Model Usage
Usage with Huggingface spaces
If you don't want to run it locally, you can use this huggingface space that I've created with this code but be aware that this will be slow since I'm using a free instance, so it's better to run it locally with the python script below.
Remember to check that the Model URL is pointing to the model that you want to test.

Usage with Python script
Install the following PIP requirements
gradio
ultralytics
Pillow
opencv-python
torch
Then run the python code below and open http://localhost:8800
in a browser to upload and scan the images.
import gradio as gr
from ultralytics import YOLO
from PIL import Image
import os
import cv2
import torch
DEFAULT_MODEL_URL = "https://huggingface.co/luisarizmendi/hardhat-or-hat/tree/main/v2/model/pytorch/best.pt"
def detect_objects_in_files(model_input, files):
"""
Processes uploaded images for object detection.
"""
if not files:
return "No files uploaded.", []
model = YOLO(str(model_input))
if torch.cuda.is_available():
model.to('cuda')
print("Using GPU for inference")
else:
print("Using CPU for inference")
results_images = []
for file in files:
try:
image = Image.open(file).convert("RGB")
results = model(image)
result_img_bgr = results[0].plot()
result_img_rgb = cv2.cvtColor(result_img_bgr, cv2.COLOR_BGR2RGB)
results_images.append(result_img_rgb)
# If you want that images appear one by one (slower)
#yield "Processing image...", results_images
except Exception as e:
return f"Error processing file: {file}. Exception: {str(e)}", []
del model
torch.cuda.empty_cache()
return "Processing completed.", results_images
