How to Create an End to End Object Detector using Yolov5

Ultralytics to the rescue

Ultralytics recently launched YOLOv5 amid controversy surrounding its name. For context, the first three versions of YOLO (You Only Look Once) were created by Joseph Redmon. Following this, Alexey Bochkovskiy created YOLOv4 on darknet, which boasted higher Average Precision (AP) and faster results than previous iterations.

Now, Ultralytics has released YOLOv5, with comparable AP and faster inference times than YOLOv4. This has left many asking: is a new version warranted given similar accuracy to YOLOv4? Whatever the answer may be, it’s definitely a sign of how quickly the detection community is evolving.
