What to interpret from the label correlogram obtained for an custom dataset generated?
@IlamSaran the label correlogram provides insight into the relationships between different label dimensions in your custom dataset. It can help identify patterns or correlations that may be useful for understanding the distribution of object annotations in your data.
Thank you. You mean patterns or correlations of multi-scale objects or?? could you please clarify. How label correlogram helps to identify patterns or correlations that may be useful for understanding the distribution of multi-class object annotations?
@IlamSaran The label correlogram can help identify patterns or correlations in the distribution of object annotations across different classes and scales. For example, it can reveal if certain classes tend to co-occur frequently in the same image or if certain classes are more likely to appear at specific scales. This information can be valuable for understanding the characteristics of your dataset and for informing decisions related to model training and evaluation.
My DL model for object detection task results with mAP@0.5 = 90% and mAP@0.5:0.95 =78% on my custom created dataset. But the same model results with 96% for mAP@0.5 and only 55% mAP@0.5:0.95 for a public benchmark dataset. Note (both dataset contain same classes). Though mAP@0.5 is greater for public dataset, mAP@0.5:0.95 is COMPARITBELY VERY LESS COMPARED TO CUSTOM dataset. Please justify and can i conclude that my model works better on my custom dataset.
@IlamSaran The difference in mAP@0.5:0.95 between your custom dataset and the public benchmark dataset suggests that while your model is good at detecting objects at a specific IoU threshold (0.5), it may not be as robust across a range of IoU thresholds (0.5 to 0.95). This could be due to various factors such as differences in object scale, aspect ratios, or occlusions between the datasets.
The higher mAP@0.5:0.95 on your custom dataset does indicate that your model is better at generalizing across different levels of localization accuracy on that dataset. However, the lower mAP@0.5:0.95 on the public dataset suggests that there may be room for improvement in the model's ability to accurately localize objects across all scales and aspect ratios present in the public dataset.
In conclusion, your model seems to perform better on your custom dataset, but you should consider investigating the discrepancies on the public dataset to improve the model's robustness across various IoU thresholds.
Can you explain the four images in the above figure of a custom dataset?
Sure! The figure shows a label correlogram of a custom dataset, broken into four sections, each representing a 2D histogram of label dimensions:
This correlogram provides insights into your dataset's internal structure, which can be invaluable for tuning your model or understanding its performance.
Thank you for detailed information on label correlogram.
You're welcome! If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask. Happy coding! π
Can you please clarify the splitting strategy of an custom dataset containing multiple class objects (70:30 or 80:20). Whether randomly split or do we have to follow some structure? If it is random, how realistic the results will be?
@IlamSaran, for splitting your custom dataset with multiple classes, you can go with either a 70:30 or 80:20 train-test split based on your dataset size and diversity. A random split is commonly used and can provide realistically varied results if your dataset is sufficiently large and representative.
However, ensure roughly equal representation of each class in both training and testing sets to avoid biases. This might involve stratified sampling if your classes are unevenly distributed.
A simple way to random split in Python could look like this:
from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split
X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(X, y, test_size=0.2, random_state=42, stratify=y)
Replace X
and y
with your image paths and labels, respectively, and adjust the test_size
as needed.
Happy training! π
Thank you . Further, if the dataset contains images from different cameras, locations and varying lighting conditions, will random split of 70:30 perform well?
Absolutely, a random split can still be effective for a diverse dataset with images from various cameras, locations, and lighting conditions. It ensures that both your training and validation sets contain a mix of these variations, helping your model generalize better across unseen data. Just make sure your dataset is sufficiently large and representative of all classes and conditions. If certain conditions or classes are rare, you might consider stratification to maintain balance across your splits. Happy modeling! π
Thank you very much for detailed information on train and test split.
@IlamSaran you're welcome! If you have any more questions as you move forward or need further clarification on anything else, don't hesitate to ask. Happy training! π
I annotate my image dataset using polygon annotation. The intended task is object detection using Yolov5 model. I have also exported it in yolov5 text format. Now, that the trained model results with a bounding box over the detected objects. Though polygon annotation is used for the ground truth objects , the result appears with bounding box. IS IT CORRECT. How the IoU computations are possible ? Please clarify.
Hello! Yes, it's correct that YOLOv5 uses bounding boxes for detection, even if your original annotations were polygons. When you export your annotations in YOLO format, they are converted to bounding boxes by taking the minimum bounding rectangle that encloses the polygon.
For IoU (Intersection over Union) computations, it compares the overlap between the predicted bounding box and the ground truth bounding box. Even though the original annotations were polygons, the IoU is calculated based on their bounding box representations. This is standard practice for models like YOLOv5 that are designed to predict rectangular bounding boxes.
If you need more detailed guidance on preparing your data or understanding the output, check out the training custom data section here: https://docs.ultralytics.com/yolov5/tutorials/train_custom_data/. Happy training! π
Hi. This is regarding integrating YOLOv5 with ByteTrack tracking algorithm. While YOLOv5 also carries out NMS post processing to remove the redundant/low confidence detections and Byte Track also involves splitting of high confidence and low-confidence detections. how this works? Can you please clarify the process, while integrating YOLOv5 detection model with ByteTrack tracking algorithm.
@IlamSaran hello! Thanks for reaching out with your question about integrating YOLOv5 with the ByteTrack tracking algorithm.
You're correct that YOLOv5 performs Non-Maximum Suppression (NMS) to filter out redundant and low-confidence detections. ByteTrack, on the other hand, splits detections into high-confidence and low-confidence categories to improve tracking performance.
Here's a brief overview of how you can integrate YOLOv5 with ByteTrack:
YOLOv5 Detection: First, YOLOv5 processes the input frames and outputs bounding boxes with associated confidence scores and class labels. This includes the NMS step to remove redundant detections.
ByteTrack Integration: After obtaining the YOLOv5 detections, you can feed these into ByteTrack. ByteTrack will then split the detections into high-confidence and low-confidence categories. High-confidence detections are used to update existing tracks, while low-confidence detections are used to recover tracks that might have been missed in previous frames.
Here's a simplified code example to illustrate the integration:
import torch
from yolov5 import YOLOv5
from bytetrack import ByteTrack
# Load YOLOv5 model
model = YOLOv5('yolov5s.pt')
# Initialize ByteTrack
tracker = ByteTrack()
# Process a video frame-by-frame
for frame in video_frames:
# Perform detection with YOLOv5
results = model(frame)
# Extract bounding boxes, confidence scores, and class labels
bboxes = results.xyxy[:, :4]
scores = results.xyxy[:, 4]
class_ids = results.xyxy[:, 5]
# Integrate with ByteTrack
tracked_objects = tracker.update(bboxes, scores, class_ids)
# Visualize or process tracked objects
visualize(frame, tracked_objects)
This is a high-level overview, and you might need to adjust the integration based on your specific requirements and the ByteTrack implementation details.
If you encounter any issues or need further assistance, please ensure you provide a minimum reproducible code example. This helps us better understand and reproduce the issue. You can find more details on creating a minimum reproducible example here: https://docs.ultralytics.com/help/minimum_reproducible_example.
Also, please verify that you are using the latest versions of torch
and https://github.com/ultralytics/yolov5
to ensure compatibility and access to the latest features and fixes.
Feel free to reach out if you have any more questions. Happy coding! π
Thanks for the detailed explanation. However my doubt is, when NMS removes the low confidence detections, why ByteTrack has to split the detections into high and low confidence detections, as only high confidence detections will be the output from Yolov5 detection.

Hi @IlamSaran,
Thank you for your follow-up question!
You bring up a great point about the interaction between YOLOv5's NMS and ByteTrack's handling of detections. Here's a more detailed explanation:
YOLOv5 NMS: YOLOv5 performs Non-Maximum Suppression (NMS) to remove redundant and low-confidence detections, ensuring that only the most confident and non-overlapping bounding boxes are retained.
ByteTrack's Role: ByteTrack further processes these detections by splitting them into high-confidence and low-confidence categories. The key reason for this additional step is to enhance the tracking performance. While YOLOv5's NMS outputs high-confidence detections, ByteTrack uses the low-confidence detections to help recover tracks that might have been missed in previous frames. This is particularly useful in scenarios where an object might be partially occluded or momentarily lost.
By leveraging both high and low-confidence detections, ByteTrack can maintain more robust and continuous tracking, even in challenging conditions.
If you have any further questions or need additional clarification, feel free to ask. We're here to help! π
Thank you for the clarification. Based on your answer, ByteTrack uses the low confidence detections to help recover tracks that have been missed. So from where will the ByteTrack get input these low confidence detections? As NMS nly outputs high confidence detections and there will be no low confidence detections .

Hi @IlamSaran,
Thank you for your insightful question!
You are correct that YOLOv5's NMS typically outputs only high-confidence detections. However, for integrating with ByteTrack, you can modify the NMS step to retain both high and low-confidence detections. This way, ByteTrack can utilize the low-confidence detections to help recover tracks that might have been missed.
Here's how you can adjust the NMS step to retain both high and low-confidence detections:
Modify NMS Thresholds: Adjust the NMS confidence threshold to a lower value to retain more detections, including those with lower confidence scores.
Separate High and Low-Confidence Detections: After obtaining the detections, you can split them into high and low-confidence categories based on a secondary threshold.
Here's a simplified code example to illustrate this:
import torch
from yolov5 import YOLOv5
from bytetrack import ByteTrack
# Load YOLOv5 model
model = YOLOv5('yolov5s.pt')
# Initialize ByteTrack
tracker = ByteTrack()
# Define confidence thresholds
high_conf_thresh = 0.5
low_conf_thresh = 0.1
# Process a video frame-by-frame
for frame in video_frames:
# Perform detection with YOLOv5
results = model(frame)
# Extract bounding boxes, confidence scores, and class labels
bboxes = results.xyxy[:, :4]
scores = results.xyxy[:, 4]
class_ids = results.xyxy[:, 5]
# Split detections into high and low confidence
high_conf_detections = results.xyxy[scores >= high_conf_thresh]
low_conf_detections = results.xyxy[(scores >= low_conf_thresh) & (scores < high_conf_thresh)]
# Integrate with ByteTrack
tracked_objects = tracker.update(high_conf_detections, low_conf_detections)
# Visualize or process tracked objects
visualize(frame, tracked_objects)
This approach ensures that ByteTrack receives both high and low-confidence detections, allowing it to perform more robust tracking.

Hello. Can you please brief about the metric mAP@0.5:0.95. Is it moving average? and also the importance this metric over mAP@0.5. Also, can we compute these metrics for a Vision transformer (Eg. DETR, Swin transformer) Thanks in advance.
Hello!
Great question! Let's dive into the details of the mAP @IlamSaran.5:0.95 metric and its importance compared to mAP@0.5.
Yes, you can compute these metrics for Vision Transformer models like DETR (DEtection TRansformer) and Swin Transformer. The evaluation process is similar to that for other object detection models. You would typically use a dataset with ground truth annotations and compare the model's predictions against these annotations to compute the mAP metrics.
Here's a high-level example of how you might compute these metrics using a Vision Transformer model:
from some_detection_library import VisionTransformerModel, evaluate_model
from some_dataset_library import load_dataset
# Load your model and dataset
model = VisionTransformerModel('path_to_model_weights')
dataset = load_dataset('path_to_dataset')
# Perform evaluation
results = evaluate_model(model, dataset)
# Extract mAP metrics
mAP_50 = results['mAP@0.5']
mAP_50_95 = results['mAP@0.5:0.95']
print(f"mAP@0.5: {mAP_50}")
print(f"mAP@0.5:0.95: {mAP_50_95}")
This is a simplified example, and the actual implementation may vary depending on the libraries and frameworks you are using.

Hello!
Great question! Let's dive into the details of the mAP @IlamSaran.5:0.95 metric and its importance compared to mAP@0.5.
What is mAP@0.5:0.95?
- mAP stands for Mean Average Precision. It is a common metric used to evaluate the performance of object detection models.
- mAP@0.5 refers to the mean Average Precision calculated at a single Intersection over Union (IoU) threshold of 0.5.
- mAP@0.5:0.95, on the other hand, is a more comprehensive metric. It calculates the mean Average Precision at multiple IoU thresholds ranging from 0.5 to 0.95 in increments of 0.05. This gives a more holistic view of the model's performance across different levels of localization precision.
Importance of mAP@0.5:0.95 over mAP@0.5
- mAP@0.5 is easier to achieve because it only requires the predicted bounding boxes to overlap with the ground truth by 50%.
- mAP@0.5:0.95 is more stringent and provides a better assessment of the model's ability to precisely localize objects. It ensures that the model is not only detecting objects but also accurately predicting their boundaries.
Computing mAP for Vision Transformers
Yes, you can compute these metrics for Vision Transformer models like DETR (DEtection TRansformer) and Swin Transformer. The evaluation process is similar to that for other object detection models. You would typically use a dataset with ground truth annotations and compare the model's predictions against these annotations to compute the mAP metrics.
Here's a high-level example of how you might compute these metrics using a Vision Transformer model:
from some_detection_library import VisionTransformerModel, evaluate_model from some_dataset_library import load_dataset # Load your model and dataset model = VisionTransformerModel('path_to_model_weights') dataset = load_dataset('path_to_dataset') # Perform evaluation results = evaluate_model(model, dataset) # Extract mAP metrics mAP_50 = results['mAP@0.5'] mAP_50_95 = results['mAP@0.5:0.95'] print(f"mAP@0.5: {mAP_50}") print(f"mAP@0.5:0.95: {mAP_50_95}")
This is a simplified example, and the actual implementation may vary depending on the libraries and frameworks you are using.
If you have any further questions or need more details, feel free to ask. We're here to help! π
Thank you very much the detailed explanation.
Hello!
You're very welcome! I'm glad you found the explanation helpful. π
To add a bit more context, the mAP @IlamSaran.5:0.95 metric is indeed a more rigorous and informative measure of a model's performance, especially in scenarios where precise localization is crucial. It provides a balanced view by considering multiple IoU thresholds, making it a preferred choice for evaluating modern object detection models.
When working with Vision Transformers like DETR or Swin Transformer, you can typically use the evaluation scripts provided by the respective repositories. These scripts are designed to compute mAP metrics and other evaluation metrics efficiently.
For example, if you're using DETR, you can follow their evaluation guidelines:
# Clone the DETR repository
git clone https://github.com/facebookresearch/detr.git
cd detr
# Install the required dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt
# Evaluate the model on the COCO dataset
python3 -m torch.distributed.launch --nproc_per_node=NUM_GPUS --use_env main.py --coco_path /path/to/coco --eval
This will compute the mAP@0.5:0.95 along with other metrics.
If you encounter any issues or bugs while computing these metrics, please ensure that you are using the latest versions of the packages and that the issue is reproducible with the latest codebase. This helps in diagnosing and resolving the problem more effectively.

Hello Mr. Glenn This is a follow-up question . It is said that mAP@0.5:0.95 is more stringent and provides a better assessment of the model's ability to precisely localize objects. Can you please give a deep insight on how this metric assures precise localization of objects. And comment its impact on classification accuracy of the multiple objects. Thank you..
Hello @IlamSaran,
Thank you for your follow-up question! I'm happy to provide more insights into how the mAP@0.5:0.95 metric ensures precise localization and its impact on classification accuracy.
1. Multiple IoU Thresholds:
2. Stringency and Precision:
3. Holistic Performance Evaluation:
1. Localization and Classification:
2. Balanced Metric:
To illustrate, consider two models:
Model B would have a higher mAP@0.5:0.95, reflecting its superior performance in both detection and localization.
In summary, mAP@0.5:0.95 is a stringent and comprehensive metric that ensures models are evaluated on their ability to both detect and precisely localize objects. This leads to better overall performance, including improved classification accuracy.

Hi Mr. Gelnn Thank you very much for giving deep insight about my previous queries that will greatly support my research findings. Recently, i came across a metric F1-beta score. So what is what is F1-beta score? Difference between F1-score and F-beta score. How to set the beta value for computing it. Can you please share some valuable information on this regard. Thank you.
Hello @IlamSaran,
Thank you for your kind words! I'm glad the previous insights were helpful for your research. π
1. F1 Score:
2. F-beta Score:
Here's a simple example of how you might compute the F-beta score using Python:
from sklearn.metrics import fbeta_score
# Example precision and recall values
precision = 0.8
recall = 0.6
# Compute F1 score (beta=1)
f1_score = fbeta_score([1, 1, 0, 0], [1, 0, 1, 1], beta=1)
print(f"F1 Score: {f1_score}")
# Compute F-beta score with beta=2 (favoring recall)
f2_score = fbeta_score([1, 1, 0, 0], [1, 0, 1, 1], beta=2)
print(f"F2 Score: {f2_score}")
# Compute F-beta score with beta=0.5 (favoring precision)
f05_score = fbeta_score([1, 1, 0, 0], [1, 0, 1, 1], beta=0.5)
print(f"F0.5 Score: {f05_score}")
The F-beta score is a flexible metric that allows you to tailor the balance between Precision and Recall to suit your specific needs. By adjusting the Ξ² value, you can emphasize the aspect that is more critical for your application.

Hello Mr. Glenn
Thank you very much for your prompt reply. Here are some more queries regarding the learning rate. The initial learning rate (lr0) required to be pre-set before training for optimizers such as SGD, ADAM varies. why?
Can you please give details on how to set initial learning rates, whether I can set same lr0 for all optimizers or different.
Hello,
The initial learning rate (lr0) varies for different optimizers because each optimizer has unique characteristics and convergence behaviors. For instance, SGD typically requires a smaller learning rate compared to Adam, which can handle larger learning rates due to its adaptive nature. It's generally recommended to start with the default values provided in the YOLOv5 repository and adjust based on your specific dataset and training results. If you have further questions, please refer to the YOLOv5 documentation for detailed guidance.
Thank you very much for the information.
You're welcome! If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask.
Hi This question is regarding the train and test split. Initially we split the data samples into either 70:30 or 80:20 train/test split ratio. But only after splitting, the 70 % train data is subjected to different data augmentation techniques to increase the volume of training samples. Now that training set contains more no. of training samples, how the 70:30 maintained?
Hi,
When you apply data augmentation, the original 70:30 train/test split ratio is maintained because the augmentation techniques generate variations of the existing training samples rather than adding new, unique samples. The test set remains unchanged, ensuring the split ratio is preserved. If you have further questions, please refer to the YOLOv5 documentation for detailed guidance.
Hi
Thank you for your detailed explanation regarding my previous question. It was incredibly helpful. I have another question. While working on multi-class object detection say (4 fruit classes: apple, orange, banana and guava). Now while calculating the accuracy , we use TP, FP and FN in the confusion matrix as per yolov5 documentation. What about TN? Do we consider TN in the confusion matrix? Please clarify.
. Hi Glenn This is follow-up of the previous question How to interpret this confusion matrix. Does confusion matrix majorly contribute to evaluate an multi-class object detection model
Hi,
In multi-class object detection, the confusion matrix helps evaluate model performance by showing the counts of true positives (TP), false positives (FP), and false negatives (FN) for each class. True negatives (TN) are typically not included in object detection confusion matrices since they represent the absence of objects, which is less informative for this task. The confusion matrix is a valuable tool for understanding class-specific performance and identifying areas for improvement.
Hi Thanks a lot. A more detailed information will help me to conclude my research results. In a multi-class object detection, What are FP and FN? In literatures, Confusion matrix contains (TP, FP.FN and TN) can we neglect TN in computing the accuracy metrics. Please justify .
Hi,
In multi-class object detection, FP (False Positives) are incorrect detections, and FN (False Negatives) are missed detections. TN (True Negatives) are typically not used in object detection metrics as they represent the absence of objects. Metrics like precision, recall, and mAP focus on TP, FP, and FN to evaluate model performance effectively.
Can you please explain what the circled values mean in a multi-class classification. Also, how the values 0.96 for car, 0.96 for bus and 0.98 for person are computed? Kindly help me in this regard.
The circled values in the confusion matrix represent the precision for each class. Precision is calculated as TP / (TP + FP). For example, a precision of 0.96 for the car class means that 96% of the detected cars are true positives. The same calculation applies to the bus and person classes.
