Practical overview
When it fits
Use EdgeYOLO when you need an object detector implementation to run or adapt in an edge-oriented computer-vision pipeline, and can manage the local environment and any platform-specific dependencies.
Who it is for
- Computer-vision developers building embedded or edge-device applications.
- Teams evaluating object detection on COCO2017 or aerial imagery using VisDrone2019-DET.
- Developers adapting model exports and deployment examples for supported platform-specific runtimes.
Documented uses
- Detect objects in image and video inputs.
- Evaluate object-detection models on COCO2017 or VisDrone2019-DET.
- Train or export models and investigate deployment using documented runtime and hardware paths.
Requirements & limits
The implementation is publicly available on GitHub under the Apache-2.0 license. It is self-hosted rather than a hosted inference service.
- The repository provides multiple model sizes, with different reported accuracy and speed figures.
- The project reports benchmarks on NVIDIA Jetson AGX Xavier; performance depends on the documented test settings and should not be treated as a guarantee for other hardware.
- Platform deployment paths have distinct dependencies; TensorRT requires torch2trt and the TensorRT Development Toolkit, while the Ascend conversion path requires vendor libraries and tools.
- The README reports RKNN inference deployment code specifically for RK3588.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
Install the repository's Python requirements
Prepare a local checkout for the documented inference and development workflow.
Before you start
- Git
- Python environment capable of installing the repository requirements
Steps
Clone https://github.com/LSH9832/edgeyolo.git.
Change into the edgeyolo repository directory.
Install dependencies with pip install -r requirements.txt.
Expected outcome
The repository dependencies are installed for the next project workflow.
Guide limitations
- This setup sequence does not by itself download model weights or run inference.
- TensorRT use has additional requirements: torch2trt and TensorRT Development Toolkit version greater than 7.1.3.0.
