Introduction

Object detection answers the question, "What is in the image?" This tutorial uses YOLO for efficient and accurate detection and segmentation. For more details, watch this YouTube Video.

---

Requirements

Install the necessary libraries before starting:

• ultralytics (latest version)
• torch
• numpy
• Pillow
• matplotlib

pip install ultralytics torch numpy Pillow matplotlib

---

Setup

1. Load and preprocess images using the provided helper functions.
2. Utilize YOLO models for detection and segmentation.
3. Configure confidence and IoU thresholds for better accuracy.

---

Object Detection

1. Preparing the Image: Load and preprocess input images.
2. Performing Detection: Use a pretrained YOLO model to detect objects.
3. Visualizing Results: Overlay bounding boxes, labels, and confidence scores on the input image.

---

Instance Segmentation

1. Performing Segmentation: Extract instance masks, bounding boxes, and labels.
2. Visualizing Segmentation: Save and display results with segmentation overlays.

Key function:

def perform_segmentation(model, image):
    # Perform instance segmentation on the input image
    pass

---

Results

All detection and segmentation results, including processed images, will be saved for further analysis. The tutorial also demonstrates how to adjust thresholds to refine the outcomes.
