My open-source computer vision work, in the open
Most of what I build ships in public. My YOLO detection, tracking, segmentation and pose-estimation projects have earned 2,176 GitHub stars from engineers who put them to work. On top of that I’ve landed 735 merged pull requests across open source, including 464 into Ultralytics YOLO— so the tools I recommend are ones I actually help build.

Star growth across my repositories
Cumulative GitHub stars on the projects I own, reconstructed from every stargazer’s timestamp. The jump in 2022 is when my real-time YOLOv7 tracking, pose and segmentation repos took off, and the curve has climbed steadily ever since.

My work on Ultralytics YOLO
My biggest single body of open-source work is Ultralytics YOLO, where I’ve landed 464 merged pull requests— working across the detection, tracking, segmentation and solutions code, the documentation, and the example notebooks people use to get started.
That means when you read the YOLO docs, run a solutions example, or use an object counting, speed estimation or heatmap feature, there’s a good chance you’re touching something I helped build or write. It’s also why my advice on detection, tracking and deployment comes from the source, not from the outside.
