What is YOLO?
YOLO is a family of real-time object detectors, including YOLOX, that predict boxes and classes on stills or video frames.

How it works
- Run it on an image or a frame row.
- Read boxes, classes, and scores.
- Filter frames by the classes you care about.
What it is not
It is not CLIP retrieval, and it is not a segmentation mask model.
YOLO: this, and the thing it is confused with
| This | Not this | |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | Built for real time | A two-stage detector’s default |
| Output | Boxes | A mask or a caption |
| On video | Once per sampled frame | Once on the whole file |
Where Pixeltable fits
Pixeltable calls YOLOX as a function on the frame column, for example yolox(frame, model_id=...).
