#2This is a perfect module for an ideal proactive security system, thank you.

#3> 'arm/mil' --> this class detects certain types of armored vehicles (very unreliable for now, don't use it yet)
Living near a bunch of the military bases, this is what I really need. My suburban defense system keeps mistaking USPS trucks for APCs.
I haven’t received any mail for months.
Sidenote: what are the export restriction?

#4What would be legitimate civilian uses for this technology apart from [0]? After the 10k drone swarm the other day and the pager attacks all I can think of is slaughterbots, which is genuinely freaking me out.

#5Giving credit where it's due, this project is almost worth doing just to be able to use that fabulously-well-fit initialism.

#6So it gives us, for all the objects in view, a unique id, location, location history, various alerts.
What else? Any thing-description?
If an object leaves the view and re-enters, does it get the same id?

#7I wonder if these achievements are related to war in Ukraine. Do scientists suddenly receive more funding or something? Or it just happens?
Is there a non public version with very reliable arm/mil? Is there a version which can reliably distinguish T-80 with and without Z?

#8Cool. But doesn't include the training data. So can't reproduce it. :-(

> The basic model shared here, which is the only one published as FOSS at the moment, is capable of detecting these classes of items in overhead images ranging in altitude from about 30 feet to satellite imagery with a resolution of 50cm per pixel or better.
It's not just for drones, it's for any overhead imaging.
This can be used for all kinds of things like search and rescue, traffic monitoring, watching for wildfires, disaster response, monitoring parking lots as an economic indicator, etc.

#10Hey, thanks for posting. New release is coming tomorrow on HF BTW. AMA
