YOLOv10 - Object Detection¶
YOLOv10 is an object detection model developed by Tsinghua University, featuring an NMS-free architecture for end-to-end object detection with reduced latency.
Overview¶
YOLOv10 for object detection is designed for real-time detection with unique architectural improvements:
- NMS-free architecture - End-to-end detection without non-maximum suppression
- Dual assignments - Improved training strategy
- Efficient backbone - Optimized for speed and accuracy
- Multiple model sizes - From nano to extra-large variants
License¶

Usage Example¶
import cv2
import supervision as sv
from inference_models import AutoModel
# Load model and image
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained("yolov10n-640")
image = cv2.imread("path/to/image.jpg")
# Run inference and convert to supervision Detections
predictions = model(image)
detections = predictions[0].to_supervision()
# Annotate image
bounding_box_annotator = sv.BoxAnnotator()
annotated_image = bounding_box_annotator.annotate(image, detections)
# Save or display
cv2.imwrite("annotated.jpg", annotated_image)
