Use `--no-track` to get an idea of the raw performance of the model.\n\n## Installation\n\nThis software requires the use of `ffmpeg`. If you have an Nvidia GPU, make sure you have the nvidia driver, CUDA, and that the version of `ffmpeg` you have includes support for nvidia encoding `hevc_nvenc` and nvidia decoding `hevc_cuvid`.\n\n```shell\n# Install requirements\npip install -r requirements.txt\n\n# Remove headless opencv and re-install the regular opencv (weird quirk)\npip uninstall -y opencv-python-headless opencv-python\npip install opencv-python~=4.10.0.84\n```\n\nMake sure you have `git-lfs` installed, and then run the following to download the sample model and data:\n\n```shell\ngit lfs pull\n```\n\n\n## Example Usage\n\n#### Tracking _With_ Trail Stabilization\n```shell\npython vision_cli.py videos/rc_demo.mp4 \\\n    --show-preview \\\n    --preview-size 1280x720 \\\n    --save-video \\\n    --show-plot \\\n    --show-triangle \\\n    --triangle-size 10x10 \\\n    --triangle-thickness 2 \\\n    --show-trace \\\n    --start-time 5 \\\n    --yolo-size 1280x720 \\\n    --out-size 1280x720 \\\n    --vid-stride 1 \\\n    --trail-stabilize \\\n    --trace-length 500 \\\n    --trace-thickness 3\n```\n\nhttps://github.com/user-attachments/assets/3e4b13fb-ba4a-490b-b6f0-dbb220c004b7\n\n\n#### Tracking _Without_ Trail Stabilization\n```shell\npython vision_cli.py videos/rc_demo.mp4 \\\n    --show-preview \\\n    --preview-size 1280x720 \\\n    --save-video \\\n    --show-plot \\\n    --show-triangle \\\n    --triangle-size 10x10 \\\n    --triangle-thickness 2 \\\n    --show-trace \\\n    --start-time 5 \\\n    --yolo-size 1280x720 \\\n    --out-size 1280x720 \\\n    --vid-stride 1 \\\n    --trace-length 500 \\\n    --trace-thickness 3\n```\n\nhttps://github.com/user-attachments/assets/0ac61615-6f46-409c-8e9a-684203c78155\n\n\n#### Basic Bounding Box + ID\n```shell\npython vision_cli.py videos/rc_demo.mp4 \\\n    --show-preview \\\n    --preview-size 1280x720 \\\n    --save-video \\\n    --show-plot \\\n    --show-box \\\n    --show-label \\\n    --start-time 5\n```\n\nhttps://github.com/user-attachments/assets/27e4df76-921c-43b2-812b-90c1e34be439\n\n\n#### No Tracking (Detection Only)\n```shell\npython vision_cli.py videos/rc_demo.mp4 \\\n    --show-preview \\\n    --preview-size 1280x720 \\\n    --save-video \\\n    --show-plot \\\n    --show-box \\\n    --show-label \\\n    --start-time 5 \\\n    --no-track \\\n    --conf 0.4\n```\n\nhttps://github.com/user-attachments/assets/b03a142f-2564-4831-9d89-98f76bd5819b\n\n\n\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fajcasagrande%2Frc-race-vision","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fajcasagrande%2Frc-race-vision","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fajcasagrande%2Frc-race-vision/lists"}
