            # MegaDetector

This package is a pip-installable version of the support/inference code for [MegaDetector](https://github.com/agentmorris/MegaDetector), an object detection model that helps conservation biologists spend less time doing boring things with camera trap images.

If you want to learn more about what MegaDetector is all about, head over to the [MegaDetector repo](https://github.com/agentmorris/MegaDetector).


## Reasons you probably aren't looking for this package

### If you are an ecologist...

If you are an ecologist looking to use MegaDetector to help you get through your camera trap images, you probably don't want this package.  We recommend starting with our "[Getting started with MegaDetector](https://github.com/agentmorris/MegaDetector/blob/main/collaborations.md)" page, then digging in to the [MegaDetector User Guide](https://github.com/agentmorris/MegaDetector/blob/main/megadetector.md), which will walk you through the process of using MegaDetector.  That journey will <i>not</i> involve this Python package.

### If you are a computer-vision-y type...

If you are a computer-vision-y person looking to run or fine-tune MegaDetector programmatically, you still probably don't want this package.  MegaDetector is just a fine-tuned version of [YOLOv5](https://github.com/ultralytics/yolov5), and the [ultralytics](https://github.com/ultralytics/ultralytics/) package (from the developers of YOLOv5) has a zillion bells and whistles for both inference and fine-tuning that this package doesn't.

## Reasons you might want to use this package

If you want to programmatically interact with the postprocessing tools from the MegaDetector repo, or programmatically run MegaDetector in a way that produces [Timelapse](https://saul.cpsc.ucalgary.ca/timelapse)-friendly output (i.e., output in the standard [MegaDetector output format](https://github.com/agentmorris/MegaDetector/tree/main/api/batch_processing#megadetector-batch-output-format)), this package might be for you.

Although even if that describes you, you <i>still</i> might be better off cloning the MegaDetector repo.  Pip-installability requires that some dependencies be newer than what was available at the time MDv5 was trained, so results are <i>very slightly</i> different than results produced in the "official" environment.  These differences <i>probably</i> don't matter much, but they have not been formally characterized.

## If I haven't talked you out of using this package...

To install:

`pip install megadetector`

MegaDetector model weights aren't downloaded at pip-install time, but they will be (optionally) automatically downloaded the first time you run the model.

### Examples of things you can do with this package

#### Run MegaDetector on one image and count the number of detections

```
from md_utils import url_utils
from md_visualization import visualization_utils as vis_utils
from detection import run_detector

# This is the image at the bottom of this page, it has one animal in it
image_url = 'https://github.com/agentmorris/MegaDetector/raw/main/images/orinoquia-thumb-web.jpg'
temporary_filename = url_utils.download_url(image_url)

image = vis_utils.load_image(temporary_filename)

# This will automatically download MDv5a; you can also specify a filename.
model = run_detector.load_detector('MDV5A')

result = model.generate_detections_one_image(image)

detections_above_threshold = [d for d in result['detections'] if d['conf'] > 0.2]
print('Found {} detections above threshold'.format(len(detections_above_threshold)))
```

#### Run MegaDetector on a folder of images

```
from detection.run_detector_batch import load_and_run_detector_batch,write_results_to_file
from md_utils import path_utils
import os

# Pick a folder to run MD on recursively, and an output file
image_folder = os.path.expanduser('~/megadetector_test_images')
output_file = os.path.expanduser('~/megadetector_output_test.json')

# Recursively find images
image_file_names = path_utils.find_images(image_folder,recursive=True)

# This will automatically download MDv5a; you can also specify a filename.
results = load_and_run_detector_batch('MDV5A', image_file_names)

# Write results to a format that Timelapse and other downstream tools like.
write_results_to_file(results,
                      output_file,
                      relative_path_base=image_folder,
                      detector_file=detector_filename)
```
