YOLOv4 Tutorial #1 - Prerequisites for YOLOv4 Installation in 10 Steps

Tutorial on YouTube

Introduction

Hey guys and welcome back, so in the last lecture, I spoke about how YOLOv4 works and why its so awesome! Today I’m going to show you how to install the main dependencies in 10 Steps. If you follow these steps with me you should be able to get YOLOv4 working on images, videos and webcams in the upcoming tutorials.

Let’s go through the 10 steps that we need to for YOLOv4.

  1. Install Python
  2. Git Installation
  3. CMake Installation
  4. Visual Studio Installation
  5. Updating GPU Driver
  6. CUDA installation
  7. CuDNN Installation
  8. OpenCV Installation
  9. CMake OpenCV Configuration, and
  10. Building OpenCV in Visual Studio

It may seem like a lot of steps but, it is more reliable that using Anaconda to install everything. Well at least from my experience.

Some Prerequisites that you will need for this tutorial:

  • Are a mid to high range PC/Laptop
  • Windows 10, we will be launching an Ubuntu version of this YOLOv4 soon., and
  • A CUDA supported NVIDIA GPU, Just note that this will NOT work on any other GPU brand

Road Map

So, looking at our road map

  • Tut 1 which is this one, we spend setting up the pre-requisites
  • Tut 2, which is the next lecture, we will install Darknet & implement YOLOv4 on an image
  • Tut 3 we take YOLOv4 into real time object detection on video, for processing and saving a video and detection on a webcam.
  • Tut 4, we create a social Distancing App using YOLOv4.

Okay so let’s get into the tutorial - Click this link to get started

Movidius NCS (with Raspberry Pi) vs. Google Edge TPU (Coral) vs. Nvidia Jetson Nano – A Quick Comparison

Image
Lately, there has been a lot of talk regarding the possibility of machines learning to do what human beings do in factories, homes, and offices. With the advancement in artificial intelligence , there has been widespread fear and excitement about what AI, machine learning, and deep learning is capable of doing. What is really cool is that Deep Learning and AI models are making their way from the cloud and bulky desktops to smaller and lower powered hardware. In this article, we will help you understand the strengths and weaknesses about three of the most dominant deep learning AI hardware platforms out there. The Intel Movidius Neural Compute Stick (NCS) with Raspberry Pi Developed by Intel Corporation, the Movidius Neural Compute Stick can efficiently operate without an active internet connection. Its computing capabilities come from the Myriad 2 Vision Processing Unit (VPU) . It offers profiling, tuning, and compiling a Deep Neural Network (DNN) on a development computer with the ri...

DeepSORT - Deep Learning applied to Object Tracking

Image
Introduction So in this article, Im going to give to you a clear and simple explanation on how Deep SORT works and why its so amazing compared to other models like Tracktor++, Track-RCNN and JDE. But to understand how DeepSORT works, we first have to go back, waaay back and understand the fundamentals of object tracking and the key innovations that had to happen along the way, for DeepSORT to emerge. Before we get started, if you are interested in developing object tracking apps, then checkout my course in the link down below, where I show you how you can fuse the popular YOLOv4 with DeepSORT for robust and real-time applications. Okay so back to Object Tracking. Now lets imagine that you that you are working for Space X, and Mr. Musk has tasked you with ensuring that on launch, the ground camera is always pointing at the Falcon 9 as it thrust into the atmosphere. As much as you are excited to be personally chosen by Elon to work on this task you ask yourself, “How will I go about th...

OpenCV AI Kit - An Introduction to OAK-1 and OAK-D

Image
Introduction Okay so I just got my OpenCV AI Kit and I am really excited to play with. But even though Iv seen a bunch of features on Kickstarter, I don’t quite understand the true capabilities of this device and why I should even care . Well in this video we going take a deep dive into this device and find out exactly what its capable off, and at the end of the video I will share my thoughts on if this device is worth all the hype as well how it matches up to the competition. What is the OpenCV AI Kit So before we get into that, lets get into the first question of What exactly is the OpenCV AI Kit or OAK. According to the creators, it is a tiny, powerful, open source Spatial AI system. So you can think of it as if an embedded 4k camera and neural compute stick had a baby, make that two babies OAK-1 and OAK-D Difference between the OAK 1 – OAK D Now What sets these two devices apart is that the OAK-1 has automatic motion-based lossless digital zooming which means that the sensor has ...
