The goals of this project are:

-Our project is to detect whether the distance from the probe to the pipeline meets the criteria, utilizing machine learning

-This project aims to perform object detection and distance measurement using YOLOv5 object detection model.

Before you start, you will need Python and Conda on your computer.

Python 3.6 or higher

PyTorch 1.7.0 or higher

OpenCV 4.2.0 or higher

NumPy 1.18.0 or higher

1. Clone this repository(use http/ssh):

git clone https://github.com/AlexandreQ27/LDAR_Detection.git

Warning

You may see below errors that prevent you from connecting to the remote repository, or timeout errors when you do push operations, especially if you are using the HTTP protocol.

Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/AlexandreQ27/LDAR_Detection.git': Recv failure: Connection was reset.
fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/AlexandreQ27/LDAR_Detection.git': The requested URL returned error : 403.

Solution:

1. Use SSH protocol to access the repo.
2. Try more times in case the push operation fails occasionally.

2. Install YOLOv5

git clone https://github.com/ultralytics/yolov5.git

3. Install the required packages:

cd yolov5
pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Download the YOLOv5 model weights from the official repository or from my project(yolov5s.pt)

-YOLOv5: https://github.com/ultralytics/yolov5

-OpenCV: https://opencv.org/

-PyTorch: https://pytorch.org/

Python 3.6

PyTorch 0.4.1

OpenCV 4.1

1. Install Monodepth2

If this is your first time cloning this repository, use the following command will install both YOLOv5 and Monodepth2.

git submodule update --init --recursive

2. Install the required packages:

The requirements.txt is in our repository's directory: requirements, create a new Python virtual environment for monodepth2 and use the following command.

pip install -r .\requirements.txt

Warning

You may see errors below that prevent you from installing PyTorch.

ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement torch==0.4.1 (from versions: 1.7.0, 1.7.1, 1.8.0, 1.8.1, 1.9.0, 1.9.1, 1.10.0, 1.10.1, 1.10.2)
