ultralytics.models.yolo.classify.val.ClassificationValidator

Bases: BaseValidator

A class extending the BaseValidator class for validation based on a classification model.

Notes
  • Torchvision classification models can also be passed to the 'model' argument, i.e. model='resnet18'.
Example
from ultralytics.models.yolo.classify import ClassificationValidator

args = dict(model='yolov8n-cls.pt', data='imagenet10')
validator = ClassificationValidator(args=args)
validator()
