v8.2.35 - `ultralytics 8.2.35` add YOLOv9t/s/m models (#13504)
馃専 Summary
The v8.2.35 release of Ultralytics introduces new YOLOv9 models and various enhancements to the codebase and documentation.
馃搳 Key Changes
- New Model Configurations: Added configurations for YOLOv9 models (
yolov9t
,yolov9s
,yolov9m
). - Documentation Updates: Enhanced model documentation with links to model weights and expanded on YOLOv9 details.
- Code Refactoring: Replaced
Silence
layers withnn.Identity
in model configurations. - New Modules: Introduced
ELAN1
andAConv
modules. - Disabled CUDA Tests: Temporarily disabled CUDA export tests due to limited GPU availability.
- MLflow Sanitization: Added a
sanitize_dict
function for cleaning MLflow metrics logging.
馃幆 Purpose & Impact
- Improved Model Availability: The new YOLOv9 configurations make it easier for users to access and utilize various model sizes tailored to different computational needs, enhancing flexibility and performance tuning.
- Enhanced Documentation: Links to model weights and better documentation provide users with more resources and clearer information, aiding in model selection and deployment.
- Code Quality: Refactoring and new modules ensure the codebase is more maintainable, robust, and clear, benefiting long-term development and user comprehension.
- Testing Adjustments: Disabling CUDA tests prevents potential issues due to resource constraints, ensuring smoother development and testing phases.
- Better Metrics Logging: The
sanitize_dict
function improves the accuracy and readability of logged metrics in MLflow, leading to better monitoring and analysis of model training.
