Welcome to the official implementation of YOLOv7 and YOLOv9. This repository will contains the complete codebase, pre-trained models, and detailed instructions for training and deploying YOLOv9.

## TL;DR
- This is the official YOLO model implementation with an MIT License.
- For quick deployment: you can enter directly in the terminal:
```shell
pip install git+git@github.com:WongKinYiu/YOLO.git
yolo task=inference task.source=0 # source could be a single file, video, image folder, webcam ID
```

## Task
These are simple examples. For more customization details, please refer to [Notebooks](examples) and lower-level modifications **[HOWTO](docs/HOWTO.md)**.

## Training
To train YOLO on your dataset:

1. Modify the configuration file `data/config.yaml` to point to your dataset.
2. Run the training script:
```shell
python yolo/lazy.py task=train task.data.batch_size=8 model=v9-c
```

### Transfer Learning
To perform transfer learning with YOLOv9:
```shell
python yolo/lazy.py task=train task.data.batch_size=8 model=v9-c dataset={dataset_config} device={cpu, mps, cuda}
```

### Inference
To evaluate the model performance, use:
```shell
python yolo/lazy.py task=inference weight=weights/v9-c.pt model=v9-c task.fast_inference=deploy # use deploy weight
python yolo/lazy.py task=inference # if cloned from GitHub
yolo task=inference task.data.source={Any} # if pip installed
```

### Validation [WIP]
To validate the model performance, use:
```shell
# Work In Progress...
```
