Object detection and instance segmentation are by far the most important applications in Computer Vision. However, the detection of small objects and inference on large images still need to be improved in practical usage. Here comes the SAHI to help developers overcome these real-world problems with many vision utilities.
Command | Description |
---|---|
predict | perform sliced/standard video/image prediction using any yolov5/mmdet/detectron2/huggingface model |
predict-fiftyone | perform sliced/standard prediction using any yolov5/mmdet/detectron2/huggingface model and explore results in fiftyone app |
coco slice | automatically slice COCO annotation and image files |
coco fiftyone | explore multiple prediction results on your COCO dataset with fiftyone ui ordered by number of misdetections |
coco evaluate | evaluate classwise COCO AP and AR for given predictions and ground truth |
coco analyse | calculate and export many error analysis plots |
coco yolov5 | automatically convert any COCO dataset to yolov5 format |

sahi
library currently supports all YOLOv5 models, MMDetection models, Detectron2 models, and HuggingFace object detection models. Moreover, it is easy to add new frameworks.
All you need to do is, create a new .py file under sahi/models/ folder and create a new class in that .py file that implements DetectionModel class. You can take the MMDetection wrapper or YOLOv5 wrapper as a reference.
