📝 Usage Examples

Basic Detection

from ultralytics import YOLO
import cv2

# Load model
model = YOLO('runs/detect/yolov8m_stage2_improved/weights/best.pt')

# Detect objects in image
results = model('path/to/image.jpg')

# Process results
for result in results:
    boxes = result.boxes
    for box in boxes:
        x1, y1, x2, y2 = box.xyxy[0]
        conf = box.conf[0]
        cls = int(box.cls[0])
        print(f"Class: {cls}, Confidence: {conf:.2f}")

Video Processing

# Process video file
results = model('input and output/test_video.mp4', save=True, save_txt=True)
