Building an Object Detection, Tracking, and Counting System with YOLO V8

🔍The moment gets exciting when we put YOLO V8 models to the test and build something useful with them.

🚗We'll explore two use cases: counting cars moving on the street and counting objects on a conveyor.

🔧With the right tooling, building an object detection, tracking, and counting system becomes like connecting small Lego blocks.

📸We'll use the latest YOLO V8 model for object detection, the byte track for tracking, and the supervision library for counting.

✨The code used in both use cases is the same, making it easy to reuse in your own projects.

What are the two use cases explored in the tutorial?

—The tutorial explores counting cars moving on the street and counting objects on a conveyor.

What models are used for object detection, tracking, and counting?

—The tutorial uses the YOLO V8 model for object detection, the byte track for tracking, and the supervision library for counting.

Can I reuse the code in my own projects?

—Yes, the code used in both use cases is the same, making it easy to reuse in your own projects.

What makes building an object detection, tracking, and counting system exciting?

—The excitement comes from putting the YOLO V8 models to the test and building something useful with them.

What tooling is required to build the system?

—The right tooling, similar to connecting small Lego blocks, is needed to build the object detection, tracking, and counting system.
