Automatic target detection in vehicle images based on YOLOv10 deep learning algorithm

In this paper, we explore the effect of its application in vehicle image detection based on the latest YOLOv10 model.YOLOv10, as the latest version in the YOLO series, inherits and optimises the advantages of the previous generations of models, aiming to provide higher detection accuracy and faster inference speed. In our experiments, we firstly divided the dataset reasonably and trained the YOLOv10 model with data from the training set. By analysing the Precision-Recall curve, we found that the area below the PR curve is larger, which indicates that the AUC value of the model is close to 1, thus reflecting the superiority of the model in classification performance. In addition, from the F1-confidence curve, the model is still able to maintain good classification results at higher confidence levels and maintains high F1 scores in most confidence intervals, which further validates the reliability of the model. Test results show that the trained YOLOv10 model is able to accurately recognise vehicles and effectively predict vehicle types. This enables the model to monitor the vehicle conditions on the road in real time and achieve accurate detection and classification of road traffic targets. Therefore, this paper demonstrates the powerful ability of YOLOv10 in the field of vehicle detection, which provides an important reference for the development of future intelligent transport systems. Overall, this study not only verifies the effectiveness of YOLOv10 in practical applications, but also lays the foundation for further improvement of target detection technology.
