Object Detection Models

1. YOLO (You Only Look Once)

A real-time object detection system famous for its speed and accuracy. YOLO models detect multiple objects in images and videos simultaneously.

• Repo: ultralytics/yolov5
• Highlights: Fast inference, multiple model sizes (nano to large), easy integration.
• Python Usage: Uses PyTorch for training and inference.

from yolov5 import YOLOv5

model = YOLOv5("yolov5s.pt")  # Load a pre-trained model
results = model.predict("image.jpg")
results.show()
