Not only can YOLOV8 detect the objects in an image, it can also segment and classify the objects. YOLOv8 Object Detector - This video will teach how to train a Custom YOLOv8 Object Detector. We have covered the following topics: ✅What's new in YOLOv8? ✅Models Available in YOLOv8 ✅Features Provided by YOLOv8 ✅Custom Object Detection Training using YOLOv8 ✅Approach for Custom Training ✅The Custom Training Code ✅Preparing the Pothole Detection Dataset ✅Training the Nano Model (yolov8n) What’s New in YOLOv8? Ultralytics have released a completely new repository for YOLO Models. It is built as a unified framework for training Object Detection, Instance Segmentation, and Image Classification models. Here are some key features about the new release: ✅User-friendly API (Command Line + Python). ✅Faster and More Accurate. ✅Supports Object Detection, Instance Segmentation, Image Classification. ✅Extensible to all previous versions. ✅New Backbone network. ✅New Anchor-Free head. ✅New Loss Function. ✅YOLOv8 is also highly efficient and flexible supporting numerous export formats and the model can run on CPUs & GPUs. ⭐️ Time Stamps:⭐️ 00:00-00:15: Introduction 00:15-01:03: YOLOv8 Models 01:03-01:29: References 01:29-01:54: Train & Valid 01:54-02:23: Fine-tuning 02:23-02:40: Importing Libraries 02:40-03:26: Downloading Datasets 03:26-04:47: Visualizing Images 04:47-05:13: Dataset Yaml File 05:13-08:10: CLI Method 08:10-08:20: SGD optimizer 08:20-08:37: Warnings 08:37-10:00: Metrics 10:00-10:31: Evaluation 10:31-11:00: Inference 11:00-11:15: Visualize 11:15-11:37: Outro Resources: 🎵 YOLO Master Class Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfYPZalDvZDLALsG9o-cjwNelh-oW9Xc4 ☢️ GitHub Code Link https://github.com/spmallick/learnopencv/tree/master/Train-YOLOv8-on-Custom-Dataset-A-Complete-Tutorial 🖥️ On our blog - https://learnopencv.com we also share tutorials and code on topics like Image Processing, Image Classification, Object Detection, Face Detection, Face Recognition, YOLO, Segmentation, Pose Estimation, and many more using OpenCV(Python/C++), PyTorch, and TensorFlow. 🤖 Learn from the experts on AI: Computer Vision and AI Courses YOU have an opportunity to join the over 5300+ (and counting) researchers, engineers, and students that have benefited from these courses and take your knowledge of computer vision, AI, and deep learning to the next level.🤖 https://opencv.org/courses #️⃣ Connect with Us #️⃣ 📝 Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/satyamallick/ 📱 Twitter: https://twitter.com/LearnOpenCV 🔊 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100064001437329 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/learnopencv/ 🔗 Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/user/spmallick 🔖Hashtags🔖 #Yolov8 #Yolo #yolomodels #objectdetection #deeplearning #computervision #learnopencv #opencv
