Demonstrating Ultralytics Instance Segmentation effects on images, videos, and real-time detection using Python.

1. Model Introduction

Instance segmentation goes a step further than object detection; it involves identifying individual objects in an image and segmenting them from the rest of the image.

The output of an instance segmentation model is a set of masks or contours outlining each object in the image, along with class labels and confidence scores for each object. Instance segmentation is very useful when you need to know not only where objects are in an image, but also their specific shapes.

2. Instance Segmentation: Image

Use yolo26n-seg.pt to predict images that come with the ultralytics project.

Navigate to the code folder:

cd /home/pi/ultralytics/ultralytics/yahboom_demo_26

Run the code:

xxxxxxxxxx
python3 02.segmentation_image.py

Preview

yolo recognition output image location: /home/pi/ultralytics/ultralytics/output/

Sample code:

​x
from ultralytics import YOLO

# Load a model
model = YOLO("/home/pi/ultralytics/ultralytics/yolo26n-seg.pt")

# Run batched inference on a list of images
results = model("/home/pi/ultralytics/ultralytics/assets/zidane.jpg")  # return a list of Results objects

# Process results list
for result in results:
    # boxes = result.boxes  # Boxes object for bounding box outputs
    masks = result.masks  # Masks object for segmentation masks outputs
    # keypoints = result.keypoints  # Keypoints object for pose outputs
    # probs = result.probs  # Probs object for classification outputs
    # obb = result.obb  # Oriented boxes object for OBB outputs
    result.show()  # display to screen
    result.save(filename="/home/pi/ultralytics/ultralytics/output/zidane_output.jpg")  # save to disk

3. Instance Segmentation: Video

Use yolo26n-seg.pt to predict videos in the ultralytics project (non-ultralytics built-in videos).

Navigate to the code folder:

xxxxxxxxxx
cd /home/pi/ultralytics/ultralytics/yahboom_demo_26

Run the code:

xxxxxxxxxx
python3 02.segmentation_video.py

Preview

Sample code:

import cv2
from ultralytics import YOLO

# Load the YOLO model
model = YOLO("/home/pi/ultralytics/ultralytics/yolo26n-seg.pt")

# Open the video file
video_path = "/home/pi/ultralytics/ultralytics/videos/people_animals.mp4"
cap = cv2.VideoCapture(video_path)

# Get the video frame size and frame rate
frame_width = int(cap.get(cv2.CAP_PROP_FRAME_WIDTH))
frame_height = int(cap.get(cv2.CAP_PROP_FRAME_HEIGHT))
fps = int(cap.get(cv2.CAP_PROP_FPS))

# Define the codec and create a VideoWriter object to output the processed video
output_path = "/home/pi/ultralytics/ultralytics/output/02.people_animals_output.mp4"
fourcc = cv2.VideoWriter_fourcc(*'mp4v')  # You can use 'XVID' or 'mp4v' depending on your platform
out = cv2.VideoWriter(output_path, fourcc, fps, (frame_width, frame_height))

# Loop through the video frames
while cap.isOpened():
    # Read a frame from the video
    success, frame = cap.read()

    if success:
        # Run YOLO inference on the frame
        results = model(frame)

        # Visualize the results on the frame
        annotated_frame = results[0].plot()

        # Write the annotated frame to the output video file
        out.write(annotated_frame)

        # Display the annotated frame
        cv2.imshow("YOLO Inference", cv2.resize(annotated_frame, (640, 480)))

        # Break the loop if 'q' is pressed
        if cv2.waitKey(1) & 0xFF == ord("q"):
            break
    else:
        # Break the loop if the end of the video is reached
        break
# Release the video capture and writer objects, and close the display window
cap.release()
out.release()
cv2.destroyAllWindows()
