Autodistill YOLO-World Module

This repository contains the code supporting the YOLO-World base model for use with Autodistill.

YOLO-World, developed by Tencent's AI Lab, is a zero-shot object detection model that can run in close-to-real-time on powerful GPUs. You can provide arbitrary text prompts to detect objects in images, and the model will return bounding boxes and class labels for the objects it finds.

You can use YOLO-World in Autodistill to detect objects.

Installation

To use YOLO-World with autodistill, you need to install the following dependency:

pip3 install autodistill-yolo-world

Quickstart

from autodistill_yolo_world import YOLOWorldModel
from autodistill.detection import CaptionOntology
from autodistill.utils import plot
import cv2

# define an ontology to map class names to our GroundingDINO prompt
# the ontology dictionary has the format {caption: class}
# where caption is the prompt sent to the base model, and class is the label that will
# be saved for that caption in the generated annotations
# then, load the model
base_model = YOLOWorldModel(ontology=CaptionOntology({"book": "book"}))

# predict on an image
result = base_model.predict("bookshelf.jpeg", confidence=0.1)

plot(
    image=cv2.imread("./bookshelf.jpeg"),
    classes=base_model.ontology.classes(),
    detections=result
)
