YoloDotNet v2.0

YoloDotNet is a C# .NET 8 implementation of Yolov8 & Yolov10 for real-time detection of objects in images and videos using ML.NET and ONNX runtime, with GPU acceleration using CUDA.

YoloDotNet supports the following:

  ✓   Classification   Categorize an image
  ✓   Object Detection   Detect multiple objects in a single image
  ✓   OBB Detection   OBB (Oriented Bounding Box)
  ✓   Segmentation   Separate detected objects using pixel masks
  ✓   Pose Estimation   Identifying location of specific keypoints in an image

Batteries not included ;)

What's new in YoloDotNet v2.0?

YoloDotNet 2.0 is a Speed Demon release where the main focus has been on supercharging performance to bring you the fastest and most efficient version yet. With major code optimizations, a switch to SkiaSharp for lightning-fast image processing, and added support for Yolov10 as a little extra ;) this release is set to redefine your YoloDotNet experience:

  • Speed Demon Mode: YoloDotNet is now faster than ever!
  • Code Overhaul: Tinkered and tweaked under the hood for blazing-fast execution.
  • Swapped Image Libraries: Out with ImageSharp, in with SkiaSharp. The result? Crazy fast image processing!
  • Memory Efficiency: Brutally more memory efficient, making the most of your system's resources.
  • Optimized GC Performance Greatly reduced GC pressure resulting in a sweet performance boost (thanks to louislewis2).
  • Benchmarking Benchmarking project added for testing and evaluating performance (thanks to louislewis2).
  • Yolov10 Support: Now featuring support for Yolov10 object detection. Because why not have the latest and greatest? ;)

Nuget

> dotnet add package YoloDotNet

Install CUDA (optional)

YoloDotNet with GPU-acceleration requires CUDA and cuDNN.

ℹ️ Before installing CUDA and cuDNN, make sure to verify the ONNX runtime's current compatibility with specific versions.

Export Yolov8 model to ONNX

All models must be Yolov8-models exported to ONNX format. How to export to ONNX format.

Verify your model

using YoloDotNet;

// Instantiate a new Yolo object with your ONNX-model
using var yolo = new Yolo(@"path\to\model.onnx");

Console.WriteLine(yolo.OnnxModel.ModelType); // Output modeltype...

Example - Image inference

using YoloDotNet;
using YoloDotNet.Enums;
using YoloDotNet.Models;
using YoloDotNet.Extensions;
using SkiaSharp;

// Instantiate a new Yolo object
using var yolo = new Yolo(new YoloOptions
{
    OnnxModel = @"path\to\model.onnx",      // Your Yolov8 or Yolov10 model in onnx format
    ModelType = ModelType.ObjectDetection,  // Model type
    Cuda = false,                           // Use CPU or CUDA for GPU accelerated inference. Default = true
    GpuId = 0                               // Select Gpu by id. Default = 0
    PrimeGpu = false,                       // Pre-allocate GPU before first. Default = false
});

// Load image
using var image = SKImage.FromEncodedData(@"path\to\image.jpg");

// Run inference and get the results
var results = yolo.RunObjectDetection(image, confidence: 0.25, iou: 0.7);

// Draw results
using var resultsImage = image.Draw(results);

// Save to file
resultsImage.Save(@"save\as\new_image.jpg", SKEncodedImageFormat.Jpeg, 80);

Example - Video inference

Important

Processing video requires FFmpeg and FFProbe

  • Download FFMPEG
  • Add FFmpeg and ffprobe to the Path-variable in your Environment Variables
using YoloDotNet;
using YoloDotNet.Enums;
using YoloDotNet.Models;

// Instantiate a new Yolo object
using var yolo = new Yolo(new YoloOptions
{
    OnnxModel = @"path\to\model.onnx",      // Your Yolov8 or Yolov10 model in onnx format
    ModelType = ModelType.ObjectDetection,  // Model type
    Cuda = false,                           // Use CPU or CUDA for GPU accelerated inference. Default = true
    GpuId = 0                               // Select Gpu by id. Default = 0
    PrimeGpu = false,                       // Pre-allocate GPU before first. Default = false
});

// Set video options
var options = new VideoOptions
{
    VideoFile = @"path\to\video.mp4",
    OutputDir = @"path\to\output\dir",
    //GenerateVideo = true,
    //DrawLabels = true,
    //FPS = 30,
    //Width = 640,  // Resize video...
    //Height = -2,  // -2 automatically calculate dimensions to keep proportions
    //Quality = 28,
    //DrawConfidence = true,
    //KeepAudio = true,
    //KeepFrames = false,
    //DrawSegment = DrawSegment.Default,
    //PoseOptions = MyPoseMarkerConfiguration // Your own pose marker configuration...
};

// Run inference on video
var results = yolo.RunObjectDetection(options, 0.25, 0.7);

// Do further processing with 'results'...

Custom KeyPoint configuration for Pose Estimation

Example on how to configure Keypoints for a Pose Estimation model

// Pass in a KeyPoint options parameter to the Draw() extension method. Ex:
image.Draw(poseEstimationResults, poseOptions);

Access ONNX metadata and labels

The internal ONNX metadata such as input & output parameters, version, author, description, date along with the labels can be accessed via the yolo.OnnxModel property.

Example:

using var yolo = new Yolo(@"path\to\model.onnx");

// ONNX metadata and labels resides inside yolo.OnnxModel
Console.WriteLine(yolo.OnnxModel);

Example:

// Instantiate a new object
using var yolo = new Yolo(@"path\to\model.onnx");

// Display metadata
foreach (var property in yolo.OnnxModel.GetType().GetProperties())
{
    var value = property.GetValue(yolo.OnnxModel);
    Console.WriteLine($"{property.Name,-20}{value!}");

    if (property.Name == nameof(yolo.OnnxModel.CustomMetaData))
        foreach (var data in (Dictionary<string, string>)value!)
            Console.WriteLine($"{"",-20}{data.Key,-20}{data.Value}");
}

// Get ONNX labels
var labels = yolo.OnnxModel.Labels;

Console.WriteLine();
Console.WriteLine($"Labels ({labels.Length}):");
Console.WriteLine(new string('-', 58));

// Display
for (var i = 0; i < labels.Length; i++)
    Console.WriteLine($"index: {i,-8} label: {labels[i].Name,20} color: {labels[i].Color}");

// Output:

// ModelType           ObjectDetection
// InputName           images
// OutputName          output0
// CustomMetaData      System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary`2[System.String,System.String]

Benchmarks

There are some benchmarks included in the project. To run them, you simply need to build the project and run the YoloDotNet.Benchmarks project. The solution must be set to Release mode to run the benchmarks.

There is a if DEBUG section in the benchmark project that will run the benchmarks in Debug mode, but it is not recommended as it will not give accurate results. This is however useful to debug and step through the code. Two examples have been left in place to show how to run the benchmarks in Debug mode, but have been commented out.

Because there is no persistant storage for benchmark results, the results below are in the form of starting point and ending point. If one makes changes to the benchmarks, you would move the ending point to the starting point and run the benchmarks again to see the improvements and those values would be the new ending point.

Benchmark results would be very much based on the hardware used. It is important to try run benchmarks on the same hardware for future comparisons. If different hardware is used, it is important to note the hardware used, as the results would be different, thus the starting point and ending point would need to be updated. Hopefully in future a single hardware configuration can be used for benchmarks, before updating documentation.

Simple Benchmarks

Simple benchmarks were modeled around the test project. The test project uses the same images and models as the benchmarks. The benchmarks are run on the same images and models as the test project. These benchmarks provide a good starting point to identify bottlenecks and areas for improvement.

The hardware these benchmarks used are detailed below, the graphics card used was a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 12GB.
