Latest open source project for quick and easy computer vision

Hey IH!

I've spent the past 1-2 months working on Detecto (https://github.com/alankbi/detecto), a Python package that lets you train an object detection model in 10 lines of code or less.

I wanted to learn how to create computer vision/object detection models for my school's robotics club but found the learning curve pretty steep. With Detecto, my hope is that it makes the field more approachable to newcomers and gives people a quick and easy option for when the existing libraries are too heavy-duty.

Please let me know what you think and if you have any feedback!

    impressive work you've done man! But seems to be an issue installing the package.

      Thanks! Do you mind sharing what error you’re getting? I just realized on the project README I listed pip install detecto when it should be pip3; maybe that’s the error?

    Wow, very cool! I will definitely be checking this out, because I have been looking for an easy way to get started with my own object detection models
