pip install ultralytics

Documentation

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

Install

Clone repo and install requirements.txt in a Python>=3.8.0 environment, including PyTorch>=1.8.

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

Inference

YOLOv5 PyTorch Hub inference. Models download automatically from the latest YOLOv5 release.

import torch

# Model
model = torch.hub.load("ultralytics/yolov5", "yolov5s")  # or yolov5n - yolov5x6, custom

# Images
img = "https://ultralytics.com/images/zidane.jpg"  # or file, Path, PIL, OpenCV, numpy, list

# Inference
results = model(img)

# Results
results.print()  # or .show(), .save(), .crop(), .pandas(), etc.

Inference with detect.py

detect.py runs inference on a variety of sources, downloading models automatically from the latest YOLOv5 release and saving results to runs/detect.
