Streamlit Application Code

yolo streamlit-predict

from ultralytics import solutions

solutions.inference()

### Make sure to run the file using command `streamlit run <file-name.py>`

This will launch the Streamlit application in your default web browser. You will see the main title, subtitle, and the sidebar with configuration options. Select your desired YOLO11 model, set the confidence and NMS thresholds, and click the "Start" button to begin the real-time object detection.

You can optionally supply a specific model in Python:

from ultralytics import solutions

# Pass a model as an argument
solutions.inference(model="path/to/model.pt")

### Make sure to run the file using command `streamlit run <file-name.py>`
