How Yolov5 calculate mAP@.5 and mAP@.5:.95 and plot images?

[Github-Vicente]

❔Question

I have three question:

1. When I am using val.py, no matter what the --iou-thres and --conf-thres I set. The test_batch0_pred.jpg will plot the bbox only with bbox conf-thres greater then default value 0.25.
   So if I set the --iou-thres and --conf-thres by myself, it seems that mAP calculation and plot function will under different criteria. Is it normal?
   While the record in txt did follow the --conf-thres I set. But test_batch0_pred.jpg is not.
   Where can I control the threshold of plot iou?

2. Sometimes val.py output a test_batch0_pred.jpg with mosaic image. Did anyone face this problem too?

3. Is it normal that I apply val.py and detect.py without any customize parameter to the same dataset, but get different result?

Thank you!

Requirements

Python>=3.6.0 with all requirements.txt installed including PyTorch>=1.7. To get started:

$ git clone https://github.com/ultralytics/yolov5
$ cd yolov5
$ pip install -r requirements.txt

Environments

YOLOv5 may be run in any of the following up-to-date verified environments (with all dependencies including CUDA/CUDNN, Python and PyTorch preinstalled):

@GamuzaLu 👋 Hello, thank you for asking about the differences between train.py, detect.py and test.py in YOLOv5.

These 3 files are designed for different purposes and utilize different dataloaders with different settings. train.py dataloaders are designed for a speed-accuracy compromise, test.py is designed to obtain the best mAP on a validation dataset, and detect.py is designed for best real-world inference results. A few important aspects of each:

train.py

• trainloader LoadImagesAndLabels(): designed to load train dataset images and labels. Augmentation capable and enabled.

  yolov5/train.py

  Lines 188 to 192 in fca5e2a

  	# Trainloader
  	dataloader, dataset = create_dataloader(train_path, imgsz, batch_size, gs, opt,
  	hyp=hyp, augment=True, cache=opt.cache_images, rect=opt.rect, rank=rank,
  	world_size=opt.world_size, workers=opt.workers,
  	image_weights=opt.image_weights, quad=opt.quad, prefix=colorstr('train: '))

• testloader LoadImagesAndLabels(): designed to load val dataset images and labels. Augmentation capable but disabled.

  yolov5/train.py

  Lines 199 to 202 in fca5e2a

  	testloader = create_dataloader(test_path, imgsz_test, batch_size * 2, gs, opt, # testloader
  	hyp=hyp, cache=opt.cache_images and not opt.notest, rect=True, rank=-1,
  	world_size=opt.world_size, workers=opt.workers,
  	pad=0.5, prefix=colorstr('val: '))[0]

• image size: 640
• rectangular inference: False
• confidence threshold: 0.001
• iou threshold: 0.6
• multi-label: True
• padding: None

test.py

• dataloader LoadImagesAndLabels(): designed to load train, val, test dataset images and labels. Augmentation capable but disabled.

  yolov5/test.py

  Lines 89 to 90 in fca5e2a

  	dataloader = create_dataloader(data[task], imgsz, batch_size, gs, opt, pad=0.5, rect=True,
  	prefix=colorstr(f'{task}: '))[0]

• image size: 640
• rectangular inference: True
• confidence threshold: 0.001
• iou threshold: 0.6
• multi-label: True
• padding: 0.5 * maximum stride

detect.py

• dataloaders (multiple): designed for loading multiple types of media (images, videos, globs, directories, streams).

  yolov5/detect.py

  Lines 46 to 53 in fca5e2a

  	# Set Dataloader
  	vid_path, vid_writer = None, None
  	if webcam:
  	view_img = check_imshow()
  	cudnn.benchmark = True # set True to speed up constant image size inference
  	dataset = LoadStreams(source, img_size=imgsz, stride=stride)
  	else:
  	dataset = LoadImages(source, img_size=imgsz, stride=stride)

• image size: 640
• rectangular inference: True
• confidence threshold: 0.25
• iou threshold: 0.45
• multi-label: False
• padding: None
