Detect litter with machine learning

Post by Tattle2314 »

Hello, I'm currently doing a science fair project on "detect litter with machine learning." I've gotten all my images for my project and done all the steps correctly however whenever i input my video name into the code the output isn't working. What I mean is that the output doesn't show boxes on the videos as it should be and instead shows no detections. I'm hoping someone could reach out soon. Thank you

Hi, I was having the same problem and I realized you just need to add a ".mp4" or whatever the file type is at the end of the name of your video. Good luck!

Hey. I did put mp4 at the end but could it be for the lack of data? I put 30 images and plan on putting 100 now.

Did your problem resolve once you added the full set of training data? If you are still having a problem running your notebook, can you please take a screenshot showing the error you are seeing and add it in a post so we can see what you are seeing?
