I am trying to do a traffic light detection project on google colab and during training I am encountering path related errors. What I had in my .yaml file is configuration of train, val, test folders each containing images, labels folders with paths as /content/drive/MyDrive/dataset/train/images and such is the same for /content/..../train/labels. Now what should there exactly be for it to run without errors? Would you have an idea? What paths I should add in every case? Any suggestions from anyone?

1- Yolov8 is trained on images only. Train your model on images and then you can detect objects from videos also. 2- Create a dataset for all the objects at once. And then train your model on that dataset. No need to train model for separate objects one by one.

hi, I have a question. if I divide the dataset into training and testing only, is it necessary to run the validation part? and if not, during inference how to find out the mAP?

[@CodeWithAarohi]

Skipping validation means you won't be monitoring the model's performance during training. You should only skip this part if you're confident in your training procedure and the dataset quality. Regarding inference and calculating mAP without a validation set- 1-Run inference on your test dataset and get the predicted bounding boxes. 2- Calculate Intersection over Union (IoU) between predicted bounding boxes and ground truth bounding boxes. 3- Use the IoU values to compute Precision-Recall curves for each class. 4- Compute Average Precision (AP) for each class. 5- Calculate mAP by taking the mean of AP across all classes. Here is a code for validation. you can try with this code: github.com/ultralytics/ultralytics/blob/main/ultralytics/models/yolo/detect/val.py

[@allea-zb7kl]

can you explain the labels annotation in details? Is it x,y of the top left corner + width and height normalized?

[@CodeWithAarohi]

x-coordinate of the center: This is the x-coordinate of the center of the bounding box relative to the width of the image. y-coordinate of the center: This is the y-coordinate of the center of the bounding box relative to the height of the image. Width of the bounding box: This is the width of the bounding box relative to the width of the image. Height of the bounding box: This is the height of the bounding box relative to the height of the image. These coordinates are often normalized to the range [0, 1], where (0, 0) represents the top-left corner of the image, and (1, 1) represents the bottom-right corner.

[@CodeWithAarohi]

mAP50 is the mean Average Precision at a 50% IoU (Intersection over Union) threshold. IoU is a measure of the overlap between the predicted bounding box and the ground truth bounding box. A threshold of 50% means that the predicted bounding box is considered a correct detection if it overlaps with the ground truth bounding box by at least 50%. mAP50-95 is the mean Average Precision averaged over the range of IoU thresholds from 50% to 95%, with a step size of 5%.

[@CodeWithAarohi]

Confusion Matrix: True Positive (TP): Correctly predicted positive instances. True Negative (TN): Correctly predicted negative instances. False Positive (FP): Incorrectly predicted positive instances. False Negative (FN): Incorrectly predicted negative instances. Accuracy: (TP + TN) / (TP + TN + FP + FN) Precision: TP / (TP + FP) Recall (Sensitivity): TP / (TP + FN) F1 Score: 2 * (Precision * Recall) / (Precision + Recall) Use these metrics to gauge the model's performance, considering the balance between precision and recall. Loss Charts (e.g., Box Loss): Training Loss: Measures how well the model is learning during training. A decrease indicates learning. Validation/Test Loss: Indicates how well the model generalizes to new data. Monitor for overfitting (training loss significantly lower than validation loss). Understanding these metrics helps you assess the model's accuracy, ability to identify positives/negatives, and potential overfitting.

To compile YOLOv8 for offline use doesn't involve a traditional compilation process as you might see with some programming languages.

To calculate metrics such as accuracy, specificity, and sensitivity, you'll need a confusion matrix which we already have. Accuracy = (True Positives + True Negatives) / Total Predictions Sensitivity = True Positives / (True Positives + False Negatives) Specificity = True Negatives / (True Negatives + False Positives) Precision = True Positives / (True Positives + False Positives)

​@@CodeWithAarohi Thanks a lot for replying !! Yea, I can calculate final value manually. But if i want to draw graph/curve, then how can i extract values at every epochs ?? Also, how to plot the ROC curve ??

[@CodeWithAarohi]

@@siddharthabhat2825 use results.txt file. All the results are saved there. Using this results.txt file. You can plot the graphs for all the epochs.

what annotation tools that u used for?

[@CodeWithAarohi]

I took this dataset from roboflow universe. But if you want to annotate then you can use tools like Labelimg. You can also use roboflow to annotate your dataset.

can i use .json files instead of .txt as the annotations files in training yolov8 on custom dataset?

[@CodeWithAarohi]

No, YOLOv8 does not support JSON files as annotation files for training on a custom dataset

@@CodeWithAarohi okay. Can you show a sample of the text file? So I can try to create txt files like that for my training

Dear Aarohi. How could I activate nvidia cuda for yolov8?

[@CodeWithAarohi]

# Train the model with 2 GPUs results = model.train(data='coco128.yaml', epochs=100, imgsz=640, device=[0, 1]) . If you are using single gpu the write device=0

[@razorphone77]

Isnt the point that we use pretrained weights with a custom dataset? ie n, s, m, l etc. in v5 you had to specify which you wanted to use. What does model = YOLO() use?

[@CodeWithAarohi]

model = YOLO() creates an instance of the YOLO object detection model. And this is how you use it: model = YOLO("yolov8n.yaml") # build a new model from scratch model = YOLO("yolov8n.pt") # load a pretrained model (recommended for training)

how did you connect your local dataset to jupyter?

[@CodeWithAarohi]

Just paste the dataset and jupyter notebook in same folder and then provide the path of your dataset in dataset.yaml file

Great video. One Question. Where/how did you get the labels.cache file?

When you start training, in the first few seconds it generate labels.cache
