One-click Deployment of YOLOv12

1. Tutorial Introduction 📖

YOLOv12 was launched in 2025 by researchers from the University of Buffalo and the University of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.YOLOv12: Attention-Centric Real-Time Object Detectors".

YOLOv12’s Breakthrough Performance

• YOLOv12-N achieves a mAP of 40.6% with an inference latency of 1.64 milliseconds on a T4 GPU, which is 2.1%/1.2% higher than YOLOv10-N/YOLOv11-N.
• YOLOv12-S beats RT-DETR-R18 / RT-DETRv2-R18, running 42% faster, using only 36% of computation, and reducing parameters by 45%.

📜 YOLO development history and related tutorials

Since its launch in 2015, YOLO (You Only Look Once) has been a leader in object detection and image segmentation.The following is the evolution of the YOLO series and related tutorials:

• YOLOv2 (2016): Introducing batch normalization, anchor boxes, and dimension clustering.
• YOLOv3 (2018): Using more efficient backbone networks, multi-anchors and spatial pyramid pooling.
• YOLOv4 (2020): Introducing Mosaic data augmentation, anchor-free detection head and new loss function. → Tutorial:DeepSOCIAL realizes crowd distance monitoring based on YOLOv4 and sort multi-target tracking
• YOLOv5 (2020): Added hyperparameter optimization, experiment tracking, and automatic export capabilities. → Tutorial:YOLOv5_deepsort real-time multi-target tracking model
• YOLOv6 (2022): Meituan open source, widely used in autonomous delivery robots.
• YOLOv7 (2022): Supports pose estimation for the COCO keypoint dataset. → Tutorial:How to train and use a custom YOLOv7 model
• YOLOv8 (2023)：Ultralytics released, supporting a full range of visual AI tasks. → Tutorial:Training YOLOv8 with custom data
• YOLOv9 (2024): Introducing Programmable Gradient Information (PGI) and Generalized Efficient Layer Aggregation Network (GELAN).
• YOLOv10 (2024): Tsinghua University introduced an end-to-end header and eliminated the non-maximum suppression (NMS) requirement. → Tutorial:YOLOv10 real-time end-to-end object detection
• YOLOv11(2024)：Ultralytics latest model, supporting detection, segmentation, pose estimation, tracking and classification. → Tutorial:One-click deployment of YOLOv11
• YOLOv12 🚀 NEW(2025): The dual peaks of speed and accuracy, combined with the performance advantages of the attention mechanism!

This tutorial uses RTX 4090 as the computing resource.

1. After starting the container, click the API address to enter the Web interface

The output of an object detector is a set of bounding boxes that enclose the objects in the image, along with a class label and a confidence score for each bounding box. Object detection is a good choice if you need to identify objects of interest in a scene but don’t need to know their exact location or shape.

It is divided into the following two functions:

• Image detection
• Video Detection

2. Image detection

The input is an image and the output is an image with labels.

Figure 1 Image detection

3. Video Detection

The input is a video and the output is a video with labels.
