Product Development Project - Heureka Robot Machine Vision

This repository provides a machine vision implementation for detecting human motions in real-time.

Current Features

• YOLOv8 for Person Detection: Utilizes the YOLOv8 model to detect humans in real-time.
• Motion Detection: Detects moving gestures by analyzing motion within the bounding box of detected persons.
• Flexible Input:
  • Process live input from a webcam camera.
  • Process video files from a folder.
  • Process live input from an Intel RealSense camera.

How to Run

Hardware

• A computer with a webcam camera.

Software

• Python 3.10+

Python Dependencies

After cloning, please install the required Python packages by running this command:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Dependencies currently include:

• opencv-python
• ultralytics
• pyrealsense2
• numpy

Usage

Currently, the script supports the following use cases:

1. Motion detection from videos

To process a folder of test videos:

1. Place your video files in a folder (here it's test-videos).
2. Run the following command:

python with_stock_vid/main.py

The script will iterate through all video files in the specified folder and display the processed frames with motion detection results.

2. Waving Detection from Camera

TO BE ADDED: Script for live motion detection from webcam camera.

Main Structure of Repository

Currently, the repository structure is as follows:

├── with_camera/                    # TO BE ADDED
│   ├── main.py                     # TO BE ADDED: Script for motion detection from webcam camera

├── README.md                       # Documentation (this file)

Known Issues

• Motion Detection Sensitivity: Requires further fine-tuning of the motion detection threshold. The algorithm still needs to distinguish actual waving gesture to other motions.
• Deprecated Warnings: Some platforms may show warnings for deprecated camera APIs.
• Intel RealSense SDK Installation: Ensure pyrealsense2 is installed correctly for live camera input.
