Train Your YOLOv5 Model to Detect Custom Objects

TLDRLearn how to train a YOLOv5 model to detect custom objects by creating a dataset, labeling the images, and running the training process. Discover the importance of adjusting training parameters for better results.

Key insights

💡Training a YOLOv5 model requires creating a dataset and labeling the images.

🧩Labeling the images involves drawing bounding boxes around the objects of interest.

📚The labeled images should be organized into separate train and validation folders.

📊Adjusting the batch size and number of epochs can improve the model's accuracy.

👁️Running the trained model on a video requires saving the weights and modifying the prediction code.

Q&A

How do I create a dataset for training a YOLOv5 model?

You can create a dataset by collecting images related to your object of interest and organizing them into train and validation folders.

What is the process of labeling images?

Labeling involves drawing bounding boxes around the objects of interest in the images.

Why is it important to separate images into train and validation folders?

Separating images allows you to train the model on a set of images and validate its performance on a separate set.

How can adjusting the batch size and number of epochs improve model accuracy?

By experimenting with different batch sizes and epochs, you can find the optimal values that lead to better model performance.

What modifications are required to run the trained model on a video?

You need to save the weights of the trained model and modify the prediction code to process the video frames.
