Summary

Class ultralytics.models.yolo.classify.predict.ClassificationPredictor#

ClassificationPredictor(cfg=DEFAULT_CFG, overrides=None, _callbacks: dict | None = None)

Bases: BasePredictor

A class extending the BasePredictor class for prediction based on a classification model.

This predictor handles the specific requirements of classification models, including preprocessing images and postprocessing predictions to generate classification results.

This constructor initializes a ClassificationPredictor instance, which extends BasePredictor for classification tasks. It ensures the task is set to 'classify' regardless of input configuration.

Args

NameTypeDescriptionDefault
cfgdictDefault configuration dictionary containing prediction settings.DEFAULT_CFG
overridesdict, optionalConfiguration overrides that take precedence over cfg.None
_callbacksdict, optionalDictionary of callback functions to be executed during prediction.None

Attributes

NameTypeDescription
argsdictConfiguration arguments for the predictor.

Methods

NameDescription
postprocessProcess predictions to return Results objects with classification probabilities.
pre_transformResize and crop images on the host, leaving uint8 BGR for the device-side conversion.
preprocessConvert input images to model-compatible tensor format with appropriate normalization.
setup_sourceSet up source and inference mode and classify transforms.

Examples

>>> from ultralytics.utils import ASSETS
>>> from ultralytics.models.yolo.classify import ClassificationPredictor
>>> args = dict(model="yolo26n-cls.pt", source=ASSETS)
>>> predictor = ClassificationPredictor(overrides=args)
>>> predictor.predict_cli()
Notes
  • Torchvision classification models can also be passed to the 'model' argument, i.e. model='resnet18'.
