Here’s a `README.md` file for the script `detect_count_send_ubidots.py`: ```markdown # Detect, Count, and Send Data to Ubidots This Python script uses a YOLO-based object detection system to detect and count objects in a video feed and send the count data to Ubidots. It is designed for real-time applications, leveraging OpenCV and the YOLO (You Only Look Once) framework for object detection. ## Features - **Object Detection**: Identifies objects in the video feed using YOLOv3-Tiny. - **Object Counting**: Counts occurrences of each detected object in real-time. - **Data Transmission**: Sends the count data to the Ubidots IoT platform. - **Live Visualization**: Displays the video feed with bounding boxes, labels, and counts for detected objects. ## Requirements - Python 3.x - OpenCV - NumPy - Requests - YOLOv3-Tiny weights and configuration files - A `coco.names` file containing the names of the classes. ## Setup 1. **Install Dependencies**: ```bash pip install opencv-python-headless numpy requests ``` 2. **Prepare YOLO Files**: - Download the YOLOv3-Tiny weights (`yolov3_tiny_best.weights`) and configuration (`yolov3_tiny.cfg`) files. - Place these files in the specified directory (update paths in the script if necessary). 3. **Configure Ubidots**: - Replace `DEVICE_ID` and `TOKEN` in the script with your Ubidots device ID and API token. 4. **Ensure `coco.names` File**: - Add the `coco.names` file containing object class names in the script's directory. ## Usage 1. **Run the Script**: ```bash python detect_count_send_ubidots.py ``` 2. **Controls**: - Press `q` to quit the live feed. 3. **Output**: - The video feed will display bounding boxes, labels, and counts for detected objects. - Detected object counts are sent to the Ubidots platform. ## Code Structure - **Ubidots Integration**: - Sends object counts to Ubidots using HTTP POST requests. - **Object Detection**: - Uses YOLOv3-Tiny to detect objects in a video feed from a connected camera. - **Object Counting**: - Aggregates and counts detected objects using their class IDs. - **Visualization**: - Displays bounding boxes, labels, and object counts in the live video feed. ## Customization - **Detection Threshold**: - Modify the confidence threshold in the script: ```python if confidence > 0.7: ``` - **Ubidots API**: - Update the API URL or additional parameters if required for your setup. ##
