This project is a demonstration of object detection using YOLOv8 with the Edge TPU accelerator.
Before you begin, make sure you have the following:
- Coral M.2 or Mini PCIe Accelerator
- Python 3.x installed on your system
Create a virtual environment to isolate the dependencies for your project:
python -m venv myenv
source myenv/bin/activate # For Linux/MacOS
myenv\Scripts\activate.bat # For Windows
Install all the required dependencies using the following command:
pip install -r requirements.txt
Once the environment is set up and dependencies are installed, you can run the object detection example provided in inference.ipynb
.
