YOLOE-26 Prompting (Text / Visual / Prompt-free)

Annolid supports Ultralytics YOLOE-26 segmentation models with:

  • Text prompts (choose classes by name)

  • Visual prompts (provide exemplar bounding boxes + class IDs)

  • Prompt-free YOLOE-26 variants (built-in vocabulary)

GUI (video inference)

Annolid’s video inference pipeline uses annolid/segmentation/yolos.py under the hood:

  • Selecting YOLOE-26: pick a YOLOE-26 preset from the model dropdown (for example YOLOE-26s-seg (Prompted) or YOLOE-26s-seg (Prompt-free)).

  • Text prompting: put a comma-separated class list in the Text Prompt field (e.g. person,bus) before running prediction with a YOLOE-26 model.

  • Visual prompting: draw and label rectangle shapes on the canvas; the rectangle labels become the class names for YOLOE and Annolid converts them into YOLOE visual prompts automatically.

  • Prompt-free YOLOE-26: select a *-pf.pt weight; Annolid will not override the internal vocabulary with prompts.
