Real-time Object Detection with Phoenix and Python
TALK LEVEL: INTERMEDIATE / ADVANCED
YOLO (You Only Look Once) is a state-of-the-art, real-time object detection system. In this talk Alvise shares how we can bring its functionalities in a Phoenix app, taking advantage of Python's fantastic set of Machine Learning libraries.
Alvise will start by building an Elixir wrapper around a Python library, so he can detect objects on single images. Then we make it real-time on a Phoenix app, detecting objects from a webcam feed.
Live demo at the end!
