# 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`](https://supervision.roboflow.com/latest/detection/tools/save_detections/#supervision.detection.tools.csv_sink.CSVSink) and
[`sv.JSONSink`](https://supervision.roboflow.com/latest/detection/tools/save_detections/#supervision.detection.tools.csv_sink.JSONSink).
## Run Detection
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.
=== "Inference"
```python
import supervision as sv
from inference import get_model
model = get_model(model_id="yolov8n-640")
frames_generator = sv.get_video_frames_generator("<SOURCE_VIDEO_PATH>")
for frame in frames_generator:
results = model.infer(image)[0]
detections = sv.Detections.from_inference(results)
```
=== "Ultralytics"
```python
import supervision as sv
from ultralytics import YOLO
model = YOLO("yolov8n.pt")
frames_generator = sv.get_video_frames_generator("<SOURCE_VIDEO_PATH>")
for frame in frames_generator:
results = model(frame)[0]
detections = sv.Detections.from_ultralytics(results)
```
=== "Transformers"
```python
import torch
import supervision as sv
from transformers import DetrImageProcessor, DetrForObjectDetection
processor = DetrImageProcessor.from_pretrained("facebook/detr-resnet-50")
model = DetrForObjectDetection.from_pretrained("facebook/detr-resnet-50")
frames_generator = sv.get_video_frames_generator("<SOURCE_VIDEO_PATH>")
for frame in frames_generator:
frame = sv.cv2_to_pillow(frame)
inputs = processor(images=frame, return_tensors="pt")
with torch.no_grad():
outputs = model(**inputs)
width, height = frame.size
target_size = torch.tensor([[height, width]])
results = processor.post_process_object_detection(
outputs=outputs, target_sizes=target_size
)[0]
detections = sv.Detections.from_transformers(results)
```
## Save Detections as CSV
To save detections to a `.CSV` file, open our
[`sv.CSVSink`](https://supervision.roboflow.com/latest/detection/tools/save_detections/#supervision.detection.tools.csv_sink.CSVSink)
and then pass the
[`sv.Detections`](https://supervision.roboflow.com/latest/detection/core/#supervision.detection.core.Detections)
object resulting from the inference to it. Its fields are parsed and saved on disk.
=== "Inference"
```{ .py hl_lines="7 12" }
import supervision as sv
from inference import get_model
model = get_model(model_id="yolov8n-640")
frames_generator = sv.get_video_frames_generator("<SOURCE_VIDEO_PATH>")
with sv.CSVSink("<TARGET_CSV_PATH>") as sink:
for frame in frames_generator:
results = model.infer(image)[0]
detections = sv.Detections.from_inference(results)
sink.append(detections, {})
```
=== "Ultralytics"
```{ .py hl_lines="7 12" }
import supervision as sv
from ultralytics import YOLO
model = YOLO("yolov8n.pt")
frames_generator = sv.get_video_frames_generator("<SOURCE_VIDEO_PATH>")
with sv.CSVSink("<TARGET_CSV_PATH>") as sink:
for frame in frames_generator:
results = model(frame)[0]
detections = sv.Detections.from_ultralytics(results)
sink.append(detections, {})
```
=== "Transformers"
```{ .py hl_lines="9 23" }
import torch
import supervision as sv
from transformers import DetrImageProcessor, DetrForObjectDetection
processor = DetrImageProcessor.from_pretrained("facebook/detr-resnet-50")
model = DetrForObjectDetection.from_pretrained("facebook/detr-resnet-50")
frames_generator = sv.get_video_frames_generator("<SOURCE_VIDEO_PATH>")
with sv.CSVSink("<TARGET_CSV_PATH>") as sink:
for frame in frames_generator:
frame = sv.cv2_to_pillow(frame)
inputs = processor(images=frame, return_tensors="pt")
with torch.no_grad():
outputs = model(**inputs)
width, height = frame.size
target_size = torch.tensor([[height, width]])
results = processor.post_process_object_detection(
outputs=outputs, target_sizes=target_size)[0]
detections = sv.Detections.from_transformers(results)
sink.append(detections, {})

## Custom Fields
Besides regular fields in
[`sv.Detections`](https://supervision.roboflow.com/latest/detection/core/#supervision.detection.core.Detections),
[`sv.CSVSink`](https://supervision.roboflow.com/latest/detection/tools/save_detections/#supervision.detection.tools.csv_sink.CSVSink)
also allows you to add custom information to each row, which can be passed via the
`custom_data` dictionary. Let's utilize this feature to save information about the
frame index from which the detections originate.
=== "Inference"
```{ .py hl_lines="8 12" }
import supervision as sv
from inference import get_model
model = get_model(model_id="yolov8n-640")
frames_generator = sv.get_video_frames_generator("<SOURCE_VIDEO_PATH>")
with sv.CSVSink("<TARGET_CSV_PATH>") as sink:
for frame_index, frame in enumerate(frames_generator):
results = model.infer(image)[0]
detections = sv.Detections.from_inference(results)
sink.append(detections, {"frame_index": frame_index})
```
=== "Ultralytics"
```{ .py hl_lines="8 12" }
import supervision as sv
from ultralytics import YOLO
model = YOLO("yolov8n.pt")
frames_generator = sv.get_video_frames_generator("<SOURCE_VIDEO_PATH>")
with sv.CSVSink("<TARGET_CSV_PATH>") as sink:
for frame_index, frame in enumerate(frames_generator):
results = model(frame)[0]
detections = sv.Detections.from_ultralytics(results)
sink.append(detections, {"frame_index": frame_index})
```
=== "Transformers"
```{ .py hl_lines="10 23" }
import torch
import supervision as sv
from transformers import DetrImageProcessor, DetrForObjectDetection
processor = DetrImageProcessor.from_pretrained("facebook/detr-resnet-50")
model = DetrForObjectDetection.from_pretrained("facebook/detr-resnet-50")
frames_generator = sv.get_video_frames_generator("<SOURCE_VIDEO_PATH>")

## Save Detections as JSON
If you prefer to save the result in a `.JSON` file instead of a `.CSV` file, all you
need to do is replace
[`sv.CSVSink`](https://supervision.roboflow.com/latest/detection/tools/save_detections/#supervision.detection.tools.csv_sink.CSVSink)
with
[`sv.JSONSink`](https://supervision.roboflow.com/latest/detection/tools/save_detections/#supervision.detection.tools.csv_sink.JSONSink).
=== "Inference"
```{ .py hl_lines="7" }

with sv.JSONSink("<TARGET_JSON_PATH>") as sink:
for frame_index, frame in enumerate(frames_generator):
results = model.infer(image)[0]
detections = sv.Detections.from_inference(results)
sink.append(detections, {"frame_index": frame_index})
```
=== "Ultralytics"
```{ .py hl_lines="7" }
import supervision as sv
