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

from ultralytics import YOLO


def on_predict_batch_end(predictor):
    # Retrieve the batch data
    _, image, _, _ = predictor.batch

    # Ensure that image is a list
    image = image if isinstance(image, list) else [image]

    # Combine the prediction results with the corresponding frames
    predictor.results = zip(predictor.results, image)


# Create a YOLO model instance
model = YOLO(f'yolov8n.pt')

# Add the custom callback to the model
model.add_callback("on_predict_batch_end", on_predict_batch_end)

# Iterate through the results and frames
for (result, frame) in model.predict():  # or model.track()
    pass

All callbacks

Here are all supported callbacks. See callbacks source code for additional details.

Trainer Callbacks
