notebooks VS ultralytics

Yeah, inference[1] is our open source package for running locally (either directly in Python or via a Docker container). It works with all the models on Universe, models you train yourself (assuming we support the architecture; we have a bunch of notebooks available[2]), or train in our platform, plus several more general foundation models[3] (for things like embeddings, zero-shot detection, question answering, OCR, etc).

We also have a hosted API[4] you can hit for most models we support (except some of the large vision models that are really GPU-heavy) if you prefer.

We (the Roboflow open source team) actively write open source Google Colab notebooks showing how to use new SOTA models. Our library covers SAM, CLIP, Detectron2, YOLOv8, RTMDet, DINOv2, and more. These notebooks helped me cross the chasm from "how do I use X model?" to being able to both write and understand inference code.

Have fun! Great field. Just also try out the first few OpenCV tutorials, and train a few custom model to deploy to see what you think. Here’s a ton of free open source notebooks: https://github.com/roboflow/notebooks

Yep, I noticed this a while ago. It posts easily identifiable ChatGPT responses. It also posts garbage wrong answers which makes it worse than useless. Totally disrespectful to the userbase.

There are obvious places it is being used that I have noticed organically. For instance, check out the answers in this repo:

If you read the answers there, the style of answering is always to repeat the question in a very specific way. Once you see it you can’t in-see it.

When browsing the state-of-the-art in object detection on Papers with Code, I found the YOLO model to be one of the most popular, accurate, and fastest. That being said, I would recommend having a look at Ultralytics, which provides the tools to evaluate, predict, and export the latest versions of YOLO models with only a few lines of code.

YOLOv8 (You Only Look Once) is an open-source Computer Vision AI model released on January 10th, 2023. It’s called YOLO because it detects everything inside an image in a single pass. The new version can perform image detection, classification, instance segmentation, tracking, and pose estimation tasks.

Next, I needed to figure out, how can I access the stream, recognize an animal, then let Max know? There are tons of examples of recognizing an object via camera frames, but I ultimately found this python library called ultralytics that supports RTSP streams and classifying objects in the video frames using pre-built models. The docs looked like it would be pretty low effort, so after some experimentation, I was successful in having the ultralytics library recognize objects from my cheap camera!

I have created an issue in their Github as well but so far not much help has been recieved. You can check that here

And the target models include: * YOLOv8 (You Only Look Once) * YOLO-NAS * YOLOv5 * and DETR
