A python library built to empower developers to build applications and systems with self-contained Deep Learning and Computer Vision capabilities using simple and few lines of code.

An AI Commons project https://aicommons.science Developed and Maintained by Moses Olafenwa and John Olafenwa, brothers, creators of TorchFusion and Authors of Introduction to Deep Computer Vision

Built with simplicity in mind, ImageAI supports a list of state-of-the-art Machine Learning algorithms for image prediction, custom image prediction, object detection, video detection, video object tracking and image predictions trainings. ImageAI currently supports image prediction and training using 4 different Machine Learning algorithms trained on the ImageNet-1000 dataset. ImageAI also supports object detection, video detection and object tracking using RetinaNet, YOLOv3 and TinyYOLOv3 trained on COCO dataset.
Eventually, ImageAI will provide support for a wider and more specialized aspects of Computer Vision including and not limited to image recognition in special environments and special fields.

New Release : ImageAI 2.0.2
What's new:

• Option to state image size during custom image prediction model trainings
  
• Object Detection and Video Object detection now returns bounding box coordinates ('box points') (x1,y1,x2, y2) for each object detected in addition to object's 'name' and 'percentage probability'
  
• Options to hide 'percentage probability' and/or object 'name' from being shown in detected image or video
• Support for video object detection on video live stream from device camera, connected camera and IP camera
  
• Support for YOLOv3 and TinyYOLOv3 for all object detection and video object detection tasks.
• Video object detection for all input types (video file and camera) now allows defining custom functions to execute after each frame, each second and each minute of the video is detected and processed. Also include option to specify custom function at once video is fully detected and processed
  
• For each custom function specified, ImageAI returns the frame/seconds/minute/full video analysis of the detections that include the objects' details ( name , percentage probability, box_points), number of instance of each unique object detected (counts) and overall average count of the number of instance of each unique object detected in the case of second / minute / full video analysis
  
• Options to return detected frame at every frame, second or minute processed as a Numpy array.

Video Object Detection & Analysis

Below is a snapshot of a video with objects detected.

Video Custom Object Detection (Object Tracking)

Below is a snapshot of a video with only person, bicycle and motorcyle detected.

Video Analysis Visualization

Below is a visualization of video analysis returned by **ImageAI** into a 'per_second' function.

ImageAI provides very convenient and powerful methods to perform object detection in videos and track specific object(s). The video object detection class provided only supports the current state-of-the-art RetinaNet, but with options to adjust for state of the art performance or real time processing.
