YOLOs-CPP provides single c++ headers with high-performance application designed for real-time object detection using various YOLO (You Only Look Once) models from Ultralytics. Leveraging the power of ONNX Runtime and OpenCV, this project provides seamless integration with unified YOLOv(5,7,8,10,11) implementation for image, video, and live camera inference. Whether you're developing for research, production, or hobbyist projects, this application offers flexibility and efficiency also provide.

// Include necessary headers
#include <opencv2/opencv.hpp>
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include "YOLO11.hpp" // Ensure YOLO11.hpp or other version is in your include path
int main()
{
// Configuration parameters
const std::string labelsPath = "../models/coco.names"; // Path to class labels
const std::string modelPath = "../models/yolo11n.onnx"; // Path to YOLO11 model
const std::string imagePath = "../data/dogs.jpg"; // Path to input image
bool isGPU = true; // Set to false for CPU processing
// Initialize the YOLO11 detector
YOLO11Detector detector(modelPath, labelsPath, isGPU);
// Load an image
cv::Mat image = cv::imread(imagePath);
// Perform object detection to get bboxs
std::vector<Detection> detections = detector.detect(image);
// Draw bounding boxes on the image
detector.drawBoundingBoxMask(image, detections);
// Display the annotated image
cv::imshow("YOLO11 Detections", image);
cv::waitKey(0); // Wait indefinitely until a key is pressed
return 0;

-
Multiple YOLO Models: Supports YOLOv5, YOLOv7, YOLOv8, YOLOv10, and YOLOv11 with standard and quantized ONNX models for flexibility in use cases.
-
ONNX Runtime Integration: Leverages ONNX Runtime for optimized inference on both CPU and GPU, ensuring high performance.
- Dynamic Shapes Handling: Adapts automatically to varying input sizes for improved versatility.
- Graph Optimization: Enhances performance using model optimization with
ORT_ENABLE_ALL
. - Execution Providers: Configures sessions for CPU or GPU (e.g.,
CUDAExecutionProvider
for GPU support). - Input/Output Shape Management: Manages dynamic input tensor shapes per model specifications.
- Optimized Memory Allocation: Utilizes
Ort::MemoryInfo
for efficient memory management during tensor creation. - Batch Processing: Supports processing multiple images, currently focused on single-image input.
- Output Tensor Extraction: Extracts output tensors dynamically for flexible result handling.
-
OpenCV Integration: Uses OpenCV for image processing and rendering bounding boxes and labels (note:
cv::dnn
modules are not used). -
Real-Time Inference: Capable of processing images, videos, and live camera feeds instantly.
-
Efficient Detection Handling: Employs Non-Maximum Suppression (NMS) for effective processing (note: some models are NMS free e.g. YOLO10).
-
Cross-Platform Support: Fully compatible with Linux, macOS, and Windows environments.
-
Easy-to-Use Scripts: Includes shell scripts for straightforward building and running of different inference modes.
Before building the project, ensure that the following dependencies are installed on your system:
- C++ Compiler: Compatible with C++14 standard (e.g.,
g++
,clang++
, or MSVC). - CMake: Version 3.0.0 or higher.
- OpenCV: Version 4.5.5 or higher.
- ONNX Runtime: Tested with version 1.16.3 and 1.19.2, backward compatibility [Installed and linked automatically during the build].
- Python (optional): For running the quantization script (
yolos_quantization.py
).
First, clone the repository to your local machine:
git clone https://github.com/Geekgineer/YOLOs-CPP
cd YOLOs-CPP
-
make sure you have opencv c++ installed
-
set the ONNX Runtime version you need e.g. ONNXRUNTIME_VERSION="1.16.3" in build.sh to download ONNX Runtime headers also set GPU.
-
Ensure that the you commented and uncomment the yolo version you need in the script you will run, select the data or the camera source in the code:
-
Optional: control the debugging and timing using Config.hpp
Execute the build script to compile the project using CMake:
./build.sh
This script will download onnxruntime headers, create a build directory, configure the project, and compile the source code. Upon successful completion, the executable files (camera_inference, image_inference, video_inference) will be available in the build directory.
After building the project, you can perform object detection on images, videos, or live camera feeds using the provided shell scripts.
To perform object detection on a single image:
./run_image.sh
This command will process dog.jpg using e.g. YOLOv5-n6 model and display the output image with detected bounding boxes and labels.
To perform object detection on a video file:
./run_video.sh
Example:
./run_video.sh
The above command will process SIG_experience_center.mp4 using the YOLO11n model and save the output video with detected objects.
To perform real-time object detection using a usb cam:
./run_camera.sh
This command will activate your usb and display the video feed with real-time object detection.
The project includes various pertained standard YOLO models stored in the models
and quantized_models
directories:
Model Type | Model Name |
---|---|
Standard Models | yolo5-n6.onnx |
yolo7-tiny.onnx | |
yolo8n.onnx | |
yolo10n.onnx | |
yolo11n.onnx | |
Quantized Models | yolo5-n6_uint8.onnx |
yolo7-tiny-uint8.onnx | |
yolo8n_uint8.onnx | |
yolo10n_uint8.onnx | |
yolo11n_uint8.onnx |
You can use your custom yolo version with custom classes also!
Class Names:
- coco.names: Contains the list of class labels used by the models.
The quantized_models directory includes quantized versions of the YOLO models optimized for lower precision inference. Additionally, the quantized_models/yolos_quantization.py
script can be used to perform custom quantization on your custom YOLOs models.
Note: Quantized models offer reduced model size and potentially faster inference with a slight trade-off in accuracy.
