How to Detect Objects with Ultralytics YOLOv5

YOLOv5, released by Ultralytics on June 25th, 2020, is a computer vision model that supports object detection. For example, you can train an object detection model to detect the location of wooden pallets in a manufacturing facility. YOLOv5 has since been largely replaced with Ultralytics YOLOv8. With that said, YOLOv5
