The name \"PeekingDuck\" is a play on: \"Peeking\" in a nod to CV; and \"Duck\" in [duck typing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duck_typing).\n\n\nFeatures\n--------\n\n### Build realtime CV pipelines\n* PeekingDuck enables you to build powerful CV pipelines with minimal lines of code.\n\n### Leverage on SOTA models\n* PeekingDuck comes with various [object detection](https://peekingduck.readthedocs.io/en/stable/resources/01a_object_detection.html), [pose estimation](https://peekingduck.readthedocs.io/en/stable/resources/01b_pose_estimation.html), [object tracking](https://peekingduck.readthedocs.io/en/stable/resources/01c_object_tracking.html), and [crowd counting](https://peekingduck.readthedocs.io/en/stable/resources/01d_crowd_counting.html) models. Mix and match different nodes to construct solutions for various [use cases](https://peekingduck.readthedocs.io/en/stable/use_cases/index.html).\n\n### Create custom nodes\n* You can create [custom nodes](https://peekingduck.readthedocs.io/en/stable/tutorials/02_duck_confit.html#custom-nodes) to meet your own project's requirements. PeekingDuck can also be [imported as a library](https://peekingduck.readthedocs.io/en/stable/tutorials/05_calling_peekingduck_in_python.html) to fit into your existing workflows.\n\n\nInstallation\n------------\n\nInstall from [PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/peekingduck/) using `pip`\n\n```\n\u003e pip install peekingduck\n```\n\n*Note: for users with ARM-based devices such as a Raspberry Pi or Apple Silicon Mac, please refer to the documentation for more detailed [installation instructions](https://peekingduck.readthedocs.io/en/stable/getting_started/03_custom_install.html).*\n\nPeekingDuck can also be [installed in a virtual environment](https://peekingduck.readthedocs.io/en/stable/getting_started/02_standard_install.html).\n\n\n```\n\u003e peekingduck verify-install\n```\n\nYou should see a video of a person waving his hand with\n[bounding boxes overlaid](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aisingapore/PeekingDuck/main/docs/source/assets/getting_started/verify_install.gif).\n\nThe video will close automatically when it is run to the end, select the video window and press `q` to exit earlier.\n\n\nUsage\n-----\n\nCreate a project folder and initialize a PeekingDuck project.\n```\n\u003e mkdir \u003cproject_dir\u003e\n\u003e cd \u003cproject_dir\u003e\n\u003e peekingduck init\n```\n\nRun the demo pipeline.\n```\n\u003e peekingduck run\n```\n\nIf you have a webcam, you should see a man waving on the output screen with\n[skeletal frame overlaid](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aisingapore/PeekingDuck/main/docs/source/assets/getting_started/default_pipeline.gif).\n\nTerminate the program by clicking on the output screen and pressing `q`.\n\nUse `peekingduck --help` to display help information for PeekingDuck's command-line interface.\n\n\nGallery\n-------\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd\u003e\n      \u003ca href=\"https://peekingduck.readthedocs.io/en/stable/use_cases/social_distancing.html\"\u003e\n        \u003cimg src=\"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aisingapore/PeekingDuck/main/docs/source/assets/use_cases/social_distancing.gif\"\u003e\n      \u003c/a\u003e\n    \u003c/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd\u003e\n      \u003ca href=\"https://peekingduck.readthedocs.io/en/stable/use_cases/privacy_protection_faces.html\"\u003e\n        \u003cimg src=\"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aisingapore/PeekingDuck/main/docs/source/assets/use_cases/privacy_protection_faces.gif\"\u003e\n      \u003c/a\u003e\n    \u003c/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd\u003e\n      \u003ca href=\"https://peekingduck.readthedocs.io/en/stable/use_cases/zone_counting.html\"\u003e\n        \u003cimg src=\"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aisingapore/PeekingDuck/main/docs/source/assets/use_cases/zone_counting.gif\"\u003e\n      \u003c/a\u003e\n    \u003c/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd\u003e\n      \u003ca href=\"https://peekingduck.readthedocs.io/en/stable/use_cases/object_counting_over_time.html\"\u003e\n        \u003cimg src=\"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aisingapore/PeekingDuck/main/docs/source/assets/use_cases/object_counting_over_time.gif\"\u003e\n      \u003c/a\u003e\n    \u003c/td\u003e\n  \u003c/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n    \u003ctd\u003e\n      \u003ca href=\"https://peekingduck.readthedocs.io/en/stable/use_cases/group_size_checking.html\"\u003e\n        \u003cimg src=\"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aisingapore/PeekingDuck/main/docs/source/assets/use_cases/group_size_checking.gif\"\u003e\n      \u003c/a\u003e\n    \u003c/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd\u003e\n      \u003ca href=\"https://peekingduck.readthedocs.io/en/stable/use_cases/privacy_protection_license_plates.html\"\u003e\n        \u003cimg src=\"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aisingapore/PeekingDuck/main/docs/source/assets/use_cases/privacy_protection_license_plates.gif\"\u003e\n      \u003c/a\u003e\n    \u003c/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd\u003e\n      \u003ca href=\"https://peekingduck.readthedocs.io/en/stable/use_cases/crowd_counting.html\"\u003e\n        \u003cimg src=\"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aisingapore/PeekingDuck/main/docs/source/assets/use_cases/crowd_counting.gif\"\u003e\n      \u003c/a\u003e\n    \u003c/td\u003e\n    \u003ctd\u003e\n      \u003ca href=\"https://peekingduck.readthedocs.io/en/stable/use_cases/people_counting_over_time.html\"\u003e\n        \u003cimg src=\"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aisingapore/PeekingDuck/main/docs/source/assets/use_cases/people_counting_over_time.gif\"\u003e\n      \u003c/a\u003e\n    \u003c/td\u003e\n  \u003c/tr\u003e\n\u003c/table\u003e\n\n\nAcknowledgements\n----------------\n\nThis project is supported by the National Research Foundation, Singapore under its AI Singapore Programme (AISG-RP-2019-050).
