# Install the ultralytics package
pip install ultralytics

📚 Documentation

See the YOLOv5 Docs for full documentation on training, testing, and deployment. See below for quickstart examples.

Install

Clone the repository and install dependencies from requirements.txt in a Python>=3.8.0 environment. Ensure you have PyTorch>=1.8 installed.

# Clone the YOLOv5 repository
git clone https://github.com/ultralytics/yolov5

# Navigate to the cloned directory
cd yolov5

# Install required packages
pip install -r requirements.txt

Inference with PyTorch Hub

Use YOLOv5 via PyTorch Hub for inference. Models are automatically downloaded from the latest YOLOv5 release.

import torch

# Load a YOLOv5 model (options: yolov5n, yolov5s, yolov5m, yolov5l, yolov5x)
model = torch.hub.load("ultralytics/yolov5", "yolov5s")  # Default: yolov5s

# Define the input image source (URL, local file, PIL image, OpenCV frame, numpy array, or list)
img = "https://ultralytics.com/images/zidane.jpg"  # Example image

# Perform inference (handles batching, resizing, normalization automatically)
results = model(img)

# Process the results (options: .print(), .show(), .save(), .crop(), .pandas())
results.print()  # Print results to console
results.show()  # Display results in a window
results.save()  # Save results to runs/detect/exp

Inference with detect.py

The detect.py script runs inference on various sources. It automatically downloads models from the latest YOLOv5 release and saves the results to the runs/detect directory.

# Run inference using a webcam
python detect.py --weights yolov5s.pt --source 0

# Run inference on a local image file
python detect.py --weights yolov5s.pt --source img.jpg

# Run inference on a local video file
python detect.py --weights yolov5s.pt --source vid.mp4

# Run inference on a screen capture
python detect.py --weights yolov5s.pt --source screen

# Run inference on a directory of images
python detect.py --weights yolov5s.pt --source path/to/images/

# Run inference on a text file listing image paths
python detect.py --weights yolov5s.pt --source list.txt

# Run inference on a text file listing stream URLs
python detect.py --weights yolov5s.pt --source list.streams

# Run inference using a glob pattern for images
python detect.py --weights yolov5s.pt --source 'path/to/*.jpg'

# Run inference on a YouTube video URL
python detect.py --weights yolov5s.pt --source 'https://youtu.be/LNwODJXcvt4'

# Run inference on an RTSP, RTMP, or HTTP stream
python detect.py --weights yolov5s.pt --source 'rtsp://example.com/media.mp4'

Training

The commands below demonstrate how to reproduce YOLOv5 COCO dataset results. Both models and datasets are downloaded automatically from the latest YOLOv5 release. Training times for YOLOv5n/s/m/l/x are approximately 1/2/4/6/8 days on a single V100 GPU. Using Multi-GPU training can significantly reduce training time. Use the largest --batch-size your hardware allows, or use --batch-size -1 for YOLOv5 AutoBatch. The batch sizes shown below are for V100-16GB GPUs.
