[Ultralytics](https://www.ultralytics.com/) [YOLOv8](https://github.com/ultralytics/ultralytics) is a cutting-edge, state-of-the-art (SOTA) model that builds upon the success of previous YOLO versions and introduces new features and improvements to further boost performance and flexibility. YOLOv8 is designed to be fast, accurate, and easy to use, making it an excellent choice for a wide range of object detection and tracking, instance segmentation, image classification and pose estimation tasks.

I fine tuned this model on [this dataset](https://www.kaggle.com/datasets/samyarr/iranvehicleplatedataset) for detecting Iranian veichle license plate.

<summary>Usage</summary>

### CLI

YOLOv8 may be used directly in the Command Line Interface (CLI) with a `yolo` command:

```bash
yolo predict model=YOLOv8m_Iran_license_plate_detection.pt source='your_image.jpg'
```

`yolo` can be used for a variety of tasks and modes and accepts additional arguments, i.e. `imgsz=640`. See the YOLOv8 [CLI Docs](https://docs.ultralytics.com/usage/cli/) for examples.

### Python

YOLOv8 may also be used directly in a Python environment, and accepts the same [arguments](https://docs.ultralytics.com/usage/cfg/) as in the CLI example above:

```python
from ultralytics import YOLO
# Load a model
model = YOLO("YOLOv8m_Iran_license_plate_detection.pt")
# Train the model
train_results = model.train(
    data="Iran_license_plate.yaml",  # path to dataset YAML
    epochs=100,  # number of training epochs
    imgsz=640,  # training image size
    device="cpu",  # device to run on, i.e. device=0 or device=0,1,2,3 or device=cpu
)
# Evaluate model performance on the validation set
metrics = model.val()
# Perform object detection on an image
results = model("path/to/image.jpg")
results[0].show()
# Export the model to ONNX format
path = model.export(format="onnx")  # return path to exported model
```

See YOLOv8 [Python Docs](https://docs.ultralytics.com/usage/python/) for more examples.
