YOLOv10m Finetuned on BDD100K

Fine-tuned YOLOv10m object detector on the BDD100K benchmark dataset, trained and evaluated as part of DetectionBench -- a framework for reproducibly benchmarking modern object detectors with identical training recipes and evaluation metrics across multiple real-world datasets.

from ultralytics import YOLO

weights = hf_hub_download(
    repo_id="dronefreak/bdd100k-yolov10m",
    filename="best.pt"
)

model = YOLO(weights)

Run Inference

results = model.predict(
    source="image.jpg",
    conf=0.25
)

results[0].show()

Training Framework

This model was trained using DetectionBench , an open-source framework for benchmarking object detectors across multiple real-world datasets with a common pipeline.

Features include:

• A dataset-adapter registry for converting real-world datasets into a canonical format
• Identical training/evaluation recipes across model families (Ultralytics YOLO/RT-DETR, RF-DETR)
• Hardware profiling (latency, FPS, VRAM, parameters, FLOPs)
• One-command reproducibility via versioned Hydra configs

Known Limitations

• Not comparable to the official BDD100K test-server leaderboard: the official test split has no released labels, so the test split here is BDD100K's official validation set (10,000 images) and a seeded 15% slice of the official train set is held out for validation.
• Severe class imbalance: car (55.4%), traffic sign (18.6%) and traffic light (14.5%) dominate the boxes, while rider (0.4%), motor (0.2%) and especially train (about 150 boxes in the whole dataset) are rare -- per-class accuracy on those classes is measured on very few examples and is close to noise for train .
• Small objects: the median box covers only 0.09% of the 1280x720 frame, and traffic lights and signs are the smallest and hardest classes (medians of roughly 16 px and 21 px at native resolution), so scores on them depend heavily on input resolution.
• Detection labels only: BDD100K's lane-marking and drivable-area annotations are dropped, so these models cover the 2D object detection task only.
• Conditions are not broken down: the images span weather, time-of-day and scene conditions, but scores here are aggregated over all of them, and generalization outside the US road scenes BDD100K covers is untested.
• Non-commercial redistribution only: BDD100K's own data license (reproduced in full on the dataset card) permits redistribution for educational, research and not-for-profit purposes with notice -- commercial use needs separate permission from UC Berkeley's Office of Technology Licensing, not a blanket no-redistribution grant.
• Label vintage is 2018, not the paper's 2020 publication date: the detection labels mirrored here are BDD100K's original 2018 annotation release (matching the data license's own copyright year), carried through a two-hop Kaggle mirror -- see the dataset card for why a separate, later-dated label release couldn't be located or verified.
