
|
|
Experience the simplicity of YOLOv5 [PyTorch Hub](./tutorials/pytorch_hub_model_loading.md) inference, where [models](https://github.com/ultralytics/yolov5/tree/master/models) are seamlessly downloaded from the latest YOLOv5 [release](https://github.com/ultralytics/yolov5/releases). |
|
|
|
```python |
|
import torch |
|
|
|
# Model loading |
|
model = torch.hub.load("ultralytics/yolov5", "yolov5s") # Can be 'yolov5n' - 'yolov5x6', or 'custom' |
|
|
|
# Inference on images |
|
img = "https://ultralytics.com/images/zidane.jpg" # Can be a file, Path, PIL, OpenCV, numpy, or list of images |
|
|
|
# Run inference |
|
results = model(img) |
|
|
|
# Display results |
|
results.print() # Other options: .show(), .save(), .crop(), .pandas(), etc. |
|
``` |
|
|
|
## Inference with detect.py |
|
|
|
Harness `detect.py` for versatile inference on various sources. It automatically fetches [models](https://github.com/ultralytics/yolov5/tree/master/models) from the latest YOLOv5 [release](https://github.com/ultralytics/yolov5/releases) and saves results with ease. |
|
|
|
```bash |
|
python detect.py --weights yolov5s.pt --source 0 # webcam |
|
image.jpg # image |
|
video.mp4 # video |
|
screen # screenshot |
|
path/ # directory |
|
list.txt # list of images |
|
list.streams # list of streams |
|
'path/*.jpg' # glob |
|
'https://youtu.be/LNwODJXcvt4' # YouTube |
|
'rtsp://example.com/media.mp4' # RTSP, RTMP, HTTP stream |
|
``` |
|
|
|
## Training |
|
|
|
Replicate the YOLOv5 [COCO](https://github.com/ultralytics/yolov5/blob/master/data/scripts/get_coco.sh) benchmarks with the instructions below. The necessary [models](https://github.com/ultralytics/yolov5/tree/master/models) and [datasets](https://github.com/ultralytics/yolov5/tree/master/data) are pulled directly from the latest YOLOv5 [release](https://github.com/ultralytics/yolov5/releases). Training YOLOv5n/s/m/l/x on a V100 GPU should typically take 1/2/4/6/8 days respectively (note that [Multi-GPU](./tutorials/multi_gpu_training.md) setups work faster). Maximize performance by using the highest possible `--batch-size` or use `--batch-size -1` for the YOLOv5 [AutoBatch](https://github.com/ultralytics/yolov5/pull/5092) feature. The following batch sizes are ideal for V100-16GB GPUs. |
|
|
|
```bash |
|
python train.py --data coco.yaml --epochs 300 --weights '' --cfg yolov5n.yaml --batch-size 128 |
|
yolov5s 64 |
|
yolov5m 40 |
|
yolov5l 24 |
|
yolov5x 16 |
|
``` |
