+
+We are actively improving this library to reduce the amount of work you need to do to solve common computer vision problems.
+
+## Code of Conduct
+
+Please read and adhere to our [Code of Conduct](https://supervision.roboflow.com/latest/code_of_conduct/). This document outlines the expected behavior for all participants in our project.

+## Contribution Guidelines
+
+We welcome contributions to:
+
+1. Add a new feature to the library (guidance below).
+2. Improve our documentation and add examples to make it clear how to leverage the supervision library.
+3. Report bugs and issues in the project.
+4. Submit a request for a new feature.
+5. Improve our test coverage.
+
+### Contributing Features ✨
+
+Supervision is designed to provide generic utilities to solve problems. Thus, we focus on contributions that can have an impact on a wide range of projects.
+
+For example, counting objects that cross a line anywhere on an image is a common problem in computer vision, but counting objects that cross a line 75% of the way through is less useful.
+
+Before you contribute a new feature, consider submitting an Issue to discuss the feature so the community can weigh in and assist.
+
+### API Design Principles
+
+Supervision APIs should remain generic, composable, and predictable across model families. Before adding a new integration, annotator option, or data conversion method, check the existing `sv.Detections`, `sv.KeyPoints`, and annotator patterns and follow these principles:
+
+1. **Model integrations normalize raw external outputs into existing Supervision containers.** Use `sv.Detections` for detection, segmentation, and other instance-level predictions that include boxes, masks, class ids, confidence scores, or extra per-instance fields. Use `sv.KeyPoints` for standalone keypoint or pose predictions when keypoints exist independently of detection boxes (e.g. pure pose estimation, landmark detection on pre-cropped images). Use `Detections.keypoints` when keypoints are always co-incident with boxes from the same model — the field stores an `(n, K, 2)` or `(n, K, 3)` array where the optional third channel is per-point confidence in `[0, 1]`.
+2. **Do not add a `from_<model>` method when the model already returns a Supervision object.** `from_*` methods are for converting raw outputs from external packages such as Ultralytics, Transformers, Inference, or MediaPipe. If a model's `predict()` method already returns `sv.Detections`, keep that result type and store additional structured payloads in `detections.data` or `detections.metadata` using documented keys.
+3. **Annotators render data; filtering and visibility are container state.** Filtering by confidence, class id, tracker id, geometry, or custom data should happen before annotation through the container slicing APIs, for example `detections[detections.confidence > 0.7]` or `key_points[key_points.confidence > 0.5]`. Per-point presentation state, such as a `KeyPoints.visible` mask, may live on the container and be honored consistently by annotators.
+4. **Annotator constructor arguments should describe visual presentation, not model-quality gates.** Use constructor arguments for color, thickness, opacity, text, position, style, and generic visualization parameters such as sigma levels. Annotators may skip invalid geometry defensively, including missing points, zero-area boxes, non-finite coordinates, or points marked invisible on the container. They should not introduce confidence thresholds or model-specific quality gates as rendering options.
+
+## How to Contribute Changes
+
+First, fork this repository to your own GitHub account. Click "fork" in the top corner of the `supervision` repository to get started:
+
+![Forking the repository](https://media.roboflow.com/fork.png)
+
+![Creating a repository fork](https://media.roboflow.com/create_fork.png)
+
+Then, run `git clone` to download the project code to your computer.
+
+You should also set up `roboflow/supervision` as an "upstream" remote (that is, tell git that the reference Supervision repository was the source of your fork of it):
+
+```bash
+git remote add upstream https://github.com/roboflow/supervision.git
+git fetch upstream
+```
+
+Move to a new branch using the `git checkout` command:
+
+```bash
+git checkout -b <scope>/<your_branch_name> upstream/develop
+```
+
+The name you choose for your branch should describe the change you want to make and start with an appropriate prefix:
+
+- `feat/`: for new features (e.g., `feat/line-counter`)
+- `fix/`: for bug fixes (e.g., `fix/memory-leak`)
+- `docs/`: for documentation changes (e.g., `docs/update-readme`)
+- `chore/`: for routine tasks, maintenance, or tooling changes (e.g., `chore/update-dependencies`)
+- `test/`: for adding or modifying tests (e.g., `test/add-unit-tests`)
+- `refactor/`: for code refactoring (e.g., `refactor/simplify-algorithm`)
+
+Make any changes you want to the project code, then run the following commands to commit your changes:
+
+```bash
+git add -A
+git commit -m "feat: add line counter functionality"
+git push -u origin <your_branch_name>
+```
+
+Use conventional commit messages to clearly describe your changes. The format is:
+
+```
+<type>[optional scope]: <description>
+```
+
+Common types include:
+
+- `feat`: A new feature
+- `fix`: A bug fix
+- `docs`: Documentation only changes
+- `style`: Changes that do not affect the meaning of the code (white-space, formatting, etc)
+- `refactor`: A code change that neither fixes a bug nor adds a feature
+- `perf`: A code change that improves performance
+- `test`: Adding missing tests or correcting existing tests
+- `chore`: Changes to the build process or auxiliary tools and libraries
+
+Then, go back to your fork of the `supervision` repository, click "Pull Requests", and click "New Pull Request".
+
+![Opening a pull request](https://media.roboflow.com/open_pr.png)
+
+Make sure the `base` branch is `develop` before submitting your PR.
+
+On the next page, review your changes then click "Create pull request":
+
+![Configuring a pull request](https://media.roboflow.com/create_pr_submit.png)
+
+Next, write a description for your pull request, and click "Create pull request" again to submit it for review:
+
+![Submitting a pull request](https://media.roboflow.com/write_pr.png)
+
+When creating new functions, please ensure you have the following:
+
+1. Docstrings for the function and all parameters.
+2. Unit tests for the function.
+3. Examples in the documentation for the function.
+4. Created an entry in our docs to autogenerate the documentation for the function.
+5. Please share a Google Colab with minimal code to test a new feature or reproduce the issue whenever possible. Please ensure that Google Colab can be accessed without any restrictions.
+
+When you submit your Pull Request, you will be asked to sign a Contributor License Agreement (CLA) by the `cla-assistant` GitHub bot. We can only respond to PRs from contributors who have signed the project CLA.
+
+All pull requests will be reviewed by the maintainers of the project. We will provide feedback and ask for changes if necessary.
+
+PRs must pass all tests and linting requirements before they can be merged.
+
+## Installation for Contributors
+
+Before starting your work on the project, set up your development environment:
+
+1. **Clone your fork of the project:**
+
+   **Option A: Recommended for most contributors (shallow clone of develop branch):**
+
+   ```bash
+   git clone --depth 1 -b develop https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/supervision.git
+   cd supervision
+   ```
+
+   Replace `YOUR_USERNAME` with your GitHub username.
+
+   > **Note**: Using `--depth 1` creates a shallow clone with minimal history and `-b develop` ensures you start with the development branch. This significantly reduces download size while providing everything needed to contribute.
+
+   **Option B: Full repository clone (if you need complete history):**
+
+   ```bash
+   git clone https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/supervision.git
+   cd supervision
+   git checkout develop
+   ```
+
+2. **Set up the upstream remote:**
+
+   ```bash
+   git remote add upstream https://github.com/roboflow/supervision.git
+   git fetch upstream
+   ```
+
+3. **Create and activate a virtual environment:**
+
+   **On Linux/macOS:**
+
+   ```bash
+   python3 -m venv .venv
+   source .venv/bin/activate
+   ```
+
+   **On Windows:**
+
+   ```cmd
+   python -m venv .venv
+   .venv\Scripts\activate
+   ```
+
+4. **Install `uv`:**
+
+   Follow the instructions on the [uv installation page](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/).
+
+5. **Install project dependencies:**
+
+   ```bash
+   uv pip install -r pyproject.toml --group dev --group docs --extra metrics
+   ```
+
+6. **Verify the setup:**
+
+   ```bash
+   uv run pytest
+   ```
+
+## 🎨 Code Style and Quality
+
+### Pre-commit tool
+
+This project uses the [pre-commit](https://pre-commit.com/) tool to maintain code quality and consistency. Before submitting a pull request or making any commits, it is important to run the pre-commit tool to ensure that your changes meet the project's guidelines.
+
+Furthermore, we have integrated a pre-commit GitHub Action into our workflow. This means that with every pull request opened, the pre-commit checks will be automatically enforced, streamlining the code review process and ensuring that all contributions adhere to our quality standards.
+
+To run the pre-commit tool, follow these steps:
+
+1. **Install pre-commit** (already included if you followed the installation steps above):
+
+   ```bash
+   uv sync --group dev
+   ```
+
+2. **Navigate to the project's root directory** (if not already there).
+
+3. **Run pre-commit checks**:
+
+   ```bash
+   uv run pre-commit run --all-files
+   ```
+
+   This will execute the pre-commit hooks configured for this project. If any issues are found, the pre-commit tool will provide feedback on how to resolve them. Make the necessary changes and re-run the command until all issues are resolved.
+
+4. **Install pre-commit as a git hook** (optional but recommended):
+
+   ```bash
+   uv run pre-commit install
+   ```
+
+   This will automatically run pre-commit checks every time you make a `git commit`.
+
+### Docstrings
+
+All new functions and classes in `supervision` should include docstrings. This is a prerequisite for any new functions and classes to be added to the library.
+
+`supervision` adheres to the [Google Python docstring style](https://google.github.io/styleguide/pyguide.html#383-functions-and-methods). Please refer to the style guide while writing docstrings for your contribution.
+
+Every docstring should include a usage example. When the example only uses `supervision`, NumPy, and the standard library — no optional extras, no external files or network access — strongly prefer `>>>` doctest format so it is automatically verified by the test suite. See [Doctests](#doctests) below for syntax guidance and for when fenced ```` ```python ```` blocks are appropriate instead.
+
+### Type checking
+
+Type hints are required on all new code. mypy is enforced by the pre-commit hook configured in `.pre-commit-config.yaml` — your PR will fail CI if mypy reports errors.
+
+### Readability
+
+Avoid multi-branch conditional expressions inside function or constructor arguments. If an argument needs more than a simple `a if condition else b`, assign it to a named local variable before the call.
+
+### Performance
+
+- Avoid unnecessary copies of NumPy arrays.
+- Prefer vectorized operations over Python loops in hot paths.
+- Lazy-import heavy framework dependencies (`torch`, `transformers`, `ultralytics`) inside the function that needs them — never at module top level.
+
+### Deprecation policy
+
+**Minimum window**: deprecated APIs must remain for at least **3 minor releases** before removal. Example: deprecated in `0.29.0` → removed in `0.32.0`.
+
+Use the appropriate mechanism depending on what is being deprecated:
+
+- **Module-level alias**: `supervision.utils.internal.warn_deprecated` in the deprecated module's `__init__.py`
+- **Renamed parameter**: `supervision.utils.internal.deprecated_parameter` decorator
+- **Public function, method, or class**: `@deprecated` from `pydeprecate`
+
+Always specify both the deprecation version and the planned removal version in the message or decorator arguments.
+
+### Deprecated module aliases
+
+`supervision.keypoint` is deprecated since `0.27.0` and will be removed in `0.30.0`. Always import from `supervision.key_points`:
+
+```python
+from supervision.key_points import KeyPoints  # correct
+```
+
+## 📝 Documentation
+
+The `supervision` documentation is stored in a folder called `docs`. The project documentation is built using `mkdocs`.
+
+To run the documentation locally:
+
+1. **Install documentation dependencies** (if not already installed):
+
+   ```bash
+   uv sync --group docs
+   ```
+
+2. **Start the documentation server**:
+
+   ```bash
+   uv run mkdocs serve
+   ```
+
+3. **Access the documentation** at `http://127.0.0.1:8000` in your browser.
+
+You can learn more about mkdocs on the [mkdocs website](https://www.mkdocs.org/).
+
+## 🧑‍🍳 Cookbooks
+
+We are always looking for new examples and cookbooks to add to the `supervision` documentation. If you have a use case that you think would be helpful to others, please submit a PR with your example. Here are some guidelines for submitting a new example:
+
+- Create a new notebook in the [`docs/notebooks`](https://github.com/roboflow/supervision/tree/develop/docs/notebooks) folder.
+- Add a link to the new notebook in [`docs/theme/cookbooks.html`](https://github.com/roboflow/supervision/blob/develop/docs/theme/cookbooks.html). Make sure to add the path to the new notebook, as well as a title, labels, author and supervision version.
+- Use the [Count Objects Crossing the Line](https://supervision.roboflow.com/develop/notebooks/count-objects-crossing-the-line/) example as a template for your new example.
+- Pin the version of `supervision` you are using in the notebook.
+- Place an appropriate "Open in Colab" button at the top of the notebook. You can find an example of such a button in the aforementioned `Count Objects Crossing the Line` cookbook.
+- **Notebook should be self-contained**. If you rely on external data (videos, images, etc.) or libraries, include download and installation commands in the notebook.
+- Annotate the code with appropriate comments, including links to the documentation describing each of the tools you have used.
+
+## 🧪 Tests
+
+[`pytest`](https://docs.pytest.org/en/7.1.x/) is used to run our tests.
+
+To run tests:
+
+```bash
+uv run pytest
+```
+
+To run tests with coverage:
+
+```bash
+uv run pytest --cov=supervision
+```
+
+### Test Structure
+
+Follow **Arrange-Act-Assert (AAA)**: one setup block, one action, one assertion group per test. Never put two independent actions in the same test.
+
+**Class grouping:** Group related tests into a class. The class name carries the unit under test; method names describe the expected outcome only — not the mechanism.
+
+```python
+class TestDetectionsWithNms:
+    def test_keeps_highest_confidence_detection(self): ...
+    def test_suppresses_lower_score_when_overlap_exceeds_threshold(self): ...
+    def test_raises_when_confidence_missing(self): ...
+```
+
+**Parametrize aggressively:** Three or more structurally identical tests should become a single `@pytest.mark.parametrize` case. Use `pytest.param(..., id="slug")` per case — not `ids=[...]` on the decorator — so the ID stays co-located with its arguments and survives reordering.
+
+```python
+@pytest.mark.parametrize(
+    ("overlap_metric", "expected_keep"),
+    [
+        pytest.param(OverlapMetric.IOU, [True, True], id="iou-keeps-both"),
+        pytest.param(OverlapMetric.IOS, [True, False], id="ios-suppresses-small"),
+    ],
+)
+def test_overlap_metric_determines_suppression(
+    overlap_metric: OverlapMetric, expected_keep: list[bool]
+) -> None:
+    """Small box inside large: IOU keeps both; IOS suppresses small."""
+    ...
+```
+
+**Docstrings:** Every test function/method requires at minimum a one-line docstring (within the project line length configured in `pyproject.toml`). Describe the scenario, not the implementation.
+
+### Doctests
+
+**Guidance:** when an example uses only `supervision`, NumPy, and the standard library — no optional extras (e.g. no `--extra metrics` packages), no external files, no network, no devices — prefer `>>>` doctest format so it is automatically verified by the test suite. Fenced ```` ```python ```` blocks are appropriate when the example cannot reasonably be executed (e.g. loading a third-party model, reading a video file) or when the primary purpose is demonstrating error/exception behaviour rather than return values.
+
+Doctests run automatically as part of the test suite via `--doctest-modules` in `pyproject.toml`. The `ELLIPSIS` and `NORMALIZE_WHITESPACE` flags are enabled globally, so `...` matches any output fragment and minor whitespace differences are ignored.
+
+```bash
+uv run pytest --doctest-modules src/
+```
+
+**Writing a doctest**
+
+Use the `Example:` section of a Google-style docstring. Prefix each input line with `>>>` and each continuation line with `...`. Place expected output immediately after the last input line with no blank line between them.
+
+```python
+def clip_boxes(xyxy: np.ndarray, resolution_wh: tuple) -> np.ndarray:
+    """Clip bounding boxes to frame boundaries.
+
+    Args:
+        xyxy: Box coordinates as (N, 4) float array.
+        resolution_wh: Frame size as (width, height).
+
+    Returns:
+        Clipped boxes as (N, 4) float array.
+
+    Example:
+        >>> import numpy as np
+        >>> import supervision as sv
+        >>> boxes = np.array([[-10, -5, 120, 80]], dtype=np.float32)
+        >>> sv.clip_boxes(boxes, resolution_wh=(100, 60))
+        array([[ 0.,  0., 100.,  60.]], dtype=float32)
+    """
+```
+
+### Key rules
+
+- **Single-line expression** — write the repr as expected output: `>>> len(result)` → `1`
+- **Multi-line statement** — use `...` continuation: `>>> arr = np.array([` / `...     [1, 2],` / `... ])`
+- **Print output** — write the printed string as expected output (no quotes).
+- **`None` return** — no output line needed (suppress with assignment or `_ =`).
+- **Large/variable arrays** — use `ELLIPSIS`: `array([...])` matches any content.
+- **`# doctest: +SKIP`** — use only as a last resort for genuinely non-runnable lines (e.g. a GPU-only call inside an otherwise runnable example). Prefer splitting the example into two blocks instead.
+
+Fenced ```` ```python ```` blocks remain appropriate for:
+
+- Examples that import optional extras (`supervision[metrics]`, `torch`, `ultralytics`).
+- Examples that read files, capture video, or require a running service.
+- Illustrative pseudocode that is intentionally incomplete.
+
+## 🔍 PR Review Guidelines

+- 5/5 🟢 Excellent — 4/5 🟢 Good — 3/5 🟡 Acceptable — 2/5 🟠 Needs Work — 1/5 🔴 Poor
+- Check: correctness (edge cases, None checks, bounds), Python best practices (idiomatic patterns, error handling, type hints), project conventions (docstrings, linting, import order, PEP 8 naming)
+
+**Testing (n/5):**
+
+- 5/5 🟢 Comprehensive — 4/5 🟢 Good — 3/5 🟡 Adequate — 2/5 🟠 Insufficient — 1/5 🔴 Missing
+- Verify: unit tests for new code, edge cases covered, specific assertions, realistic scenarios, clear test names
+
+**Documentation (n/5):**
+
+- 5/5 🟢 Excellent — 4/5 🟢 Good — 3/5 🟡 Adequate — 2/5 🟠 Insufficient — 1/5 🔴 Missing
+- Confirm: docstrings for public functions/classes, parameters/returns/exceptions documented, usage examples, mkdocs integration, changelog entry for user-facing changes
+
+### Risk Assessment
+
+Flag risks with severity (5/5 🔴 Critical — 4/5 🟠 High — 3/5 🟡 Medium — 2/5 🟢 Low — 1/5 🟢 Negligible):
+
+**Common risk categories:**
+
+1. **Breaking changes** — API changes, removed features, behavior modifications (must include migration guide)
+2. **Performance** — Inefficient algorithms, memory-intensive operations, bottlenecks
+3. **Compatibility** — New Python/dependency requirements, platform-specific code
+4. **Security** — Unvalidated input, code execution risks, data exposure
+
+### Review Summary Template
+
+```markdown
+## Review Summary
+
+**Recommendation:** [emoji] [Status] — [justification]
+
+**PR Completeness:**
+- ✅ Complete: [items]
+- ❌ Missing: [gaps]
+
+**Quality Scores:**
+- Code: n/5 [emoji] — [reason]
+- Testing: n/5 [emoji] — [reason]
+- Documentation: n/5 [emoji] — [reason]
+
+**Risk Level:** n/5 [emoji] — [description]
+
+**Critical Issues (Must Fix):**
+1. [Issue] — See comment on `file.py`
+
+**Suggestions (Optional):**
+1. [Improvement] — See suggestion on `file.py`
+
+**Next Steps:**
+1. [Action item]
+```
+
+### Review Best Practices
+
+**DO:** Use inline GitHub comments with suggestions, explain *why* (not just *what*), distinguish blocking vs. nice-to-have, acknowledge good work, run linter if needed (`uv run pre-commit run --all-files`)
+
+**DON'T:** Mention line numbers in summary (use inline comments), give vague feedback, nitpick style (defer to tools), assume knowledge of conventions, block on minor issues
+
+**Tone:** Be respectful, specific, pragmatic, and consistent. Focus on actionable feedback that moves PRs toward merge.

+# GitHub Copilot Instructions for Supervision
+
+This file provides context-aware guidance for GitHub Copilot when working in the Supervision repository.
+
+______________________________________________________________________
+
+## 📚 Repository Overview
+
+**Supervision** is a Python library providing reusable computer vision utilities for working with object detection models (YOLO, SAM, etc.). It offers tools for detections processing, tracking, annotation, and dataset management.
+
+- **Languages**: Python 3.10+
+- **Key Dependencies**: NumPy, OpenCV, SciPy
+- **License**: MIT
+
+______________________________________________________________________
+
+## 🏗️ Project Structure
+
+```
+supervision/
+├── src/
+│   └── supervision/     # Main library code
+│       ├── detection/   # Detection utilities
+│       ├── draw/        # Annotation and visualization
+│       ├── tracker/     # Object tracking
+│       ├── dataset/     # Dataset management
+│       └── utils/       # Shared utilities
+├── tests/               # Test suite (mirrors src/supervision/)
+├── docs/                # MkDocs documentation
+└── examples/            # Usage examples
+```
+
+______________________________________________________________________
+
+## 🔧 Development Commands
+
+**Setup:**
+
+```bash
+# Install dependencies
+uv sync --group dev --group docs --extra metrics
+
+# Install pre-commit hooks
+uv run pre-commit install
+```
+
+**Quality Checks:**
+
+```bash
+# Run all pre-commit hooks (formatting, linting, type checking)
+uv run pre-commit run --all-files
+
+# Run tests with coverage
+uv run pytest --cov=supervision
+```
+
+**Documentation:**
+
+```bash
+# Serve docs locally at http://127.0.0.1:8000
+uv run mkdocs serve
+```
+
+______________________________________________________________________
+
+## 💻 Code Conventions
+
+### General Guidelines
+
+- Follow **[AGENTS.md](../AGENTS.md)** for task-based development workflows
+- Reference **[CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md)** for detailed contribution guidelines
+- All code must pass `pre-commit` hooks before committing
+
+### Code Style
+
+- **Formatting**: Enforced by `ruff-format`, `prettier` (pre-commit)
+- **Linting**: Enforced by `ruff-check` (pre-commit)
+- **Type Hints**: Required on all new code
+- **Docstrings**: Required using [Google Python style](https://google.github.io/styleguide/pyguide.html#383-functions-and-methods)
+  - Must include usage examples with primitive values
+  - Serve as runnable documentation
+
+### Performance
+
+- Avoid unnecessary NumPy array copies
+- Prefer vectorized operations over Python loops
+- Use OpenCV operations efficiently
+
+### API Design
+
+- Follow existing naming patterns for consistency
+- Maintain backward compatibility unless explicitly breaking
+- Prefer functional utilities over complex classes
+
+______________________________________________________________________
+
+## 🧪 Testing Requirements
+
+All new features must include:
+
+- Unit tests covering happy path and edge cases
+- Tests for `None`, empty inputs, large arrays, boundary conditions
+- Clear test names describing what they validate
+- Proper assertions (not just "no exception raised")
+
+______________________________________________________________________
+
+## 📝 Documentation Requirements
+
+For new public functions/classes:
+
+- Google-style docstrings with parameters, returns, exceptions
+- Usage examples in docstrings
+- Entry in appropriate `docs/*.md` file
+- Reference in `mkdocs.yml` navigation
+
+______________________________________________________________________
+
+## 🔍 Pull Request Reviews
+
+**When reviewing PRs, follow the comprehensive [PR Review Guidelines](CONTRIBUTING.md#pr-review-guidelines).**
+
+Quick checklist:
+
+- Tests included and passing
+- Docstrings follow Google style with examples
+- Pre-commit hooks pass
+- Breaking changes documented
+- Score code quality, testing, docs (n/5 scale)
+- Use inline comments + GitHub suggestion format
+
+______________________________________________________________________
+
+## 🌿 Branching & Commits
+
+- Branch from `develop` using prefixes: `feat/`, `fix/`, `docs/`, `refactor/`, `perf/`, `test/`, `chore/`
+- Use **conventional commits**: `feat:`, `fix:`, `docs:`, `refactor:`, `perf:`, `test:`, `chore:`
+- All PRs target `develop` branch
+
+______________________________________________________________________
+
+## 🎯 Context-Aware Behavior
+
+- **For general development tasks**: Follow [AGENTS.md](../AGENTS.md)
+- **For pull request reviews**: Follow [PR Review Guidelines](CONTRIBUTING.md#pr-review-guidelines)
+- **For detailed processes**: Consult [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md)

+# Agent Guidelines for `supervision`
+
+Behave like a senior contributor: precise, efficient, maintainable. When this file and [CONTRIBUTING.md](.github/CONTRIBUTING.md) conflict, **CONTRIBUTING.md wins**.
+
+______________________________________________________________________
+
+## 1. Before You Code
+
+- Read the task thoroughly; group clarifications into one ask.
+- Outline a plan before making changes.
+- Check whether the feature already exists under a different name.
+- Confirm alignment with `src/supervision/` architecture.
+
+______________________________________________________________________
+
+## 2. Repository Architecture
+
+**Package root**: `src/supervision/` — all library code. **Tests**: `tests/` — mirrors `src/supervision/`. **Public API**: `src/supervision/__init__.py`.
+
+```
+src/supervision/
+├── detection/
+│   ├── core.py          — Detections dataclass; all model connectors as classmethods
+│   ├── compact_mask.py  — compact mask representation
+│   ├── vlm.py           — VLM connectors (Florence-2, Gemini, Qwen, PaliGemma)
+│   ├── utils/           — pure NumPy helpers: boxes, converters, iou_and_nms, masks, polygons
+│   ├── line_zone.py     — LineZone
+│   └── tools/           — InferenceSlicer, PolygonZone, CSVSink, JSONSink, DetectionsSmoother
+├── annotators/core.py   — BoxAnnotator, MaskAnnotator, LabelAnnotator, … each: .annotate(scene, detections)
+├── key_points/          — KeyPoints, EdgeAnnotator, VertexAnnotator (use this, NOT keypoint/ — see §4)
+├── tracker/             — DEPRECATED
+├── dataset/core.py      — DetectionDataset / ClassificationDataset (YOLO / COCO / Pascal VOC)
+├── geometry/core.py     — Point, Rect, Vector, Position
+├── metrics/             — mAP, confusion matrix (requires --extra metrics)
+├── utils/internal.py    — warn_deprecated, deprecated_parameter, internal helpers
+└── config.py            — string constants; always import from here, never use literals
+```
+
+### Key design patterns
+
+- **`Detections` is the lingua franca** — every connector, tracker, and annotator speaks `Detections`. New connector = `@classmethod from_<framework>(cls, result) -> Detections`.
+- **Annotators are composable** — receive `scene` (BGR `np.ndarray`) + `detections`, return annotated copy.
+- **`data` dict extensibility** — per-detection metadata in `detections.data` as `np.ndarray` aligned with `xyxy`. Keys are constants from `config.py`.
+- **Vectorized throughout** — NumPy arrays, no Python loops in hot paths. Never write `for det in detections`.
+- **Lazy-import heavy deps** — `torch`, `transformers`, `ultralytics` must be imported inside the function that needs them, never at module top level.
+
+______________________________________________________________________
+
+## 3. Agent-Critical Rules
+
+These supplement [CONTRIBUTING.md](.github/CONTRIBUTING.md) — covering gaps or agent-specific failure modes.
+
+**Doc headings**: `###` max in docstrings and docs. `####` renders identically to bold in mkdocs — use `**bold**` instead.
+
+**Type hints**: required on all new code. mypy is enforced by pre-commit (`.pre-commit-config.yaml`).
+
+**Function docstrings**: every new or modified function, including private helpers and tests, must have a succinct docstring explaining its purpose. Put function-level why/what/how context inside the function docstring, not in a comment before the function. Public APIs still require the full Google-style structure described below.
+
+**Readable argument lists**: do not put multi-branch conditional expressions inside function or constructor arguments. If an argument needs more than a simple `a if condition else b`, assign it to a named local variable before the call.
+
+**Inline comments**: write code so the intent is clear from names, small helpers, and straightforward control flow. For non-trivial logic inside a function that still needs context, add concise inline comments explaining why the code exists, what invariant it protects, and how the tricky part works. Do not put comments before functions; use the function docstring instead. Do not comment obvious assignments, mechanical plumbing, lint-only changes, typing-only changes, or pure docs edits.
+
+**Doctest determinism** — output must be reproducible across platforms:
+
+- Use `# doctest: +ELLIPSIS` for floats that vary by platform.
+- Seed any RNG before calling it.
+- Never assert `dict` or `set` iteration order.
+- No network or filesystem access outside `supervision/assets/`.
+
+**⚠ Test structure** — agents frequently fail here; read [CONTRIBUTING.md §Tests](.github/CONTRIBUTING.md#-tests) carefully: AAA structure, class grouping, parametrize with `pytest.param(..., id="slug")`, one-line docstring per test.
+
+For branching, commit, code style, and API design conventions see [CONTRIBUTING.md](.github/CONTRIBUTING.md).
+
+______________________________________________________________________
+
+## 4. Deprecated Module Aliases
+
+`supervision.keypoint` deprecated since `0.27.0`, removed in `0.31.0`. Always import from `supervision.key_points`, not `supervision.keypoint`.
+
+______________________________________________________________________
+
+## 5. Deprecating APIs
+
+**Minimum window**: deprecated APIs must remain for at least **3 minor releases** before removal. Example: deprecated in `0.29.0` → removed in `0.32.0`.
+
+- Module-level: `supervision.utils.internal.warn_deprecated` in the deprecated module's own `__init__.py`
+- Parameter renamed (old→new): `supervision.utils.internal.deprecated_parameter` decorator
+- Public function, method, or class: `@deprecated` from `pydeprecate`
+
+Always name the version introduced and the removal version:
+
+```python
+warn_deprecated("'foo' deprecated in `0.29.0`, removed in `0.32.0`. Use 'bar'.")
+```
+
+______________________________________________________________________
+
+## 6. Implementing Features
+
+- Minimal implementation; type hints and Google docstrings with usage examples.
+- Tests covering new functionality and edge cases (see [CONTRIBUTING.md §Tests](.github/CONTRIBUTING.md#-tests)).
+- Update docstrings and mkdocs entries as needed.
+- Update [docs/changelog.md](docs/changelog.md) for every functional change or bug fix, including user-visible behavior changes. Skip changelog entries for lint-only, type-only, formatting-only, and pure documentation-only changes.
+
+**Extending `Detections`**: store metadata in `detections.data` as `np.ndarray` aligned with `xyxy`; define the key as a constant in `config.py` (e.g. `CLASS_NAME_DATA_FIELD`, `ORIENTED_BOX_COORDINATES`).
+
+**New model connector** (`detection/core.py`):
+
+```python
+@classmethod
+def from_myframework(cls, result) -> "Detections":
+    import myframework  # noqa: F401 — lazy import
+
+    xyxy = ...  # (N, 4)
+    return cls(
+        xyxy=xyxy,
+        confidence=...,
+        class_id=...,
+        data={CLASS_NAME_DATA_FIELD: np.array([...])},
+    )
+```
+
+VLM connectors go in `detection/vlm.py`, not `core.py`.
+
+______________________________________________________________________
+
+## 7. Bugs & Refactoring
+
+**Bugs**: reproduce → write failing test → minimal fix → verify no regressions.
+
+**Refactoring**: preserve behavior and API; reduce duplication; avoid sweeping changes unless requested; apply §5 deprecation when removing public API.
+
+______________________________________________________________________
+
+## 8. Before You Commit
+
+```bash
+uv run pytest --cov=supervision
+uv run pre-commit run --all-files
+```
+
+Capture a baseline before changes to avoid introducing new failures:
+
+```bash
+STASH_BEFORE=$(git rev-parse refs/stash 2>/dev/null)
+git stash push --include-untracked
+uv run pytest -q 2>&1 | tee /tmp/baseline.txt
+[ "$(git rev-parse refs/stash 2>/dev/null)" != "$STASH_BEFORE" ] && git stash pop
+uv run pytest -q 2>&1 | tee /tmp/after.txt
+diff /tmp/baseline.txt /tmp/after.txt
+```
+
+Any test passing in baseline but failing after = blocker.

-## Contribution Guidelines
-
-We welcome contributions to:
-
-1. Add a new feature to the library (guidance below).
-2. Improve our documentation and add examples to make it clear how to leverage the supervision library.
-3. Report bugs and issues in the project.
-4. Submit a request for a new feature.
-5. Improve our test coverage.
-
-### Contributing Features ✨
-
-Supervision is designed to provide generic utilities to solve problems. Thus, we focus on contributions that can have an impact on a wide range of projects.
-
-For example, counting objects that cross a line anywhere on an image is a common problem in computer vision, but counting objects that cross a line 75% of the way through is less useful.
-
-Before you contribute a new feature, consider submitting an Issue to discuss the feature so the community can weigh in and assist.
-
-## How to Contribute Changes
-
-First, fork this repository to your own GitHub account. Click "fork" in the top corner of the `supervision` repository to get started:
-
-![Forking the repository](https://media.roboflow.com/fork.png)
-
-![Creating a repository fork](https://media.roboflow.com/create_fork.png)
-
-Then, run `git clone` to download the project code to your computer.
-
-You should also set up `roboflow/supervision` as an "upstream" remote (that is, tell git that the reference Supervision repository was the source of your fork of it):
-
-```bash
-git remote add upstream https://github.com/roboflow/supervision.git
-git fetch upstream
-```
-
-Move to a new branch using the `git checkout` command:
-
-```bash
-git checkout -b <scope>/<your_branch_name> upstream/develop
-```
-
-The name you choose for your branch should describe the change you want to make and start with an appropriate prefix:
-
-- `feat/`: for new features (e.g., `feat/line-counter`)
-- `fix/`: for bug fixes (e.g., `fix/memory-leak`)
-- `docs/`: for documentation changes (e.g., `docs/update-readme`)
-- `chore/`: for routine tasks, maintenance, or tooling changes (e.g., `chore/update-dependencies`)
-- `test/`: for adding or modifying tests (e.g., `test/add-unit-tests`)
-- `refactor/`: for code refactoring (e.g., `refactor/simplify-algorithm`)
-
-Make any changes you want to the project code, then run the following commands to commit your changes:
-
-```bash
-git add -A
-git commit -m "feat: add line counter functionality"
-git push -u origin <your_branch_name>
-```
-
-Use conventional commit messages to clearly describe your changes. The format is:
-
-<type>\[optional scope\]: <description>
-
-Common types include:
-
-- feat: A new feature
-- fix: A bug fix
-- docs: Documentation only changes
-- style: Changes that do not affect the meaning of the code (white-space, formatting, etc)
-- refactor: A code change that neither fixes a bug nor adds a feature
-- perf: A code change that improves performance
-- test: Adding missing tests or correcting existing tests
-- chore: Changes to the build process or auxiliary tools and libraries
-
-Then, go back to your fork of the `supervision` repository, click "Pull Requests", and click "New Pull Request".
-
-![Opening a pull request](https://media.roboflow.com/open_pr.png)
-
-Make sure the `base` branch is `develop` before submitting your PR.
-
-On the next page, review your changes then click "Create pull request":
-
-![Configuring a pull request](https://media.roboflow.com/create_pr_submit.png)
-
-Next, write a description for your pull request, and click "Create pull request" again to submit it for review:
-
-![Submitting a pull request](https://media.roboflow.com/write_pr.png)
-
-When creating new functions, please ensure you have the following:
-
-1. Docstrings for the function and all parameters.
-2. Unit tests for the function.
-3. Examples in the documentation for the function.
-4. Created an entry in our docs to autogenerate the documentation for the function.
-5. Please share a Google Colab with minimal code to test new feature or reproduce PR whenever it is possible. Please ensure that Google Colab can be accessed without any issue.
-
-When you submit your Pull Request, you will be asked to sign a Contributor License Agreement (CLA) by the `cla-assistant` GitHub bot. We can only respond to PRs from contributors who have signed the project CLA.
-
-All pull requests will be reviewed by the maintainers of the project. We will provide feedback and ask for changes if necessary.
-
-PRs must pass all tests and linting requirements before they can be merged.
-
-## Installation for Contributors
-
-Before starting your work on the project, set up your development environment:
-
-1. Clone your fork of the project (recommended to use shallow clone of develop branch):
-
-    **Option A: Recommended for most contributors (shallow clone of develop branch):**
-
-    ```bash
-    git clone --depth 1 -b develop https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/supervision.git
-    cd supervision
-    ```
-
-    Replace `YOUR_USERNAME` with your GitHub username.
-
-    > Note: Using `--depth 1` creates a shallow clone with minimal history and `-b develop` ensures you start with the development branch. This significantly reduces download size while providing everything needed to contribute.
-
-    **Option B: Full repository clone (if you need complete history):**
-
-    ```bash
-    git clone https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/supervision.git
-    cd supervision
-    ```
-
-2. Create and activate a virtual environment:
-
-    ```bash
-    python3 -m venv .venv
-    source .venv/bin/activate
-    ```
-
-3. Install `uv`:
-
-    Follow the instructions on the [uv installation page](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/).
-
-4. Install project dependencies:
-
-    ```bash
-    uv pip install -r pyproject.toml --extra dev --extra docs --extra metrics
-    ```
-
-5. Run pytest to verify the setup:
-
-    ```bash
-    uv run pytest
-    ```
-
-## 🎨 Code Style and Quality
-
-### Pre-commit tool
-
-This project uses the [pre-commit](https://pre-commit.com/) tool to maintain code quality and consistency. Before submitting a pull request or making any commits, it is important to run the pre-commit tool to ensure that your changes meet the project's guidelines.
-
-Furthermore, we have integrated a pre-commit GitHub Action into our workflow. This means that with every pull request opened, the pre-commit checks will be automatically enforced, streamlining the code review process and ensuring that all contributions adhere to our quality standards.
-
-To run the pre-commit tool, follow these steps:
-
-1. Install pre-commit by running the following command: `uv pip install -r pyproject.toml --extra dev`. It will not only install pre-commit but also install all the deps and dev-deps of project
-
-2. Once pre-commit is installed, navigate to the project's root directory.
-
-3. Run the command `pre-commit run --all-files`. This will execute the pre-commit hooks configured for this project against the modified files. If any issues are found, the pre-commit tool will provide feedback on how to resolve them. Make the necessary changes and re-run the pre-commit command until all issues are resolved.
-
-4. You can also install pre-commit as a git hook by executing `pre-commit install`. Every time you do a `git commit` pre-commit run automatically for you.
-
-### Docstrings
-
-All new functions and classes in `supervision` should include docstrings. This is a prerequisite for any new functions and classes to be added to the library.
-
-`supervision` adheres to the [Google Python docstring style](https://google.github.io/styleguide/pyguide.html#383-functions-and-methods). Please refer to the style guide while writing docstrings for your contribution.
-
-### Type checking
-
-So far, **there is no type checking with mypy**. See [issue](https://github.com/roboflow-ai/template-python/issues/4).
-
-## 📝 Documentation
-
-The `supervision` documentation is stored in a folder called `docs`. The project documentation is built using `mkdocs`.
-
-To run the documentation, install the project requirements with `uv pip install -r pyproject.toml --extra dev --extra docs`. Then, run `mkdocs serve` to start the documentation server.
-
-You can learn more about mkdocs on the [mkdocs website](https://www.mkdocs.org/).
-
-## 🧑‍🍳 Cookbooks
-
-We are always looking for new examples and cookbooks to add to the `supervision`
-documentation. If you have a use case that you think would be helpful to others, please
-submit a PR with your example. Here are some guidelines for submitting a new example:
-
-- Create a new notebook in the [`docs/notebooks`](https://github.com/roboflow/supervision/tree/develop/docs/notebooks) folder.
-- Add a link to the new notebook in [`docs/theme/cookbooks.html`](https://github.com/roboflow/supervision/blob/develop/docs/theme/cookbooks.html). Make sure to add the path to the new notebook, as well as a title, labels, author and supervision version.
-- Use the [Count Objects Crossing the Line](https://supervision.roboflow.com/develop/notebooks/count-objects-crossing-the-line/) example as a template for your new example.
-- Freeze the version of `supervision` you are using.
-- Place an appropriate Open in Colab button at the top of the notebook. You can find an example of such a button in the aforementioned `Count Objects Crossing the Line` cookbook.
-- Notebook should be self-contained. If you rely on external data ( videos, images, etc.) or libraries, include download and installation commands in the notebook.
-- Annotate the code with appropriate comments, including links to the documentation describing each of the tools you have used.
-
-## 🧪 Tests
-
-[`pytests`](https://docs.pytest.org/en/7.1.x/) is used to run our tests.

+description: About Supervision, Roboflow's open-source Python library for building reusable computer vision workflows.
+---
+
+# About Supervision
+
+Supervision is an open-source Python library by Roboflow for building computer vision applications. It gives developers a model-agnostic toolkit for loading predictions, annotating images and video, tracking objects, counting detections in zones, processing datasets, and evaluating model performance.
+
+The project centers on a unified `Detections` API with converters for supported outputs from Ultralytics, Roboflow Inference, Hugging Face Transformers, SAM, Detectron2, MMDetection, YOLO-NAS, PaddleDet, NCNN, Azure AI Vision, and VLM parsers such as Florence-2, PaliGemma, Qwen VL, Gemini, DeepSeek VL 2, and Moondream. That common representation lets teams change models without rewriting annotation, filtering, tracking, dataset, or metrics code.
+
+Supervision is maintained by Roboflow and an open-source contributor community. The library is MIT licensed, developed in public on GitHub, and published on PyPI.

+            `MaskAnnotator` expects `detections.mask` to contain instance segmentation masks aligned to the image passed to `annotate`. For dense masks, provide a boolean array of shape `(N, H, W)` where `(H, W)` matches the image height and width (it also accepts `sv.CompactMask`). If your model returns framework-specific results, convert them to `sv.Detections` first, for example with `sv.Detections.from_ultralytics(...)` or `sv.Detections.from_inference(...)`.

 # InferenceSlicer
 
+## GeoTIFF Datasets
+
+Install the optional GeoTIFF dependencies before running this example:
+
+```bash
+pip install "supervision[geotiff]"
+wget -O RGB.byte.tif https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rasterio/rasterio/main/tests/data/RGB.byte.tif
+```
+
+`InferenceSlicer` can read an open `rasterio` dataset window-by-window. This keeps large GeoTIFFs out of memory while passing each tile to the callback as an `(H, W, C)` NumPy array.
+
+```python
+import numpy as np
+import rasterio
+import supervision as sv
+
+
+def callback(tile: np.ndarray) -> sv.Detections:
+    h, w = tile.shape[:2]
+    return sv.Detections(
+        xyxy=np.array([[w * 0.25, h * 0.25, w * 0.75, h * 0.75]], dtype=float),
+        confidence=np.array([0.9]),
+        class_id=np.array([0]),
+    )
+

+)
+
+with rasterio.open("RGB.byte.tif") as dataset:
+    detections = slicer(dataset)
+
+print(len(detections))

+
+GeoTIFF inputs must use a projected coordinate reference system. Reproject geographic rasters before passing them to `InferenceSlicer`.

+description: Frequently asked questions about installing Supervision, supported computer vision models, datasets, tracking, metrics, and licensing.
+---
+
+# Frequently Asked Questions
+
+## What is Supervision?
+
+Supervision is an open-source Python library by Roboflow for computer vision workflows. It provides a unified `Detections` class with converters for supported object detection, segmentation, and VLM outputs.
+
+## How do I install Supervision?
+
+Install the base package with:
+
+```bash
+pip install supervision
+```
+
+Use the `metrics` extra when you need optional metric dependencies:
+
+```bash
+pip install "supervision[metrics]"
+```
+
+Sample asset utilities are part of the base package under `supervision.assets`.
+
+Supervision does not install OpenCV. Its image, drawing, and file-video APIs use the included fallback when `cv2` is unavailable, and automatically use a compatible `cv2` already present in your environment. See the [OpenCV migration guide](how_to/opencv_migration.md) when upgrading an existing environment or choosing an OpenCV wheel yourself.
+
+## Which object detection models work with Supervision?
+
+Supervision is model agnostic. `sv.Detections` includes converters for Ultralytics YOLO, Roboflow Inference, Hugging Face Transformers outputs, SAM, Detectron2, MMDetection, YOLO-NAS, PaddleDet, NCNN, Azure AI Vision, and VLM parsers including Florence-2, PaliGemma, Qwen VL, Gemini, DeepSeek VL 2, and Moondream. Keypoint outputs have separate `sv.KeyPoints` converters, including MediaPipe.
+
+## What can I do with Supervision?
+
+You can annotate images and video, filter detections, track objects, count objects in zones or across lines, load and convert datasets, evaluate models with detection metrics, and export predictions for downstream analysis.
+
+## How do I track objects across video frames?
+
+Assign persistent tracker IDs before visualization. The built-in `sv.ByteTrack` wrapper accepts `Detections` through `update_with_detections()`, but it is deprecated in favor of `ByteTrackTracker` from the external `trackers` package. After tracking, combine the output with annotators such as `sv.TraceAnnotator`, `sv.BoxAnnotator`, and `sv.LabelAnnotator`.
+
+## What dataset formats does Supervision support?
+
+For detection datasets, Supervision supports YOLO, COCO JSON, Pascal VOC, CreateML, and LabelMe. Use `DetectionDataset.from_yolo()`, `DetectionDataset.from_coco()`, `DetectionDataset.from_pascal_voc()`, `DetectionDataset.from_createml()`, or `DetectionDataset.from_labelme()` to load datasets, and the matching `as_*` methods to export them.
+
+## How do I count objects in a zone?
+
+Use `sv.PolygonZone` for arbitrary polygon regions and `sv.LineZone` for line-crossing counts. Line crossing requires `detections.tracker_id`, so run a tracker before calling the line zone trigger.
+
+## How do I benchmark a model?
+
+Install `supervision[metrics]`, then use `supervision.metrics.mean_average_precision.MeanAveragePrecision` for mAP and `sv.ConfusionMatrix` for confusion matrices. Accumulate predictions and ground-truth `Detections`, then call `compute()` to calculate metrics.
+
+## Is Supervision free to use?
+
+Yes. Supervision is free and open source under the MIT license.
+
+## How do I process frames from a webcam with supervision?
+
+Supervision does not support live camera capture. Manage the capture device yourself with `cv2.VideoCapture`, which works regardless of which OpenCV wheel (`opencv-python` or `opencv-python-headless`) is installed, and pass individual frames to supervision annotators:
+
+```python
+import cv2  # requires: pip install opencv-python (or opencv-python-headless)
+import supervision as sv
+
+cap = cv2.VideoCapture(0)
+annotator = sv.BoxAnnotator()
+
+while True:
+    ret, frame = cap.read()
+    if not ret:
+        break
+    # run your detector, then annotate:
+    # annotated = annotator.annotate(frame, detections)
+
+cap.release()
+```
+
+## Where is the source code?
+
+The source code is available at [github.com/roboflow/supervision](https://github.com/roboflow/supervision).

+
+## Frequently Asked Questions
+
+### How do I benchmark a model with supervision?
+
+Use `supervision.metrics.mean_average_precision.MeanAveragePrecision` — accumulate prediction and ground-truth `Detections` with `update(...)` and then call `compute()`. For confusion matrices, use `sv.ConfusionMatrix.from_detections(predictions=predictions, targets=targets, classes=classes)`.
+
+### What IoU thresholds does MeanAveragePrecision use?
+
+It computes mAP over IoU thresholds from 0.50 to 0.95 in steps of 0.05 (mAP@50:95), plus mAP@50 and mAP@75 individually.
+
+### Can I benchmark segmentation models?
+
+Yes, if you want to evaluate their bounding boxes. Convert model outputs to `Detections` and pass them to `MeanAveragePrecision.update(...)`; the current mAP path prepares COCO-style bounding boxes from `detections.xyxy`.
+
+### What is a ConfusionMatrix and how do I use it?
+
+`sv.ConfusionMatrix` visualizes true positives, false positives, and false negatives per class. Create one with `sv.ConfusionMatrix.from_detections(predictions=predictions, targets=targets, classes=classes, conf_threshold=0.5, iou_threshold=0.5)`, then call `confusion_matrix.plot()` to render a heatmap. If you want per-image validation visualizations saved to disk, pass `save_directory_path="./results"` to `sv.ConfusionMatrix.benchmark(...)`; it will write 2x2 result grids directly into that directory using the original image filenames, with `Ground Truth`, `True Positives`, `False Positives`, and `False Negatives` panels.

+
+With supervision, you can count the number of objects in a zone in an image or video. In this guide, we will show how to count the number of cars in a traffic video.
+
+[View the notebook that accompanies this tutorial](https://github.com/roboflow/notebooks/blob/main/notebooks/how-to-use-polygonzone-annotate-and-supervision.ipynb).
+
+To make it easier for you to follow our tutorial download the video we will use as an example. You can do this using the `supervision.assets` module:
+
+```python
+from supervision.assets import download_assets, VideoAssets
+
+download_assets(VideoAssets.VEHICLES_2)
+```
+
+## Initialize a Model and Load Video
+
+First, we need to initialize a model. Let's use a YOLOv8 model with the default COCO checkpoint. We also need to load a video on which to run inference.
+
+Create a YOLO model instance and download the source video. The model will process each frame during inference. A shared color palette ensures consistent zone coloring throughout the output video.
+
+```python
+import numpy as np
+import supervision as sv
+import cv2
+
+from ultralytics import YOLO
+from supervision.assets import VideoAssets, download_assets
+
+model = YOLO("yolov8s.pt")
+
+VIDEO = download_assets(VideoAssets.VEHICLES_2)
+
+colors = sv.ColorPalette.DEFAULT
+```
+
+## Calculate Coordinates
+
+To count objects in a zone, you need to know the coordinates where you want to draw the zone.
+
+You can calculate coordinates using the [PolygonZone web utility](https://roboflow.github.io/polygonzone/).
+
+To use the PolygonZone website, you will need to upload an image or frame from a video. You can retrieve a frame using this code:
+
+```python
+generator = sv.get_video_frames_generator(VIDEO)
+iterator = iter(generator)
+
+frame = next(iterator)
+
+cv2.imwrite("first_frame.png", frame)
+```
+
+PolygonZone will give you NumPy arrays that you can use with supervision to count objects in zones.
+
+<video width="100%" loop muted autoplay>
+  <source src="https://media.roboflow.com/polygonzone.mp4" type="video/mp4">
+</video>
+
+Save the coordinates in an array:
+
+```python
+polygons = [
+    np.array([[718, 595], [927, 592], [851, 1062], [42, 1059]]),
+    np.array([[987, 595], [1199, 595], [1893, 1056], [1015, 1062]]),
+]
+```
+
+## Define Zones
+
+With the coordinates of the zones to draw ready, we can set up our zones:
+
+Instantiate a `PolygonZone` for each polygon array, pairing it with a `PolygonZoneAnnotator` for visual overlay and a `BoxAnnotator` for drawing detection boxes. Each zone will later trigger on incoming detections to determine which objects fall inside its boundaries, enabling per-zone counting in the inference callback.
+
+```python
+zones = [sv.PolygonZone(polygon=polygon) for polygon in polygons]
+zone_annotators = [
+    sv.PolygonZoneAnnotator(
+        zone=zone,
+        color=colors.by_idx(index),
+        thickness=4,
+        text_thickness=8,
+        text_scale=4,
+    )
+    for index, zone in enumerate(zones)
+]
+box_annotators = [
+    sv.BoxAnnotator(
+        color=colors.by_idx(index),
+        thickness=4,
+    )
+    for index in range(len(polygons))
+]
+```
+
+## Run Inference
+
+We can run inference on a video using the [sv.process_video](https://supervision.roboflow.com/utils/video/#process_video) function. This function accepts a callback that runs inference on each frame and compiles the results into a video.
+
+Below, we can call our YOLOv8 model, annotate predictions and zones, then save the results to a file called `result.mp4`.
+
+```python
+def process_frame(frame: np.ndarray, i) -> np.ndarray:
+    results = model(frame, imgsz=1280, verbose=False)[0]
+    detections = sv.Detections.from_ultralytics(results)
+
+    for zone, zone_annotator, box_annotator in zip(
+        zones, zone_annotators, box_annotators
+    ):
+        mask = zone.trigger(detections=detections)
+        detections_filtered = detections[mask]
+        frame = box_annotator.annotate(scene=frame, detections=detections_filtered)
+        frame = zone_annotator.annotate(scene=frame)
+
+    return frame
+
+
+sv.process_video(source_path=VIDEO, target_path="result.mp4", callback=process_frame)

+## Frequently Asked Questions
+
+### How do I count objects in a zone with supervision?
+
+Create `sv.PolygonZone` with a polygon defining your region. Call `zone.trigger(detections)` on each frame — it returns a mask of detections inside the zone.
+
+### Can I count objects crossing a line instead of entering a zone?
+
+Yes. Use `sv.LineZone` — define a start and end point. `zone.trigger(detections)` returns a tuple of two boolean arrays, `(crossed_in, crossed_out)`, indicating which detections crossed the line in each direction. `LineZone` requires `detections.tracker_id`; run a tracker first so the same object can be matched across frames.
+
+### Can I combine zone counting with tracking?
+
+Yes. You can pass tracker IDs from `sv.ByteTrack` alongside your detections, but `sv.PolygonZone` still evaluates the zone on each frame and reports which objects are currently inside it. If you want to count each object only once when it first enters the zone, maintain a set of seen `tracker_id` values after filtering detections with `zone.trigger(detections)`, or use a dedicated entry/crossing counting tool such as `sv.LineZone` when it better matches your use case.

 # Detect and Annotate
 
-Supervision provides a seamless process for annotating predictions generated by various
-object detection and segmentation models. This guide shows how to perform inference
-with the [Inference](https://github.com/roboflow/inference),
-[Ultralytics](https://github.com/ultralytics/ultralytics) or
-[Transformers](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers) packages. Following this,
-you'll learn how to import these predictions into Supervision and use them to annotate
-source image.

+First, you'll need to obtain predictions from your object detection or segmentation model.
+
+To run inference, initialize your chosen model and pass the source image to its predict or infer method. Supervision supports Roboflow Inference, Ultralytics YOLO, and Hugging Face Transformers -- select the tab matching your framework. The result is a framework-specific object you will convert to a `Detections` instance in the next step.

 ## Load Predictions into Supervision
 
 Now that we have predictions from a model, we can load them into Supervision.
 
+Each supported framework has a dedicated class method on `sv.Detections` that converts raw model output into a unified Supervision object. Call `from_inference`, `from_ultralytics`, or `from_transformers` depending on the package you used for inference. This normalization step ensures all downstream annotators and filters work identically regardless of the source model.

+## Frequently Asked Questions
+
+### How do I detect and annotate objects with supervision?
+
+Pass any model's output to `sv.Detections.from_<model>()` to create a unified `Detections` object. Then pass it to `sv.BoxAnnotator` or `sv.MaskAnnotator` to draw predictions on an image.
+
+### Can I annotate both bounding boxes and masks at the same time?
+
+Yes. Chain annotators: first draw boxes with `BoxAnnotator`, then overlay masks with `MaskAnnotator` on the same scene.
+
+### How do I label detections with class names?
+
+Use `sv.LabelAnnotator` and pass custom text with the `labels` parameter. If a connector provides class names, they are stored in `detections["class_name"]` / `detections.data["class_name"]`; when `labels` is omitted, `LabelAnnotator` uses class names first, then class IDs, then detection indices.
+
+### Can I use supervision with Hugging Face models?
+
+Yes. `sv.Detections.from_transformers()` accepts supported Hugging Face object detection and segmentation outputs. Vision-language model outputs are handled through `sv.Detections.from_vlm(...)`, for example with `sv.VLM.FLORENCE_2` or `sv.VLM.PALIGEMMA`.

+Small object detection in high-resolution images presents challenges due to the objects' size relative to the image resolution.
+
+Running a standard detection model on the full image establishes a baseline for comparison. Load your chosen model, pass the image through it, and convert the results into a `Detections` object. This baseline reveals how many small objects the model misses at native resolution, motivating the sliced inference approach shown later.

+## Frequently Asked Questions
+
+### How do I detect small objects with supervision?
+
+Use `sv.InferenceSlicer` to split a high-resolution image into overlapping tiles, run detection on each tile, and merge results with non-maximum suppression. This dramatically improves recall for tiny targets.
+
+### What overlap should I use between tiles?
+
+`InferenceSlicer` takes overlap in pixels via `overlap_wh`, not as a percentage. The default is `100` pixels in both directions. Increase `overlap_wh` when objects are close to the tile size or often appear on tile boundaries, and decrease it when speed is more important.
+
+### Can I use InferenceSlicer with any detection model?
+
+Yes. Wrap any model or converter path that can produce `sv.Detections` in a callback, pass that callback to `sv.InferenceSlicer(callback=...)`, and then call the slicer with your image.

+## Frequently Asked Questions
+
+### How do I filter detections by class in supervision?
+
+Use NumPy-style boolean indexing: `detections[detections.class_id == 0]` for class 0. Combine with `&` or `|` for multiple conditions.
+
+### How do I filter by confidence threshold?
+
+`detections[detections.confidence > 0.5]` returns only detections above the threshold. Chain with class filters for precise results.
+
+### How do I filter by bounding box area?
+
+`detections[detections.area > 1000]` filters by pixel area. If masks are present, `detections.area` uses mask area; otherwise, if oriented-box coordinates are present, it uses oriented polygon area; all remaining detections use bounding box area from `xyxy`. Use `detections.box_area` when you specifically need axis-aligned bounding box area.
+
+### Can I filter by box aspect ratio or dimensions?
+
+Yes. Use `detections.box_aspect_ratio` for aspect ratio filtering. If you need explicit box dimensions, compute them from `detections.xyxy` as `width = detections.xyxy[:, 2] - detections.xyxy[:, 0]` and `height = detections.xyxy[:, 3] - detections.xyxy[:, 1]`.
+
+### How do I remove duplicate detections (NMS) from my results?
+
+Use `detections.with_nms(threshold=0.5)` — it applies non-maximum suppression on the `xyxy` boxes.

+description: Migrate Supervision installations after OpenCV becomes an ambient optional backend: use the included fallback by default or select one compatible OpenCV wheel for your application.
+date_modified: 2026-07-17
+---
+
+# Migrate to Supervision Without an OpenCV Dependency
+
+Supervision no longer installs OpenCV or offers an OpenCV extra. A standard installation includes the NumPy, Pillow, SciPy, and PyAV fallback needed by Supervision's image, drawing, and file-video APIs. When a compatible `cv2` is already installed, Supervision selects it once when the process imports the package.
+
+## Keep the default fallback
+
+Install Supervision normally when your application does not otherwise require OpenCV:
+
+```bash
+pip install supervision
+```
+
+The fallback keeps Supervision's documented APIs operational. Some text and anti-aliased drawing pixels can differ from OpenCV, so use the same backend while validating image-level baselines.
+
+## Prefer OpenCV behavior
+
+Install exactly one OpenCV wheel family when your application relies on OpenCV outside Supervision or needs its native behavior:
+
+```bash
+# Servers and containers without OpenCV GUI modules
+pip install opencv-python-headless supervision
+
+# Desktop applications that need OpenCV GUI modules
+pip install opencv-python supervision
+```
+
+Do not install both `opencv-python` and `opencv-python-headless`. If another dependency, such as a model runtime, already provides a compatible `cv2`, keep that installation instead of adding a second wheel family.
+
+## Verify the selected backend
+
+Backend selection happens at import time and lasts for the process lifetime. Run this command in a fresh Python process after changing dependencies:
+
+```bash
+python -c "from supervision import _cv2; print(_cv2.BACKEND_NAME)"
+```
+
+It prints `fallback` without OpenCV and the OpenCV backend name when `cv2` is available. `_cv2` is private; use this command only as an installation diagnostic, not as application API.
+
+## Capture webcams yourself
+
+Supervision's video helpers support file paths through either backend. Live camera capture remains application-owned, so install your chosen OpenCV wheel if you use `cv2.VideoCapture(0)`:
+
+```python
+import cv2
+import supervision as sv
+
+capture = cv2.VideoCapture(0)
+annotator = sv.BoxAnnotator()
+```
+
+## Roll back an upgrade
+
+If a downstream image baseline requires the pre-migration package behavior, pin Supervision below the first release that removes the OpenCV dependency, then plan a backend-specific migration separately:
+
+```bash
+pip install "supervision<0.30.0"
+```

+## Frequently Asked Questions
+
+### What dataset formats does supervision support?
+
+For detection datasets, supervision supports YOLO, COCO JSON, Pascal VOC, CreateML, and LabelMe. Use `DetectionDataset.from_yolo()`, `from_coco()`, `from_pascal_voc()`, `from_createml()`, or `from_labelme()` to load, and `as_yolo()`, `as_coco()`, `as_pascal_voc()`, `as_createml()`, or `as_labelme()` to save. Classification datasets use `ClassificationDataset.from_folder_structure()` and `as_folder_structure()`.
+
+### Can I split a dataset into train/val/test sets?
+
+`DetectionDataset.split(split_ratio=0.8)` returns exactly two datasets: train (80%) and test (20%). If you need a validation set, split one of those subsets in a separate step.
+
+### Can I merge two datasets together?
+
+Yes. `DetectionDataset.merge([dataset_a, dataset_b])` combines multiple datasets into one. Useful for combining datasets from different sources.
+
+### What augmentations are available?
+
+Common augmentations such as flip, rotate, translate, scale, crop, color jitter, and Gaussian blur can be applied using an external library like Albumentations, as shown in the augmentation example above. Supervision does not provide an `sv.Augmenter` pipeline.

 # Save Detections
 
-Supervision enables an easy way to save detections in .CSV and .JSON files for offline
-processing. This guide demonstrates how to perform video inference using the
-[Inference](https://github.com/roboflow/inference),
-[Ultralytics](https://github.com/ultralytics/ultralytics) or
-[Transformers](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers) packages and save their results with
-[`sv.CSVSink`](/latest/detection/tools/save_detections/#supervision.detection.tools.csv_sink.CSVSink) and
-[`sv.JSONSink`](/latest/detection/tools/save_detections/#supervision.detection.tools.csv_sink.JSONSink).

 ## Run Detection

-model. You can learn more on this topic in our
-[How to Detect and Annotate](/latest/how_to/detect_and_annotate.md) guide.
+First, you'll need to obtain predictions from your object detection or segmentation model. You can learn more on this topic in our [How to Detect and Annotate](https://supervision.roboflow.com/latest/how_to/detect_and_annotate/) guide.
+
+To generate predictions for saving, initialize your model and iterate over video frames using `sv.get_video_frames_generator`. Each frame is passed to the model, and the raw output is converted into a `sv.Detections` object. This detection loop forms the foundation for both CSV and JSON export workflows shown below.

+## Frequently Asked Questions
+
+### How do I save detections to CSV with supervision?
+
+Open `sv.CSVSink("output.csv")` as a context manager and call `sink.append(detections)` for each frame. The CSV includes box coordinates, confidence, class ID, tracker ID, and any fields stored in `detections.data`.
+
+### Can I save detections to JSON instead?
+
+Yes. Open `sv.JSONSink("output.json")` as a context manager and call `sink.append(detections)` for each frame. The file is written as a JSON array when the context exits.
+
+### Can I add custom fields to the saved output?
+
+Yes. Pass a dict as the second argument: `sink.append(detections, {"frame_index": 5})` — the keys become extra columns in the CSV or extra fields in the JSON.
+
+### Can I save only specific classes or confidence levels?
+
+Filter the `Detections` object before saving: `sink.append(detections[detections.confidence > 0.7])`.

 We will define a `callback` function, which will process each frame of the video by obtaining model predictions and then annotating the frame based on these predictions.

 This structured walkthrough should give a detailed pathway to annotate videos effectively using Supervision’s various functionalities, including object tracking and trace annotations.
+
+## Frequently Asked Questions
+
+### How do I track objects across video frames with supervision?
+
+Pass `Detections` to `sv.ByteTrack.update_with_detections()` on each frame. The tracker assigns persistent IDs. Combine with `sv.TraceAnnotator` to visualize trajectories. `sv.ByteTrack` is deprecated in favor of `ByteTrackTracker` from the `trackers` package, where the update method is named `update()`.
+
+### What should I know about ByteTrack?
+
+ByteTrack uses low-confidence detections during association, which can improve continuity during missed or weak detections. Supervision's built-in `ByteTrack` wrapper is deprecated in favor of the external `trackers` package.
+
+### Can I track instances instead of bounding boxes?
+
+Yes. ByteTrack tracks bounding boxes. For instance masks, use `sv.MaskAnnotator` with the tracker IDs to color-code each tracked object consistently.
+
+### Does ByteTrack work with any detection model?
+
+Yes. ByteTrack is model-agnostic - it accepts any `Detections` object with bounding boxes, regardless of the supported converter or model output that produced it.

+# Use Compact Masks for Memory-Efficient Segmentation
+
+[CompactMask][supervision.detection.compact_mask.CompactMask] stores each instance mask as a run-length encoding of its bounding-box **crop** rather than a full `(H, W)` boolean frame. For high-resolution images with many sparse masks this can reduce memory from tens of gigabytes to tens of megabytes, and eliminates full-frame decode work in annotators that only need the cropped region.
+
+!!! Note
+
+    `sv.mask_to_xyxy` keeps supervision's inclusive max-coordinate convention for compatibility with `CompactMask` and current box-based adapters. Use `sv.mask_to_roi` when you need exclusive slice bounds for NumPy indexing or crop extraction.
+
+This guide covers the four main integration points:
+
+1. [Ingesting COCO RLE payloads directly as CompactMask](#ingest-coco-rle-payloads)
+2. [Parsing Roboflow Inference results without a dense stack](#parse-inference-results)
+3. [Skipping mask materialisation for box/label annotators](#skip-unnecessary-materialisation)
+4. [Merging mixed dense and compact detections](#merge-mixed-detections)
+
+---
+
+## Ingest COCO RLE Payloads
+
+If your model or API returns masks in the COCO RLE format (`{"size": [H, W], "counts": "..."}`) you can convert them directly to `CompactMask` without allocating an `(N, H, W)` boolean array:
+
+```python
+import numpy as np
+import supervision as sv
+from supervision.detection.compact_mask import CompactMask
+
+# Example: two COCO RLE masks for a 720×1280 frame.
+# Replace the counts strings with actual compressed RLE payloads from your
+# model or API — e.g., from pycocotools mask.encode() or an Inference response.
+rles = [
+    {"size": [720, 1280], "counts": "YOUR_RLE_COUNTS_STRING_HERE"},
+    {"size": [720, 1280], "counts": "YOUR_RLE_COUNTS_STRING_HERE"},
+]
+xyxy = np.array(
+    [
+        [100.0, 50.0, 400.0, 300.0],
+        [500.0, 200.0, 900.0, 600.0],
+    ]
+)
+
+compact = CompactMask.from_coco_rle(rles, xyxy, image_shape=(720, 1280))
+
+detections = sv.Detections(
+    xyxy=xyxy,
+    mask=compact,
+    class_id=np.array([0, 1]),
+)
+```
+
+`from_coco_rle` uses run-length arithmetic scoped to each bounding box so no dense pixel array is ever created. Uncompressed integer count lists are also accepted in place of compressed strings.
+
+---
+
+## Parse Inference Results
+
+`Detections.from_inference` accepts a `compact_masks=True` flag that routes the Roboflow RLE payload through `CompactMask.from_coco_rle` instead of decoding to a dense stack:
+
+```python
+import supervision as sv
+
+# result: a Roboflow Inference v2 response dict with instance masks.
+detections = sv.Detections.from_inference(result, compact_masks=True)
+
+from supervision.detection.compact_mask import CompactMask
+
+assert isinstance(detections.mask, CompactMask)
+```
+
+!!! Warning
+
+    `compact_masks=True` crops each mask to its detector bounding box. Pixels outside the box are silently dropped. For masks that extend meaningfully beyond the reported bounding box, use the default `compact_masks=False` (dense decode) to preserve all pixels.
+
+To convert an existing dense-mask `Detections` to compact at any point:
+
+```python
+detections_compact = detections.to_compact_masks()
+```
+
+---
+
+## Skip Unnecessary Materialisation
+
+Annotators that do not draw masks (box, label, circle, ellipse, trace, keypoint) expose `requires_mask = False`. Integrations can branch on this flag to avoid decoding compact or RLE masks before annotation:
+
+```python
+import supervision as sv
+
+annotators = [
+    sv.BoxAnnotator(),
+    sv.LabelAnnotator(),
+    sv.MaskAnnotator(),  # requires_mask = True
+]
+
+for ann in annotators:
+    if ann.requires_mask:
+        # Annotator reads mask pixels — CompactMask decodes lazily per crop.
+        scene = ann.annotate(scene, detections)
+    else:
+        # Annotator ignores masks — strip mask field to eliminate any decode cost.
+        det_no_mask = sv.Detections(
+            xyxy=detections.xyxy,
+            confidence=detections.confidence,
+            class_id=detections.class_id,
+        )
+        scene = ann.annotate(scene, det_no_mask)
+```
+
+Annotators that set `requires_mask = True`: [MaskAnnotator][supervision.annotators.core.MaskAnnotator], [PolygonAnnotator][supervision.annotators.core.PolygonAnnotator], [HaloAnnotator][supervision.annotators.core.HaloAnnotator].
+
+All others default to `requires_mask = False`.
+
+!!! Note
+
+    `PolygonAnnotator` and `MaskAnnotator` both operate directly on `CompactMask` without materialising the full `(N, H, W)` frame — passing compact detections to them is already efficient.
+
+---
+
+## Merge Mixed Detections
+
+When merging `Detections` objects that mix dense `ndarray` masks and `CompactMask` instances, `Detections.merge` converts dense inputs to `CompactMask` automatically. No full `(N, H, W)` stack is allocated:
+
+```python
+import numpy as np
+import supervision as sv
+from supervision.detection.compact_mask import CompactMask
+
+H, W = 720, 1280
+
+# Compact detections from an RLE-based source.
+# Replace the counts string with a real compressed RLE payload from your model or API.
+rles = [{"size": [H, W], "counts": "YOUR_RLE_COUNTS_STRING_HERE"}]
+xyxy_a = np.array([[100.0, 50.0, 400.0, 300.0]])
+cm = CompactMask.from_coco_rle(rles, xyxy_a, image_shape=(H, W))
+det_a = sv.Detections(xyxy=xyxy_a, mask=cm, class_id=np.array([0]))
+
+# Dense detections from a different source.
+masks_b = np.zeros((1, H, W), dtype=bool)
+masks_b[0, 200:400, 500:800] = True
+xyxy_b = np.array([[500.0, 200.0, 799.0, 399.0]])
+det_b = sv.Detections(xyxy=xyxy_b, mask=masks_b, class_id=np.array([1]))
+
+# Output is CompactMask regardless of input order.
+merged = sv.Detections.merge([det_a, det_b])
+assert isinstance(merged.mask, CompactMask)
+assert len(merged) == 2
+```
+
+Merge rules:
+
+| Inputs                                | Output mask type                |
+| ------------------------------------- | ------------------------------- |
+| All `CompactMask`                     | `CompactMask`                   |
+| Mixed `CompactMask` + dense `ndarray` | `CompactMask`                   |
+| All dense `ndarray`                   | `ndarray` (backward compatible) |
+
+All `CompactMask` inputs must share the same `image_shape`; mismatches raise `ValueError`.
+
+---
+
+## Performance Notes
+
+These estimates apply to the **parsing and annotation stage**, not end-to-end pipeline FPS. Model inference typically dominates total runtime.
+
+| Optimisation                 | Realistic gain             | Applies when                                                  |
+| ---------------------------- | -------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `from_coco_rle` ingestion    | 25–60% faster parse        | Full-frame COCO RLE payload; current dense decode path        |
+| `MaskAnnotator` ROI blending | 10–35% faster annotation   | Many small, sparse masks on high-res frames                   |
+| `PolygonAnnotator` crop path | 15–45% faster polygon draw | Many compact masks; full-frame materialise was the bottleneck |
+| Mixed-mask merge             | 5–20% faster merge         | Mix of compact and dense sources (e.g. multi-camera stitch)   |
+
+Upper-end gains assume: ≥1080p frames, tens to hundreds of instances, masks covering less than ~20% of total pixels.

+
+> Large-context AI crawler summary for Supervision documentation.
+
+Supervision is an open-source Python library by Roboflow for computer vision workflows. It provides a model-agnostic `Detections` class and composable tools for object detection, instance segmentation, keypoint detection, annotation, tracking, zone counting, dataset conversion, and model evaluation.
+
+Supervision is MIT licensed, published on PyPI, developed on GitHub, and used by researchers and practitioners in production computer vision systems. The library includes converters for supported outputs from Ultralytics, Roboflow Inference, Hugging Face Transformers, SAM, Detectron2, MMDetection, YOLO-NAS, PaddleDet, NCNN, Azure AI Vision, and VLM parsers.

+
+## AI Access
+
+The documentation is static HTML and is open for AI crawler consumption. `robots.txt` explicitly allows general crawlers plus GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Bytespider, CCBot, GoogleOther, and Applebot.
+
+## Install
+
+```bash
+pip install supervision
+```
+
+Optional extras:
+
+```bash
+pip install "supervision[metrics]"
+```
+
+Sample asset utilities are included in the base package under `supervision.assets`.
+
+## Core Concepts
+
+### `sv.Detections`
+
+`sv.Detections` is the central data structure in Supervision. It stores bounding boxes, segmentation masks, confidence scores, class IDs, tracker IDs, and arbitrary per-detection metadata in a `data` dictionary. It supports NumPy-style indexing for filtering by confidence, class, area, and spatial constraints.
+
+Most connectors, annotators, trackers, dataset tools, and metrics either accept or return `Detections`, which makes it possible to change the upstream model while keeping downstream processing code stable.
+
+### Model Connectors
+
+Supervision normalizes outputs from multiple computer vision frameworks into the same `Detections` API. Common constructors include:
+
+- `sv.Detections.from_ultralytics(...)`
+- `sv.Detections.from_inference(...)`
+- `sv.Detections.from_transformers(...)`
+- `sv.Detections.from_vlm(...)`
+- `sv.Detections.from_sam(...)`
+- `sv.Detections.from_detectron2(...)`
+- `sv.Detections.from_mmdetection(...)`
+
+### Annotation
+
+Supervision includes annotators for drawing boxes, masks, labels, traces, zones, vertices, edges, and other overlays on images and video frames. Common annotators include:
+
+- `sv.BoxAnnotator`
+- `sv.MaskAnnotator`
+- `sv.LabelAnnotator`
+- `sv.TraceAnnotator`
+- `sv.PolygonZoneAnnotator`
+- `sv.LineZoneAnnotator`
+
+### Tracking
+
+The built-in `sv.ByteTrack` wrapper assigns persistent IDs across video frames through `update_with_detections()`. The docs also note the migration path toward `ByteTrackTracker` from the external `trackers` package. Tracked detections can be passed to label, trace, zone, and line-counting annotators.
+
+### Zones and Counting
+
+`sv.PolygonZone` checks whether detections are inside an arbitrary polygon. `sv.LineZone` counts line crossings and requires `detections.tracker_id` so objects can be matched across frames. These tools are typically used with video callbacks and annotators to build traffic, occupancy, queue, and throughput analytics.
+
+### Datasets
+
+`sv.DetectionDataset` loads, merges, splits, and converts object detection datasets. Supported formats include YOLO, COCO JSON, Pascal VOC, and LabelMe. `sv.ClassificationDataset` supports folder-structured classification datasets.
+
+### Metrics
+
+Supervision includes detection metrics including mean average precision, mean average recall, precision, recall, F1 score, and confusion matrices. The current mAP workflow uses `supervision.metrics.mean_average_precision.MeanAveragePrecision` with `update(...)` and `compute()`.

+## Frequently Asked Questions
+
+### What is Supervision?
+
+Supervision is an open-source Python library by Roboflow for computer vision workflows. It provides a unified `Detections` class with converters for supported detection, segmentation, and VLM outputs.
+
+### Is Supervision tied to one model provider?
+
+No. Supervision is model agnostic. It is designed to normalize model outputs into a common API so downstream annotation, filtering, tracking, metrics, and dataset code can be reused.
+
+### What dataset formats are supported?
+
+For object detection datasets, Supervision supports YOLO, COCO JSON, Pascal VOC, and LabelMe import and export. For classification datasets, it supports folder-structure import and export.
+
+### How do I detect small objects?
+
+Use `sv.InferenceSlicer` to split large images into overlapping tiles, run inference on each tile, and merge the resulting detections with non-maximum suppression or non-maximum merge.
+
+### How do I count objects crossing a line?
+
+Run a tracker first to assign `detections.tracker_id`, then use `sv.LineZone.trigger(detections)` to calculate crossing events. Use `sv.LineZoneAnnotator` for visualization.
+
+### How do I benchmark a model?
+
+Load predictions and ground truth as `Detections`, update a `MeanAveragePrecision` metric object, and call `compute()`. Use `sv.ConfusionMatrix` when class-level confusion analysis is needed.

+
+## Key APIs
+
+### sv.Detections
+
+Core data structure for bounding boxes, masks, confidence scores, class IDs, tracker IDs, and arbitrary per-detection metadata stored in a `data` dict. The lingua franca of the entire library — every connector, annotator, and tracker accepts or returns `Detections`. Supports NumPy-style boolean indexing for filtering by class, confidence, area, and spatial regions.
+
+### sv.BoxAnnotator, sv.MaskAnnotator, sv.LabelAnnotator
+
+Draw bounding boxes, segmentation masks, and text labels on images. Annotators expose `annotate(scene=..., detections=...)`; pass an input image and a `Detections` object to get the annotated output. `LabelAnnotator` can use explicit `labels` or fall back to `detections["class_name"]`, class IDs, then detection indices. Colors can be assigned by class or manually specified.
+
+### sv.ByteTrack
+
+Object tracker wrapper that assigns persistent IDs across video frames. The built-in `sv.ByteTrack` accepts `Detections` via `update_with_detections()`, but it is deprecated in favor of `ByteTrackTracker` from the external `trackers` package, where the method is named `update()`. Use tracked `Detections` with `sv.TraceAnnotator` to visualize trajectories.
+
+### sv.PolygonZone and sv.LineZone
+
+Zone-based counting. `PolygonZone.trigger(detections)` returns a boolean mask for detections currently inside an arbitrary polygon. `LineZone.trigger(detections)` returns `(crossed_in, crossed_out)` arrays for line crossings and requires `detections.tracker_id` so objects can be matched across frames. Both are commonly paired with zone annotators for visualization.
+
+### sv.DetectionDataset and sv.ClassificationDataset
+
+For detection datasets, load, merge, split, and convert between YOLO, COCO JSON, Pascal VOC, and LabelMe formats. Classification datasets use folder-structure import and export via `ClassificationDataset.from_folder_structure()` and `as_folder_structure()`.
+
+### sv.InferenceSlicer
+
+SAHI-style inference slicing: split high-resolution images into overlapping tiles, run detection on each tile, merge results with non-maximum suppression or non-maximum merge. Configure tile overlap in pixels with `overlap_wh`.
+
+### supervision.metrics.MeanAveragePrecision and sv.ConfusionMatrix
+
+Benchmarking tools. For mAP@0.5:0.95, use `supervision.metrics.MeanAveragePrecision` with `update()` and `compute()` rather than the deprecated top-level `sv.MeanAveragePrecision.from_detections()`. `ConfusionMatrix.from_detections(predictions=predictions, targets=targets, classes=classes)` generates a confusion matrix for detection results.
+
+### sv.CSVSink and sv.JSONSink
+
+Export detection results to structured files. Use `CSVSink` and `JSONSink` as context managers, call `sink.append(detections, custom_data=...)`, and they write one row/object per detection with box coordinates, confidence, class ID, tracker ID, and data fields.

+## FAQ
+
+### What is supervision?
+
+Supervision is an open-source Python library by Roboflow for computer vision workflows. It provides a unified `Detections` class with converters for supported detection, segmentation, and VLM outputs, plus tools for annotation, tracking, zone counting, dataset management, and model benchmarking.
+
+### How do I install supervision?
+
+Install with `pip install supervision`. For optional metric dependencies use `pip install supervision[metrics]`. Sample asset utilities are included in the base package under `supervision.assets`. The current package metadata requires Python 3.10+.
+
+### What can I do with supervision?
+
+Annotate images and video with bounding boxes, masks, and labels; track objects across frames with persistent IDs; count detections inside polygon zones or line crossings; filter and query detection results; load, split, and convert detection datasets between YOLO, COCO, Pascal VOC, and LabelMe formats; manage classification datasets with folder structures; and benchmark model performance with mAP and confusion matrices.
+
+### Is supervision free to use?
+
+Yes. Supervision is free and open-source under the MIT license. Source code is at https://github.com/roboflow/supervision.
+
+### Which object detection models work with supervision?
+
+Supervision is model-agnostic and works with supported outputs from Ultralytics YOLO, Roboflow Inference, Hugging Face Transformers, SAM, Detectron2, MMDetection, YOLO-NAS, PaddleDet, NCNN, Azure AI Vision, and VLM parsers such as Florence-2, PaliGemma, Qwen VL, Gemini, DeepSeek VL 2, and Moondream. Keypoint outputs have separate converters, including MediaPipe.
+
+### How do I benchmark a model with supervision?
+
+Use `supervision.metrics.mean_average_precision.MeanAveragePrecision` for mAP — accumulate predictions and ground truth with `update(...)` then call `compute()`. For confusion matrices, use `sv.ConfusionMatrix.from_detections(predictions=predictions, targets=targets, classes=classes)`. See the Benchmark a Model how-to guide for a complete walkthrough.
+
+### How do I track objects across video frames?
+
+Use a tracker to assign persistent IDs. The built-in `sv.ByteTrack` wrapper accepts `Detections` with `update_with_detections()`, but it is deprecated in favor of `ByteTrackTracker` from the external `trackers` package. Combine tracked detections with `sv.TraceAnnotator` to visualize trajectories.
+
+### What dataset formats does supervision support?
+
+For detection datasets, supervision supports YOLO, COCO JSON, Pascal VOC, and LabelMe. Use `DetectionDataset.from_yolo()`, `from_coco()`, `from_pascal_voc()`, or `from_labelme()` to load, and `as_yolo()`, `as_coco()`, `as_pascal_voc()`, or `as_labelme()` to save. For classification datasets, use `ClassificationDataset.from_folder_structure()` and `as_folder_structure()`.
+
+### How do I count objects in a zone?
+
+Use `sv.PolygonZone` for arbitrary polygon zones. Use `sv.LineZone` for line-crossing counts after assigning tracker IDs, because `LineZone` needs `detections.tracker_id` to match objects across frames.
+
+### How do I detect small objects with supervision?
+
+Use `sv.InferenceSlicer` to split high-resolution images into overlapping tiles, run detection on each tile, and merge results with non-maximum suppression. Configure tile overlap in pixels with `overlap_wh`. See the Detect Small Objects how-to guide.
+
+## Benchmarking
+
+Supervision includes `supervision.metrics.MeanAveragePrecision` and `sv.ConfusionMatrix` for benchmarking object detection models. A curated [Model Leaderboard](https://leaderboard.roboflow.com/) compares YOLOv8, YOLOv11, and other models on standard datasets. The leaderboard repository is open source at https://github.com/roboflow/model-leaderboard.

+Use a tracker to assign persistent IDs. The built-in `sv.ByteTrack` wrapper accepts `Detections` with `update_with_detections()`, but it is deprecated in favor of `ByteTrackTracker` from the external `trackers` package. Combine tracked detections with `sv.TraceAnnotator` to visualize trajectories.
+
+### What dataset formats does supervision support?
+
+For detection datasets, supervision supports YOLO, COCO JSON, Pascal VOC, CreateML, and LabelMe. Use `DetectionDataset.from_yolo()`, `from_coco()`, `from_pascal_voc()`, `from_createml()`, or `from_labelme()` to load, and `as_yolo()`, `as_coco()`, `as_pascal_voc()`, `as_createml()`, or `as_labelme()` to save. For classification datasets, use `ClassificationDataset.from_folder_structure()` and `as_folder_structure()`.
+
+### How do I count objects in a zone?
+
+Use `sv.PolygonZone` for arbitrary polygon zones. Use `sv.LineZone` for line-crossing counts after assigning tracker IDs, because `LineZone` needs `detections.tracker_id` to match objects across frames.
+
+### How do I detect small objects with supervision?
+
+Use `sv.InferenceSlicer` to split high-resolution images into overlapping tiles, run detection on each tile, and merge results with non-maximum suppression. Configure tile overlap in pixels with `overlap_wh`. See the Detect Small Objects how-to guide.
+
+## Benchmarking
+
+Supervision includes `supervision.metrics.MeanAveragePrecision` and `sv.ConfusionMatrix` for benchmarking object detection models. A curated [Model Leaderboard](https://leaderboard.roboflow.com/) compares YOLOv8, YOLOv11, and other models on standard datasets. The leaderboard repository is open source at https://github.com/roboflow/model-leaderboard.
