Use Python to demonstrate the effect of Ultralytics: Oriented Bounding Boxes Object Detection in image, video, and real-time detection.
1. Model introduction
Oriented bounding box object detection, also known as oriented object detection, goes a step further than standard object detection. It introduces an additional angle to more accurately locate objects in the image.
The output of the oriented object detector is a set of rotated bounding boxes that accurately surround objects in the image, as well as the category label and confidence score of each bounding box. Oriented bounding boxes are particularly useful when objects appear at different angles, such as in aerial images, where traditional axis-aligned bounding boxes may include unnecessary background.
In short, oriented object detection can accurately surround tilted objects with tilted boxes, thereby reducing unnecessary background areas and improving detection accuracy.
2. Oriented bounding box object detection: image
Use yolo11n-obb.pt to predict images under the ultralytics project (not ultralytics built-in images).
Enter the code folder:
cd /home/pi/ultralytics/ultralytics/yahboom_demo
Run the code:

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

Sample code:
xfrom ultralytics import YOLO# Load a modelmodel = YOLO("/home/pi/ultralytics/ultralytics/yolo11n-obb.pt")# Run batched inference on a list of imagesresults = model("/home/pi/ultralytics/ultralytics/assets/car.jpg") # return a list of Results objects# Process results listfor 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/car_output.jpg") # save to disk3. Directed border object detection: video
Use yolo11n-obb.pt to predict the video under the ultralytics project (not the video that comes with ultralytics).
