The commands below reproduce YOLOv5 COCO results. Models and datasets download automatically from the latest YOLOv5 release. Training times for YOLOv5n/s/m/l/x are 1/2/4/6/8 days on a V100 GPU (Multi-GPU times faster). Use the largest --batch-size possible, or pass --batch-size -1 for YOLOv5 AutoBatch. Batch sizes shown for V100-16GB.

• COCO AP val denotes [email protected]:0.95 metric measured on the 5000-image COCO val2017 dataset over various inference sizes from 256 to 1536.
• GPU Speed measures average inference time per image on COCO val2017 dataset using a AWS p3.2xlarge V100 instance at batch-size 32.

• All checkpoints are trained to 300 epochs with default settings. Nano and Small models use hyp.scratch-low.yaml hyps, all others use hyp.scratch-high.yaml.
• mAP^val values are for single-model single-scale on COCO val2017 dataset.

We trained YOLOv5 segmentations models on COCO for 300 epochs at image size 640 using A100 GPUs. We exported all models to ONNX FP32 for CPU speed tests and to TensorRT FP16 for GPU speed tests. We ran all speed tests on Google Colab Pro notebooks for easy reproducibility.

• All checkpoints are trained to 300 epochs with SGD optimizer with lr0=0.01 and weight_decay=5e-5 at image size 640 and all default settings.

Segmentation Usage Examples  

YOLOv5 segmentation training supports auto-download COCO128-seg segmentation dataset with --data coco128-seg.yaml argument and manual download of COCO-segments dataset with bash data/scripts/get_coco.sh --train --val --segments and then python train.py --data coco.yaml.

# Single-GPU
python segment/train.py --data coco128-seg.yaml --weights yolov5s-seg.pt --img 640

# Multi-GPU DDP
python -m torch.distributed.run --nproc_per_node 4 --master_port 1 segment/train.py --data coco128-seg.yaml --weights yolov5s-seg.pt --img 640 --device 0,1,2,3

Validate YOLOv5s-seg mask mAP on COCO dataset:

bash data/scripts/get_coco.sh --val --segments  # download COCO val segments split (780MB, 5000 images)
python segment/val.py --weights yolov5s-seg.pt --data coco.yaml --img 640  # validate

Use pretrained YOLOv5m-seg.pt to predict bus.jpg:

python segment/predict.py --weights yolov5m-seg.pt --source data/images/bus.jpg

model = torch.hub.load(
    "ultralytics/yolov5", "custom", "yolov5m-seg.pt"
)  # load from PyTorch Hub (WARNING: inference not yet supported)

Export YOLOv5s-seg model to ONNX and TensorRT:

python export.py --weights yolov5s-seg.pt --include onnx engine --img 640 --device 0

We trained YOLOv5-cls classification models on ImageNet for 90 epochs using a 4xA100 instance, and we trained ResNet and EfficientNet models alongside with the same default training settings to compare. We exported all models to ONNX FP32 for CPU speed tests and to TensorRT FP16 for GPU speed tests. We ran all speed tests on Google Colab Pro for easy reproducibility.

Classification Usage Examples  

YOLOv5 classification training supports auto-download of MNIST, Fashion-MNIST, CIFAR10, CIFAR100, Imagenette, Imagewoof, and ImageNet datasets with the --data argument. To start training on MNIST for example use --data mnist.

# Single-GPU
python classify/train.py --model yolov5s-cls.pt --data cifar100 --epochs 5 --img 224 --batch 128

# Multi-GPU DDP
python -m torch.distributed.run --nproc_per_node 4 --master_port 1 classify/train.py --model yolov5s-cls.pt --data imagenet --epochs 5 --img 224 --device 0,1,2,3

Validate YOLOv5m-cls accuracy on ImageNet-1k dataset:

bash data/scripts/get_imagenet.sh --val  # download ImageNet val split (6.3G, 50000 images)
python classify/val.py --weights yolov5m-cls.pt --data ../datasets/imagenet --img 224  # validate

Use pretrained YOLOv5s-cls.pt to predict bus.jpg:

python classify/predict.py --weights yolov5s-cls.pt --source data/images/bus.jpg

model = torch.hub.load("ultralytics/yolov5", "custom", "yolov5s-cls.pt")  # load from PyTorch Hub

Export a group of trained YOLOv5s-cls, ResNet and EfficientNet models to ONNX and TensorRT:

python export.py --weights yolov5s-cls.pt resnet50.pt efficientnet_b0.pt --include onnx engine --img 224
