How much labelled data does a YOLO model need?

Less than people expect for a narrow task. A few hundred well-labelled images is often enough to fine-tune for a specific camera and object set. The labelling quality matters more than the count.

AI and machine learning

YOLOv8

YOLOv8 for detection and segmentation in production vision systems and in my published research.

How I use it

I have used YOLOv8 for people counting on buses and vehicle detection in parking lots, both running on live camera feeds, and I have evaluated YOLO segmentation models on a custom dataset for a research paper. It is fast enough for real time on modest hardware and easy to fine-tune on your own data.
