Welcome to the world of AS-One v2, a powerful modular library designed for YOLO object detection, segmentation, and tracking. Whether you are a seasoned developer or a novice in the field of computer vision, this guide will help you navigate through the setup and usage of AS-One seamlessly.

Getting Started with AS-One

AS-One is essentially a Python wrapper that enables the integration of various tracking algorithms like ByteTrack and DeepSORT with multiple YOLO object detection models. With just a few lines of code, you can harness the computational power of these technologies for your projects.

Installation Requirements

• Ensure you have GPU drivers installed if you plan to use GPU capabilities. Refer to the driver installation guide for detailed instructions.
• For Windows users, make sure you have MS Build tools installed.
• If not already installed, download Git for Windows.

Installation Steps

To install AS-One, follow these steps depending on your operating system:

For Linux

• Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/augmentedstartups/AS-One.git

• Change into the AS-One directory:

cd AS-One

• Setup the Python environment and install dependencies:

python3 -m venv .env
source .env/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

For Windows 10/11

• Set up the environment:

python -m venv .env
.env\Scripts\activate

• Install necessary modules:

pip install numpy Cython
pip install -e git+https://github.com/samson-wang/cython_bbox.git#egg=cython-bbox
pip install asone onnxruntime-gpu==1.12.1
pip install super-gradients==3.1.3

For macOS

• Follow the Linux instructions to install AS-One.

Quick Start: Object Detection and Tracking

To dive right in, here’s a simple example of how to use the AS-One library for object tracking:

import asone
from asone import ASOne

# Initialize AS-One with the ByteTrack tracker and YOLOv9 detector
model = ASOne(tracker=asone.BYTETRACK, detector=asone.YOLOV9_C, use_cuda=True)

# Track items in a sample video
tracks = model.video_tracker('datasample_videos/test.mp4', filter_classes=['car'])

# Process and annotate results
for model_output in tracks:
    annotations = ASOne.draw(model_output, display=True)

Understanding the Code: An Analogy

Think of the AS-One library as a pizza restaurant. The various components (e.g., trackers like ByteTrack and detectors like YOLO) are the unique ingredients you can choose for your pizza. Just as you can mix and match toppings according to your taste, you can integrate different detection and tracking algorithms depending on your project’s requirements. Each ingredient (or algorithm) contributes to making your final pizza (or project) distinctive and deliciously effective!

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues during installation or while running the code, here are some troubleshooting tips:

• Check your Python version. Make sure you’re using a compatible version as specified in the requirements.
• Ensure your GPU drivers are correctly installed and recognized by the system.
• For Windows, re-examine the installation of MS Build tools as it is crucial for compiling various dependencies.
• If your code is throwing errors, double-check your file paths and the data samples you are trying to use.
