Automatic Logo Detection

Description

A gradio application allowing users to detect potential logos given an input image. It performs zero-shot object detection using the OWLv2 Model.

Installation and Usage

1. Install Python 3.9+ on your machine.

2. Create and activate a python virtual enviornment (optional).

   • Follow this link for instruction on how to create one.

3. Run pip install -r requirements.txt on the command line or powershell to install the necessary dependencies.

   • Note: If you have access to a GPU, please install the correct version of pytorch from this link according to your CUDA version.

4. Run python app.py on the command line or powershell to launch the GUI locally. Click on the given link to open the GUI in your browser.

   • Note: This will take some time to run the first time as it needs to download the OWLv2 model.

5. Follow the instructions given at the bottom of the application.

6. If you have a GPU and the correct version of pytorch installed, the app will automatically use the GPU for detection.

   • With GPU, detection time per image is approximately 4 seconds.
   • Without GPU, detection time per image is approximately 50 seconds.

7. Experiment with different images.
