PeekingDuck is an open-source, modular framework in Python, built for Computer Vision (CV) inference. The name "PeekingDuck" is a play on: "Peeking" in a nod to CV; and "Duck" in duck typing.
- PeekingDuck enables you to build powerful CV pipelines with minimal lines of code.
- PeekingDuck comes with various object detection, pose estimation, object tracking, and crowd counting models. Mix and match different nodes to construct solutions for various use cases.
- You can create custom nodes to meet your own project's requirements. PeekingDuck can also be imported as a library to fit into your existing workflows.
Install from PyPI using pip
> pip install peekingduck
Note: for users with ARM-based devices such as a Raspberry Pi or Apple Silicon Mac, please refer to the documentation for more detailed installation instructions.
PeekingDuck can also be installed in a virtual environment.
> peekingduck verify-install
You should see a video of a person waving his hand with bounding boxes overlaid.
The video will close automatically when it is run to the end, select the video window and press q to exit earlier.
Create a project folder and initialize a PeekingDuck project.
> mkdir <project_dir>
> cd <project_dir>
> peekingduck init
Run the demo pipeline.
> peekingduck run
If you have a webcam, you should see a man waving on the output screen with skeletal frame overlaid.
Terminate the program by clicking on the output screen and pressing q.
