DJ and Team,
Have you seen the TensorFlow / Darknet / YOLO Real-time Object Detection videos? A friend of mine has implemented it on his PC and OMG, it is the fastest and most accurate object identification software that I have ever seen. It is light years beyond Open CV. And the best part is that like Open CV, it is also open source. It is a neural network program which it runs on Windows (and Linux).

Have you ever thought of adding this to ARC?

This sounds great, is there any way to post up a vid of it operation? There is an immovable implementation over on the MRL site the video looks awesome.
@thomasfromla this is great progress! We could also use the information perceived to drive a fully IK rigged arm within Unity, which would be my next goal!
Do you think it is possible to send the Values from YOLO directly to the Http Server, this would eliminated to read and write a .txt file and speed up things significantly!
Now this is getting interesting. I look forward to a video!
OK. I hear you. You want a video (or two)
Here is my to do list:
Depending on your internet connection, setting this up should take less than a half of an hour to install and get working. You will need a computer with good "horsepower" under the hood--a strong 4 core processor and at least 8 GB of RAM. And a GPU will get you up to 10-30 images processed per second. I don't have a GPU, so the best I get is about 1 image every 2 or 3 seconds.
Hi,
I put up a demo video with tensorflow/YOLO/Darknet/Darkflow on YouTube:
@thomasfromla this is a great demo! The end is hilarious!
Looking forward to see the setup and it would be great if you could share the ARC Project! Cant wait to try it myself!
Btw, I heard there are a few faster version of YOLO out there with a reduced amount of trained objects, can you confirm this?
There is a mini version, but I could never get it to work right. It is currently unsupported.
Next video: installation of the free Atom editor. You can run the software without Atom, but it is a whole lot harder. You see, Atom is more than just an editor. It allows you to compile and run code.
