This project implements real-time object detection using a YOLO v8 model, a Rust gRPC service (Tonic + Ort) for inference, and an Axum-based middleware that streams video from a webcam or file, collects predictions, and serves them via Http. A simple HTML page is available to visualize the detections live from a webcam.
- Tonic, Ort for running YOLO model inference via gRPC using ONNX runtime
- Axum, Tonic for handling video streaming and client Http requests
- OpenCV for processing video frames in the middleware
- HTML + JavaScript for real-time visualization
To run the project, simply execute the following command at the root directory:
make allThis will download the necessary images, runs the service and automatically open a webpage for visualization.
Currently, the project only works on Linux as it relies on mounting the /dev/video1 device.
If you are using a different video input, you may need to modify the source code accordingly.
