true Learn how to ensemble YOLOv5 models for improved mAP and Recall! Clone the repo, install requirements, and start testing and inference. YOLOv5, object detection, ensemble learning, mAP, Recall

📚 This guide explains how to use YOLOv5 🚀 model ensembling during testing and inference for improved mAP and Recall. UPDATED 25 September 2022.

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ensemble_learning:

Ensemble modeling is a process where multiple diverse models are created to predict an outcome, either by using many different modeling algorithms or using different training data sets. The ensemble model then aggregates the prediction of each base model and results in once final prediction for the unseen data. The motivation for using ensemble models is to reduce the generalization error of the prediction. As long as the base models are diverse and independent, the prediction error of the model decreases when the ensemble approach is used. The approach seeks the wisdom of crowds in making a prediction. Even though the ensemble model has multiple base models within the model, it acts and performs as a single model.

Before You Start

Clone repo and install requirements.txt in a Python>=3.7.0 environment, including PyTorch>=1.7. Models and datasets download automatically from the latest YOLOv5 release.

git clone https://github.com/ultralytics/yolov5  # clone
cd yolov5
pip install -r requirements.txt  # install

Test Normally

Before ensembling we want to establish the baseline performance of a single model. This command tests YOLOv5x on COCO val2017 at image size 640 pixels. yolov5x.pt is the largest and most accurate model available. Other options are yolov5s.pt, yolov5m.pt and yolov5l.pt, or you own checkpoint from training a custom dataset ./weights/best.pt. For details on all available models please see our README table.

python val.py --weights yolov5x.pt --data coco.yaml --img 640 --half

Output:

val: data=./data/coco.yaml, weights=['yolov5x.pt'], batch_size=32, imgsz=640, conf_thres=0.001, iou_thres=0.65, task=val, device=, single_cls=False, augment=False, verbose=False, save_txt=False, save_hybrid=False, save_conf=False, save_json=True, project=runs/val, name=exp, exist_ok=False, half=True

Ensemble Test

Multiple pretrained models may be ensembled together at test and inference time by simply appending extra models to the --weights argument in any existing val.py or detect.py command. This example tests an ensemble of 2 models together:

  • YOLOv5x
  • YOLOv5l6
python val.py --weights yolov5x.pt yolov5l6.pt --data coco.yaml --img 640 --half

Output:

val: data=./data/coco.yaml, weights=['yolov5x.pt', 'yolov5l6.pt'], batch_size=32, imgsz=640, conf_thres=0.001, iou_thres=0.6, task=val, device=, single_cls=False, augment=False, verbose=False, save_txt=False, save_hybrid=False, save_conf=False, save_json=True, project=runs/val, name=exp, exist_ok=False, half=True

Ensemble Inference

Append extra models to the --weights argument to run ensemble inference:

python detect.py --weights yolov5x.pt yolov5l6.pt --img 640 --source data/images

Output:

detect: weights=['yolov5x.pt', 'yolov5l6.pt'], source=data/images, imgsz=640, conf_thres=0.25, iou_thres=0.45, max_det=1000, device=, view_img=False, save_txt=False, save_conf=False, save_crop=False, nosave=False, classes=None, agnostic_nms=False, augment=False, update=False, project=runs/detect, name=exp, exist_ok=False, line_width=3, hide_labels=False, hide_conf=False, half=False
