YOLOv8: How to Train for Object Detection on a Custom Dataset
Ғылым және технология
YOLOv8 is the latest installment of the highly influential YOLO (You Only Look Once) architecture. YOLOv8 was developed by Ultralytics, a team known for its work on YOLOv3 and YOLOv5.
Following the trend set by YOLOv6 and YOLOv7, we have at our disposal object detection, but also instance segmentation, and image classification. The model itself is created in PyTorch and runs on both the CPU and GPU. As with YOLOv5, we also have a number of various exports such as TF.js or CoreML.
In this video, I'll take you through a step-by-step tutorial on Google Colab, and show you how to train your own YOLOv8 object detection model.

When you train a model, the weights are saved in the runs folder correct? We do not have to upload to roboflow? Also using v5 you used to be able to put custom data sets in a certain place in the directory structure which you reference with a data.yaml file. Is this not the case anymore? Where are the datasets stored now? Is it no longer on the local machine in the directory? Do we have to use roboflow and upload there? Thanks

do we need to specify device=none parameter while training to access GPU even after changing GPU settings under Runtime bar in Colab? When i execute training even after changing to GPU settings under runtime tab, i get device=none mentioned in the output of training
How can I prepare dataset_params if I have a dataset structured as follows: Vid1/images and labels, Vid2/images and labels, and so on up to Vid100? The dataset consists of multiple videos, with each video stored in its own folder.

Awesome video and I can hardly wait to train a few models for V8. Only issue I saw however is that the datasets I had for v5 models won't work for v8? Am I missing something or some of the training images and labels format chnaged ? I tried to run a training session for v8 using a dataset exactly as I had it for v5 but it throws an error about the lables. Something along the lines that labels are not actually available ? Can you please give me a short hint on what do I have to do to train a model in v8 using the very same dataset I used for v5? I'd like to compare the behaviur of V8 to V5 and this would the best way of doing it. Obviously if I load the images into roboflow and annotate using that there are no issues at all all works fine. Awesome work and thank you for the video .

There is no change when it comes to actual labels - the txt files are exactly the same. However YOLOv8 team decided to change path management logic. Your dataset contain also a data.yaml file. And inside you’ll find train, test and val paths. If I’m not mistaken you need to change them to train/images, test/images and valid/images respectively. In short to relative paths from dataset root directory to image subdirectories.
