YOLOv7

YOLOv7 is a state of the art object detection model.

Try the Model

Use the widget below to experiment with YOLOv7. You can detect COCO classes such as people, vehicles, animals, household items.

Overview

YOLOv7 was released in July 2022 by WongKinYiu and AlexeyAB. It achieves state of the art performance on and are trained to detect the generic 80 classes in the MS COCO dataset for real-time object detection.

There are six versions of the model ranging from the namesake YOLOv7 (fastest, smallest, and least accurate) to the beefy YOLOv7-E6E (slowest, largest, and most accurate).

The differences between the different sizes of the model are:

The image input resolution
The number of anchors
The number of parameters
The number of layers

The evaluation of YOLOv7 models show that they infer faster (x-axis) and with greater accuracy (y-axis) than comparable realtime object detection models. YOLOv7 evaluates in the upper left - faster and more accurate than its peer networks.

Deploy a YOLOv7 API

You can use Roboflow Inference to deploy a

YOLOv7

API on your hardware. You can deploy the model on CPU (i.e. Raspberry Pi, AI PCs) and GPU devices (i.e. NVIDIA Jetson, NVIDIA T4).

Below are instructions on how to deploy your own model API.

You can run fine-tuned YOLOv7 object detection models with Inference.

First, install Inference:‍


pip install inference

Retrieve your Roboflow API key and save it in an environment variable called ROBOFLOW_API_KEY:


export ROBOFLOW_API_KEY="your-api-key"

To use your model, run the following code:


import inference
model = inference.load_roboflow_model("model-name/version")
results = model.infer(image="YOUR_IMAGE.jpg")

Above, replace:

YOUR_IMAGE.jpg with the path to your image.
model_id/version with the YOLOv8 model ID and version you want to use. Learn how to retrieve your model and version ID

Label Data Automatically with YOLOv7

You can automatically label a dataset using YOLOv7 with help from Autodistill, an open source package for training computer vision models. You can label a folder of images automatically with only a few lines of code. Below, see our tutorials that demonstrate how to use YOLOv7 to train a computer vision model.
