【YOLOV8】使用Ultralytics 进行 YOLOV8训练时YAML文件格式解析

代码示例

以下使用Ultralytics平台进行YOLOV8训练时官方提供的代码示例：

from ultralytics import YOLO
# Load a model
model = YOLO("yolov8n.pt")  # load a pretrained model (recommended for training)
# Train the model
results = model.train(data="coco8.yaml", epochs=100, imgsz=640)

问题引入

在训练时，data="coco8.yaml"，那么coco8.yaml格式是什么样的呢？

官方提供的 coco8.yaml为例：

1. path、train、val、test路径可以根据自己数据集所在位置进行修改即可
2. names 根据自己数据集检测类型进行修改即可
3. download在自定义数据集中可以不要
