Callbacks

Ultralytics framework supports callbacks as entry points in strategic stages of train, val, export, and predict modes. Each callback accepts a Trainer, Validator, or Predictor object depending on the operation type. All properties of these objects can be found in Reference section of the docs.

Examples

Returning additional information with Prediction

In this example, we want to return the original frame with each result object. Here's how we can do that

def on_predict_batch_end(predictor):
    # results -> List[batch_size]
    _, _, im0s, _, _ = predictor.batch
    im0s = im0s if isinstance(im0s, list) else [im0s]
    predictor.results = zip(predictor.results, im0s)

model = YOLO(f"yolov8n.pt")
model.add_callback("on_predict_batch_end", on_predict_batch_end)
for (result, frame) in model.track/predict():
    pass
