# Oriented Bounding Boxes [Object Detection](https://www.ultralytics.com/glossary/object-detection) |
|
|
|
<!-- obb task poster --> |
|
|
|
Oriented object detection goes a step further than object detection and introduce an extra angle to locate objects more accurate in an image. |
|
|
|
The output of an oriented object detector is a set of rotated bounding boxes that exactly enclose the objects in the image, along with class labels and confidence scores for each box. Object detection is a good choice when you need to identify objects of interest in a scene, but don't need to know exactly where the object is or its exact shape. |

|
|
YOLO11 OBB models use the `-obb` suffix, i.e. `yolo11n-obb.pt` and are pretrained on [DOTAv1](https://github.com/ultralytics/ultralytics/blob/main/ultralytics/cfg/datasets/DOTAv1.yaml). |

|
|
|
## Val |
|
|
|
Validate trained YOLO11n-obb model [accuracy](https://www.ultralytics.com/glossary/accuracy) on the DOTA8 dataset. No arguments are needed as the `model` retains its training `data` and arguments as model attributes. |

|
|
=== "Python" |
|
|
|
```python |
|
from ultralytics import YOLO |
|
|
|
# Load a model |
|
model = YOLO("yolo11n-obb.pt") # load an official model |
|
model = YOLO("path/to/best.pt") # load a custom model |
|
|
|
# Validate the model |
|
metrics = model.val(data="dota8.yaml") # no arguments needed, dataset and settings remembered |
|
metrics.box.map # map50-95(B) |
|
metrics.box.map50 # map50(B) |
|
metrics.box.map75 # map75(B) |
|
metrics.box.maps # a list contains map50-95(B) of each category |
|
``` |
|
|
|
=== "CLI" |
|
|
|
```bash |
|
yolo obb val model=yolo11n-obb.pt data=dota8.yaml # val official model |
|
yolo obb val model=path/to/best.pt data=path/to/data.yaml # val custom model |
|
``` |
|
|
|
## Predict |
|
|
|
Use a trained YOLO11n-obb model to run predictions on images. |
|
|
|
!!! example |
|
|
|
=== "Python" |
|
|
|
```python |
|
from ultralytics import YOLO |
|
|
|
# Load a model |
|
model = YOLO("yolo11n-obb.pt") # load an official model |
|
model = YOLO("path/to/best.pt") # load a custom model |
|
|
|
# Predict with the model |
|
results = model("https://ultralytics.com/images/bus.jpg") # predict on an image |
|
``` |
|
|
|
=== "CLI" |
|
|
|
```bash |
|
yolo obb predict model=yolo11n-obb.pt source='https://ultralytics.com/images/bus.jpg' # predict with official model |

## Export |
|
|
|
Export a YOLO11n-obb model to a different format like ONNX, CoreML, etc. |
|
|
|
!!! example |
|
|
|
=== "Python" |
|
|
|
```python |
|
from ultralytics import YOLO |
|
|
|
# Load a model |
|
model = YOLO("yolo11n-obb.pt") # load an official model |
|
model = YOLO("path/to/best.pt") # load a custom trained model |
|
|
|
# Export the model |
|
model.export(format="onnx") |
|
``` |
|
|
|
=== "CLI" |
|
|
|
```bash |
|
yolo export model=yolo11n-obb.pt format=onnx # export official model |
|
yolo export model=path/to/best.pt format=onnx # export custom trained model |
|
``` |
|
|
|
Available YOLO11-obb export formats are in the table below. You can export to any format using the `format` argument, i.e. `format='onnx'` or `format='engine'`. You can predict or validate directly on exported models, i.e. `yolo predict model=yolo11n-obb.onnx`. Usage examples are shown for your model after export completes. |

## FAQ |
|
|
|
### What are Oriented Bounding Boxes (OBB) and how do they differ from regular bounding boxes? |
|
|
|
Oriented Bounding Boxes (OBB) include an additional angle to enhance object localization accuracy in images. Unlike regular bounding boxes, which are axis-aligned rectangles, OBBs can rotate to fit the orientation of the object better. This is particularly useful for applications requiring precise object placement, such as aerial or satellite imagery ([Dataset Guide](../datasets/obb/index.md)). |
|
|
|
### How do I train a YOLO11n-obb model using a custom dataset? |
|
|
|
To train a YOLO11n-obb model with a custom dataset, follow the example below using Python or CLI: |
|
|
|
!!! example |
|
|
|
=== "Python" |
|
|
|
```python |
|
from ultralytics import YOLO |
|
|
|
# Load a pretrained model |
|
model = YOLO("yolo11n-obb.pt") |
|
|
|
# Train the model |
|
results = model.train(data="path/to/custom_dataset.yaml", epochs=100, imgsz=640) |
|
``` |
|
|
|
=== "CLI" |
|
|
|
```bash |
|
yolo obb train data=path/to/custom_dataset.yaml model=yolo11n-obb.pt epochs=100 imgsz=640 |
|
``` |
|
|
|
For more training arguments, check the [Configuration](../usage/cfg.md) section. |
|
|
|
### What datasets can I use for training YOLO11-OBB models? |
|
|
|
YOLO11-OBB models are pretrained on datasets like [DOTAv1](https://github.com/ultralytics/ultralytics/blob/main/ultralytics/cfg/datasets/DOTAv1.yaml) but you can use any dataset formatted for OBB. Detailed information on OBB dataset formats can be found in the [Dataset Guide](../datasets/obb/index.md). |
|
|
|
### How can I export a YOLO11-OBB model to ONNX format? |
|
|
|
Exporting a YOLO11-OBB model to ONNX format is straightforward using either Python or CLI: |
|
|
|
!!! example |

```python |
|
from ultralytics import YOLO |
|
|
|
# Load a model |
|
model = YOLO("yolo11n-obb.pt") |
|
|
|
# Export the model |
|
model.export(format="onnx") |
|
``` |
|
|
|
=== "CLI" |
|

### How do I validate the accuracy of a YOLO11n-obb model? |
|
|
|
To validate a YOLO11n-obb model, you can use Python or CLI commands as shown below: |
|
|
|
!!! example |
|
|
|
=== "Python" |
|
|
|
```python |
|
from ultralytics import YOLO |
|
|
|
# Load a model |
|
model = YOLO("yolo11n-obb.pt") |
