The ovmlpy package provides image and video machine learning tools for
volleyball analytics. It provides similar functionality to the
ovml package, but ovmlpy uses a
Python-based implementation which should offer improved performance.
ovmlpy takes care of installing Python and required dependencies: you
do not need an existing Python installation on your system.
install.packages("ovmlpy", repos = c("https://openvolley.r-universe.dev",
"https://cloud.r-project.org"))
## or
## install.packages("remotes") ## if needed
remotes::install_github("openvolley/ovmlpy")On first use, you need to tell ovmlpy to install Python and some
required packages. It will install these into a virtual environment, so
that they do not interfere with other Python installation(s) that you
might already have on your system:
ovmlpy::ovml_yolo7_python_setup()Some other setup/installation notes:
-
if you wish to use a GPU card for improved performance you will need to ensure that the drivers are installed on your system
-
the first time you use a new type of network, it will also download the associated network weights file (~70MB, depending on network version)
-
note that you probably can’t use
ovmlandovmlpyin the same R session, because of conflicts in shared libraries.
ovmlpy includes the YOLO v7
object detection algorithm and an experimental version of this network
specifically for detecting volleyballs. This implementation draws
heavily from WongKinYiu/yolov7.
Create the network object once …
library(ovmlpy)
dn <- ovml_yolo()… then we can use the network to detect objects in an image:
img <- ovml_example_image()
dets <- ovml_yolo_detect(dn, img)
ovml_ggplot(img, dets)
Or detect human poses (experimental!):
dn2 <- ovml_yolo("7-w6-pose")
dets2 <- ovml_yolo_detect(dn2, img)
library(ggplot2)
library(ggsci)
ovml_ggplot(img) +
geom_segment(data = dets2, aes(x1, y1, xend = x2, yend = y2, col = segment), size = 1.5) +
scale_color_d3(palette = "category20", guide = "none")
