## **Training Process**
The training process involved the following steps:
### 1. **Model Selection:**
Various object detection models were evaluated to identify the best balance between precision, recall, and inference time.

#### Highlights:
- **Best mAP50:** `conditional-detr-resnet-50` (**0.936524**)
- **Best mAP50-95:** `yolov8m` (**0.665495**)
- **Fastest Inference Time:** `yolov10n` (**73.8596 ms**)
Detailed experiments are available on [**Weights & Biases**](https://api.wandb.ai/links/samuel-lima-tech4humans/30cmrkp8).
### 2. **Hyperparameter Tuning:**
The YOLOv8s model, which demonstrated a good balance of inference time, precision, and recall, was selected for hyperparameter tuning.
[Optuna](https://optuna.org/) was used for 20 optimization trials.
The hyperparameter tuning used the following parameter configuration:
```python
dropout = trial.suggest_float("dropout", 0.0, 0.5, step=0.1)
lr0 = trial.suggest_float("lr0", 1e-5, 1e-1, log=True)
box = trial.suggest_float("box", 3.0, 7.0, step=1.0)
cls = trial.suggest_float("cls", 0.5, 1.5, step=0.2)
opt = trial.suggest_categorical("optimizer", ["AdamW", "RMSProp"])
```
Results can be visualized here: [**Hypertuning Experiment**](https://api.wandb.ai/links/samuel-lima-tech4humans/31a6zhb1).

### 3. **Evaluation:**
The models were evaluated on the test set at the end of training in ONNX (CPU) and TensorRT (GPU - T4) formats. Performance metrics included precision, recall, mAP50, and mAP50-95.

#### Results Comparison:
| Metric | Base Model | Best Trial (#10) | Difference |
|------------|------------|-------------------|-------------|
| mAP50 | 87.47% | **95.75%** | +8.28% |
| mAP50-95 | 65.46% | **66.26%** | +0.81% |
| Precision | **97.23%** | 95.61% | -1.63% |
| Recall | 76.16% | **91.21%** | +15.05% |
| F1-score | 85.42% | **93.36%** | +7.94% |

- **Precision:** 94.74%
- **Recall:** 89.72%
- **mAP@50:** 94.50%

---
## **How to Use**
The `YOLOv8s` model can be used via CLI or Python code using the [Ultralytics](https://github.com/ultralytics/ultralytics) library. Alternatively, it can be used directly with ONNX Runtime or TensorRT.
The final weights are available in the main directory of the repository:
- [`yolov8s.pt`](yolov8s.pt) (PyTorch format)
- [`yolov8s.onnx`](yolov8s.onnx) (ONNX format)
- [`yolov8s.engine`](yolov8s.engine) (TensorRT format)
### Python Code
- Dependencies
```bash
pip install ultralytics supervision huggingface_hub
```
- Inference
```python
import cv2
import supervision as sv
from huggingface_hub import hf_hub_download
from ultralytics import YOLO
model_path = hf_hub_download(
repo_id="tech4humans/yolov8s-signature-detector",
filename="yolov8s.pt"
)
model = YOLO(model_path)
image_path = "/path/to/your/image.jpg"
image = cv2.imread(image_path)
results = model(image_path)
detections = sv.Detections.from_ultralytics(results[0])
box_annotator = sv.BoxAnnotator()
annotated_image = box_annotator.annotate(scene=image, detections=detections)
cv2.imshow("Detections", annotated_image)
cv2.waitKey(0)
cv2.destroyAllWindows()
```
Ensure the paths to the image and model files are correct.
### CLI
- Dependencies
```bash
pip install -U ultralytics "huggingface_hub[cli]"
```
- Inference
```bash
huggingface-cli download tech4humans/yolov8s-signature-detector yolov8s.pt
```
```bash
yolo predict model=yolov8s.pt source=caminho/para/imagem.jpg
```
**Parameters**:
- `model`: Path to the model weights file.
- `source`: Path to the image or directory of images for detection.
### ONNX Runtime
For optimized inference, you can find the inference code using [onnxruntime](https://onnxruntime.ai/docs/) and [OpenVINO Execution Provider](https://onnxruntime.ai/docs/execution-providers/OpenVINO-ExecutionProvider.html) in the [handler.py](handler.py) file and on the Hugging Face Space [here](https://huggingface.co/spaces/tech4humans/signature-detection).
---
## **Demo**
You can explore the model and test real-time inference in the Hugging Face Spaces demo, built with Gradio and ONNXRuntime.
