Ultralytics Yolo

YOLO integration for realvirtual.io AI Builder with licensing information

The realvirtual.io AI Builder includes built-in integration with Ultralytics YOLO (You Only Look Once) for state-of-the-art object detection capabilities. While YOLO provides fast and accurate real-time object detection for industrial automation scenarios, it represents just one option among many training frameworks that can use AI Builder's synthetic data.

Overview

YOLO is a popular real-time object detection system that can detect multiple objects in images with high speed and accuracy. While realvirtual.io AI Builder includes built-in YOLO integration for convenience, the synthetic training data generated by AI Builder can be used with various machine learning frameworks including TensorFlow, PyTorch, Detectron2, and other training pipelines.

The built-in YOLO integration allows you to:

  • Train custom YOLO models using synthetic training data

  • Deploy trained models for real-time object detection

  • Test models within digital twin environments

  • Export models in ONNX format for cross-platform deployment

For alternative training approaches, the synthetic data can be exported in standard formats for use with your preferred AI framework.

GitHub Repository

The YOLO integration is available as a separate repository that works with realvirtual.io AI Builder:
