Image classification is the simplest of the three tasks and involves classifying an entire image into one of a set of
|
|
predefined classes.
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
The output of an image classifier is a single class label and a confidence score. Image
|
|
classification is useful when you need to know only what class an image belongs to and don't need to know where objects
|
|
of that class are located or what their exact shape is.

YOLOv8 Classify models use the `-cls` suffix, i.e. `yolov8n-cls.pt` and are pretrained on [ImageNet](https://github.com/ultralytics/ultralytics/blob/main/ultralytics/cfg/datasets/ImageNet.yaml).
|
|
|
|
## [Models](https://github.com/ultralytics/ultralytics/tree/main/ultralytics/cfg/models/v8)
|
|
|
|
YOLOv8 pretrained Classify models are shown here. Detect, Segment and Pose models are pretrained on
|
|
the [COCO](https://github.com/ultralytics/ultralytics/blob/main/ultralytics/cfg/datasets/coco.yaml) dataset, while Classify
|
|
models are pretrained on
|
|
the [ImageNet](https://github.com/ultralytics/ultralytics/blob/main/ultralytics/cfg/datasets/ImageNet.yaml) dataset.

|
## Train
|
|
|
|
Train YOLOv8n-cls on the MNIST160 dataset for 100 epochs at image size 64. For a full list of available arguments
|
|
see the [Configuration](../usage/cfg.md) page.
|
|
|
|
!!! example ""
|
|
|
|
=== "Python"
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from ultralytics import YOLO
|
|
|
|
# Load a model
|
|
model = YOLO('yolov8n-cls.yaml') # build a new model from YAML
|
|
model = YOLO('yolov8n-cls.pt') # load a pretrained model (recommended for training)
|
|
model = YOLO('yolov8n-cls.yaml').load('yolov8n-cls.pt') # build from YAML and transfer weights
|
|
|
|
# Train the model
|
|
model.train(data='mnist160', epochs=100, imgsz=64)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
=== "CLI"
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Build a new model from YAML and start training from scratch
|
|
yolo classify train data=mnist160 model=yolov8n-cls.yaml epochs=100 imgsz=64
|
|
|
|
# Start training from a pretrained *.pt model
|
|
yolo classify train data=mnist160 model=yolov8n-cls.pt epochs=100 imgsz=64
|
|
|
|
# Build a new model from YAML, transfer pretrained weights to it and start training
|
|
yolo classify train data=mnist160 model=yolov8n-cls.yaml pretrained=yolov8n-cls.pt epochs=100 imgsz=64
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Dataset format
|
|
|
|
YOLO classification dataset format can be found in detail in the [Dataset Guide](../datasets/classify/index.md).
|
|
|
|
## Val
|
|
|
|
Validate trained YOLOv8n-cls model accuracy on the MNIST160 dataset. No argument need to passed as the `model` retains
|
|
it's training `data` and arguments as model attributes.
|
|
|
|
!!! example ""
|
|
|
|
=== "Python"
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from ultralytics import YOLO
|
|
|
|
# Load a model
|
|
model = YOLO('yolov8n-cls.pt') # load an official model
|
|
model = YOLO('path/to/best.pt') # load a custom model
|
|
|
|
# Validate the model
|
|
metrics = model.val() # no arguments needed, dataset and settings remembered
|
|
metrics.top1 # top1 accuracy
|
|
metrics.top5 # top5 accuracy
|
|
```
|
|
=== "CLI"
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
yolo classify val model=yolov8n-cls.pt # val official model
|
|
yolo classify val model=path/to/best.pt # val custom model
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Predict
|
|
|
|
Use a trained YOLOv8n-cls model to run predictions on images.
|
|
|
|
!!! example ""
|
|
|
|
=== "Python"
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from ultralytics import YOLO
|
|
|
|
# Load a model
|
|
model = YOLO('yolov8n-cls.pt') # load an official model
|
|
model = YOLO('path/to/best.pt') # load a custom model
|
|
|
|
# Predict with the model
|
|
results = model('https://ultralytics.com/images/bus.jpg') # predict on an image
|
|
```
|
|
=== "CLI"
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
yolo classify predict model=yolov8n-cls.pt source='https://ultralytics.com/images/bus.jpg' # predict with official model
|
|
yolo classify predict model=path/to/best.pt source='https://ultralytics.com/images/bus.jpg' # predict with custom model
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
See full `predict` mode details in the [Predict](https://docs.ultralytics.com/modes/predict/) page.
|
|
|
|
## Export
|
|
|
|
Export a YOLOv8n-cls model to a different format like ONNX, CoreML, etc.
|
|
|
|
!!! example ""
|
|
|
|
=== "Python"
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
from ultralytics import YOLO
|
|
|
|
# Load a model
|
|
model = YOLO('yolov8n-cls.pt') # load an official model
|
|
model = YOLO('path/to/best.pt') # load a custom trained
|
|
|
|
# Export the model
|
|
model.export(format='onnx')
|
|
```
|
|
=== "CLI"
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
yolo export model=yolov8n-cls.pt format=onnx # export official model
|
|
yolo export model=path/to/best.pt format=onnx # export custom trained model
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Available YOLOv8-cls export formats are in the table below. You can predict or validate directly on exported models,
|
|
i.e. `yolo predict model=yolov8n-cls.onnx`. Usage examples are shown for your model after export completes.
