YOLOv5 1.0 Release Notes June 22, 2020: PANet updates: increased layers, reduced parameters, faster inference and improved mAP 364fcfd. June 19, 2020: FP16 as new default for smaller checkpoints and faster inference d4c6674. June 9, 2020: CSP updates: improved speed, size, and accuracy. Credit to @WongKinYiu for excellent CSP work. May 27, 2020: Public release of repo. YOLOv5 models are SOTA among all known YOLO implementations. April 1, 2020: Start development of future YOLOv3/YOLOv4-based PyTorch models in a range of compound-scaled sizes. <img src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/26833433/85340570-30360a80-b49b-11ea-87cf-bdf33d53ae15.png" width="800"> ** GPU Speed measures end-to-end time per image averaged over 5000 COCO val2017 images using a V100 GPU with batch size 8, and includes image preprocessing, PyTorch FP16 inference, postprocessing and NMS.

Average NMS time included in this chart is 1-2ms/img. Reproduce by python test.py --img 640 --conf 0.1 All checkpoints are trained to 300 epochs with default settings and hyperparameters (no autoaugmentation).
