YOLOv8 with SAHI (Inference on Video)

SAHI is designed to optimize object detection algorithms for large-scale and high-resolution imagery. It partitions images into manageable slices, performs object detection on each slice, and then stitches the results back together. This tutorial will guide you through the process of running YOLOv8 inference on video files with the aid of SAHI.

Table of Contents

Step 1: Install the Required Libraries

Clone the repository, install dependencies and cd to this local directory for commands in Step 2.

# Clone ultralytics repo
git clone https://github.com/ultralytics/ultralytics

# Install dependencies
pip install sahi ultralytics

# cd to local directory
cd ultralytics/examples/YOLOv8-SAHI-Inference-Video

Step 2: Run the Inference with SAHI using Ultralytics YOLOv8

Here are the basic commands for running the inference:

#if you want to save results
python yolov8_sahi.py --source "path/to/video.mp4" --save-img

#if you want to change model file
python yolov8_sahi.py --source "path/to/video.mp4" --save-img --weights "yolov8n.pt"

Usage Options

  • --source: Specifies the path to the video file you want to run inference on.
  • --save-img: Flag to save the detection results as images.
  • --weights: Specifies a different YOLOv8 model file (e.g., yolov8n.pt, yolov8s.pt, yolov8m.pt, yolov8l.pt, yolov8x.pt).

FAQ

1. What is SAHI?

SAHI stands for Slicing, Analysis, and Healing of Images. It is a library designed to optimize object detection algorithms for large-scale and high-resolution images. The library source code is available on GitHub.

2. Why use SAHI with YOLOv8?

SAHI can handle large-scale images by slicing them into smaller, more manageable sizes without compromising the detection quality. This makes it a great companion to YOLOv8, especially when working with high-resolution videos.

3. How do I debug issues?

You can add the --debug flag to your command to print out more information during inference:

python yolov8_sahi.py --source "path to video file" --debug

4. Can I use other YOLO versions?

Yes, you can specify different YOLO model weights using the --weights option.

5. Where can I find more information?
