detection-server

This project implements object detection served over grpc using the Google Edge TPU. These detections are returned from the server in the form of the centroid coordinates of the object's bounding box and its label.

This is part of the radar-ml project.

Installation

Clone this directory and cd to it.

Install the required Python modules in requirements.txt and OpenCV per the instructions here.

If you'd like to compile the Protocol Buffers from scratch, use the following command.

$ python3 -m grpc_tools.protoc -I. --python_out=. --grpc_python_out=. ./detection_server.proto

Usage

See detection_server.proto for the server's interface definitions.

The following illustrates an example client calling the detection server's services.
