YOLOv8 may be run in any of the following up-to-date verified environments (with all dependencies including CUDA/CUDNN, Python and PyTorch preinstalled):
If this badge is green, all Ultralytics CI tests are currently passing. CI tests verify correct operation of all YOLOv8 Modes and Tasks on macOS, Windows, and Ubuntu every 24 hours and on every commit.
For recognizing different colors of small targets like droplets, YOLOv8 would be a better choice due to its improved architecture, which generally offers better performance, especially for tasks involving small or detailed object detection.
You should focus on training your model with a well-labeled dataset where droplets are accurately annotated with color labels. Here's a simple example of how you might set up your model for training with YOLOv8:
yolo detect train data=droplets.yaml model=yolov8n.yaml epochs=100 imgsz=640
Ensure your droplets.yaml
includes accurate path settings and that each droplet color is a separate class if they need individual recognition. This will help your YOLOv8 model learn to distinguish between different colors more effectively. π¨
Feel free to experiment with different configurations and hyperparameters to optimize detection performance.
Thank you for your help. Do I need to set the hyperparameter hsv to 0 due to the small color difference between my different droplets.
@smallMantou hello!
Setting the hsv_h
, hsv_s
, and hsv_v
hyperparameters to 0
will effectively disable color augmentation during training, which might be beneficial if the color distinction between droplets is crucial and subtle. However, it's important to carefully consider this because color augmentation can also help prevent overfitting by providing variety in training data.
You might want to experiment with low values first before turning it off entirely. Hereβs how you can adjust these settings in your .yaml
config file:
hsv_h: 0.1 # adjust the hue by a small percentage
hsv_s: 0.1 # adjust the saturation by a small percentage
hsv_v: 0.1 # adjust the value by a small percentage
Try different values and see which offers the best performance! π
