v8.3.87 - `ultralytics 8.3.87` New `Results.to_html` method for inference outputs (#19161)

on GitHub

🌟 Summary

The v8.3.87 release introduces a new Results.to_html() method for exporting inference results in HTML format, alongside various usability, compatibility, and documentation improvements.

📊 Key Changes

• HTML Export for Results: Added to_html() method to convert detection results into a web-friendly HTML format.
• Documentation Enhancements: Improved clarity and consistency in method descriptions and added a dedicated page for the COCO128 dataset.
• Compatibility Updates:
  • Added support for Ubuntu ARM CI runners and removed QEMU emulator for ARM64 Docker builds.
  • Restricted OpenVINO dependency to avoid version conflicts.
• Memory Management: Optimized GPU memory clearing to trigger only when usage exceeds 90%.
• Bug Fixes:
  • Resolved bounding box out-of-bounds issues in MNN examples.
  • Fixed multi-stream video result saving to avoid overwriting files.
• Classification Model Updates: Adjusted FLOPs calculations for classification models to align with the default image size of 224 pixels.
• Comet Integration: Added support for logging segmentation annotations in Comet.

🎯 Purpose & Impact

• Improved Usability:
  • The to_html() method simplifies sharing and visualizing inference results in a browser-friendly format.
  • Enhanced documentation, including COCO128 details, aids developers in testing and debugging.
• Broader Compatibility:
  • ARM support ensures better performance and inclusivity for ARM-based systems.
  • OpenVINO version constraints prevent compatibility issues.
• Optimized Performance:
  • Smarter GPU memory management avoids unnecessary slowdowns during training.
  • Faster ARM64 Docker builds reduce build times from 8 minutes to 2 minutes.
• Enhanced Functionality:
  • Segmentation support in Comet improves tracking and visualization for segmentation tasks.
  • Bug fixes ensure more reliable and accurate results across various use cases.
