We write your reusable computer vision tools. 💜
pip install supervision
📑 Table of Contents
👋 Hello
We are your essential toolkit for computer vision. From data loading to real-time zone counting, we provide the building blocks so you can focus on building applications around your models. 🤝
💻 Install
Pip install the supervision package in a Python>=3.10 environment.
pip install supervision
Read more about conda, mamba, and installing from source in our guide.
🔥 Quickstart
Models
Supervision was designed to be model agnostic. Just plug in any classification, detection, or segmentation model. For your convenience, we have created connectors for the most popular libraries like Ultralytics, Transformers, MMDetection, or Inference. Other integrations, like rfdetr, already return sv.Detections directly.
Install the optional dependencies for this example with pip install pillow rfdetr.
import supervision as sv
from PIL import Image
from rfdetr import RFDETRSmall
image = Image.open("path/to/image.jpg")
model = RFDETRSmall()
detections = model.predict(image, threshold=0.5)
len(detections)
# 5
👉 more model connectors
inference
Running with Inference requires a Roboflow API KEY.
import supervision as sv from PIL import Image from inference import get_model image = Image.open("path/to/image.jpg") model = get_model(model_id="rfdetr-small", api_key="ROBOFLOW_API_KEY") result = model.infer(image)[0] detections = sv.Detections.from_inference(result) len(detections) # 5
Annotators
Supervision offers a wide range of highly customizable annotators, allowing you to compose the perfect visualization for your use case.
import cv2
import supervision as sv
image = cv2.imread("path/to/image.jpg")
# Assuming detections are obtained from a model
detections = sv.Detections(...)
box_annotator = sv.BoxAnnotator()
annotated_frame = box_annotator.annotate(scene=image.copy(), detections=detections)

Datasets
Supervision provides a set of utils that allow you to load, split, merge, and save datasets in one of the supported formats.
import supervision as sv
from roboflow import Roboflow
project = Roboflow().workspace("WORKSPACE_ID").project("PROJECT_ID")
dataset = project.version("PROJECT_VERSION").download("coco")
ds = sv.DetectionDataset.from_coco(
images_directory_path=f"{dataset.location}/train",
annotations_path=f"{dataset.location}/train/_annotations.coco.json",
)
path, image, annotation = ds[0]
# loads image on demand
for path, image, annotation in ds:
# loads image on demand
pass
👉 more dataset utils
load
dataset = sv.DetectionDataset.from_yolo( images_directory_path=..., annotations_directory_path=..., data_yaml_path=..., ) dataset = sv.DetectionDataset.from_pascal_voc( images_directory_path=..., annotations_directory_path=..., ) dataset = sv.DetectionDataset.from_coco( images_directory_path=..., annotations_path=..., )split
train_dataset, test_dataset = dataset.split(split_ratio=0.7) test_dataset, valid_dataset = test_dataset.split(split_ratio=0.5) len(train_dataset), len(test_dataset), len(valid_dataset) # (700, 150, 150)merge
ds_1 = sv.DetectionDataset(...) len(ds_1) # 100 ds_1.classes # ['dog', 'person'] ds_2 = sv.DetectionDataset(...) len(ds_2) # 200 ds_2.classes # ['cat'] ds_merged = sv.DetectionDataset.merge([ds_1, ds_2]) len(ds_merged) # 300 ds_merged.classes # ['cat', 'dog', 'person']save
dataset.as_yolo( images_directory_path=..., annotations_directory_path=..., data_yaml_path=..., ) dataset.as_pascal_voc( images_directory_path=..., annotations_directory_path=..., ) dataset.as_coco( images_directory_path=..., annotations_path=..., )convert
sv.DetectionDataset.from_yolo( images_directory_path=..., annotations_directory_path=..., data_yaml_path=..., ).as_pascal_voc( images_directory_path=..., annotations_directory_path=..., )
