DepthAI API Demo Program

This repo contains demo application, which can load different networks, create pipelines, record video, etc.

Click on the GIF below to see a full example run

Documentation is available at https://docs.luxonis.com/en/latest/pages/tutorials/first_steps/.

Installation

First you need to clone this repository with

git clone --recursive https://github.com/luxonis/depthai.git

In case you have repository already cloned, you can update your submodules with:

git pull --recurse-submodules

There are two installation steps that need to be performed to make sure the demo works:

One-time installation that will add all necessary packages to your OS.
```
$ sudo curl -fL https://docs.luxonis.com/install_dependencies.sh | bash
```
Please follow this installation page to see instructions for other platforms
Python dependencies installation that makes sure your Python interpreter has all required packages installed. This script is safe to be run multiple times and should be ran after every demo update
```
$ python3 install_requirements.py
```

Docker

One may start any DepthAI programs also through Docker: (Allowing X11 access from container might be required: xhost local:root)

DepthAI Demo

docker run --privileged -v /dev/bus/usb:/dev/bus/usb --device-cgroup-rule='c 189:* rmw' -e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix --network host --rm -i -t luxonis/depthai:latest python3 /depthai/depthai_demo.py

Calibration

docker run --privileged -v /dev/bus/usb:/dev/bus/usb --device-cgroup-rule='c 189:* rmw' -e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix --network host --rm -i -t luxonis/depthai:latest python3 /depthai/calibrate.py [parameters]

Usage

This repository and the demo script itself can be used in various independent cases:

As a tool to try out different DepthAI features, explorable either with command line arguments (with --guiType cv) or in clickable QT interface (with --guiType qt)
As a quick prototyping backbone, either utilising callbacks mechanism or by extending the Demo class itself

QT GUI usage

See instuctions here

Command line usage

Examples

python3 depthai_demo.py -gt cv - RGB & CNN inference example

python3 depthai_demo.py -gt cv -vid <path_to_video_or_yt_link> - CNN inference on video example

python3 depthai_demo.py -gt cv -cnn person-detection-retail-0013 - Runs person-detection-retail-0013 model from resources/nn directory

python3 depthai_demo.py -gt cv -cnn tiny-yolo-v3 -sh 8 - Run tiny-yolo-v3 model from resources/nn directory and compile for 8 shaves

Demo

For the full reference, run $ depthai_demo.py --help.

DepthAI Apps

We currently have 2 apps, uvc and record.

UVC app

This app will upload an UVC pipeline to the connected OAK camera, so you will be able to use an OAK as a webcam.

Record App

Record app lets you record encoded and synced video streams (MJPEG/H265) across all available devices into .mp4, Foxglove's .MCAP, or ROS' .bag . Since mono streams are synced, you will be able to reconstruct the whole stereo depth perception.

Run using $ depthai_demo.py -app record [-p SAVE_PATH] [-q QUALITY] [--save STREAMS] [-fc] [-tl]. More information about the arguments and replaying can be found here.

Supported models

We have added support for a number of different AI models that work (decoding and visualization) out-of-the-box with the demo. You can specify which model to run with -cnn argument, as shown above. Currently supported models:

- deeplabv3p_person
- face-detection-adas-0001
- face-detection-retail-0004
- human-pose-estimation-0001
- mobilenet-ssd
- openpose2
- pedestrian-detection-adas-0002
- person-detection-retail-0013
- person-vehicle-bike-detection-crossroad-1016
- road-segmentation-adas-0001
- tiny-yolo-v3
- vehicle-detection-adas-0002
- vehicle-license-plate-detection-barrier-0106
- yolo-v3

If you would like to use a custom AI model, see documentation here.

Usage statistics

By default, the demo script will collect anonymous usage statistics during runtime. These include:

Device-specific information (like mxid, connected cameras, device state and connection type)
Environment-specific information (like OS type, python version, package versions)

We gather this data to better understand what environemnts are our users using, as well as assist better in support questions.

All of the data we collect is anonymous and you can disable it at any time. To do so, click on the "Misc" tab and disable sending the statistics or create a .consent file in repository root with the following content

{"statistics": false}

Reporting issues

We are actively developing the DepthAI framework, and it's crucial for us to know what kind of problems you are facing. If you run into a problem, please follow the steps below and email support@luxonis.com:

Run log_system_information.sh and share the output from (log_system_information.txt).
Take a photo of a device you are using (or provide us a device model)
Describe the expected results;
Describe the actual running results (what you see after started your script with DepthAI)
How you are using the DepthAI python API (code snippet, for example)
