With a model hosted on Roboflow like the ones above and the open source supervision Python package, you can count traffic signals in your images and videos.

The following code snippet counts the number of traffic signals present in an image.

To use the snippet below, you will need to run pip install roboflow supervision. Replace the project name and model name with any model trained on Universe, such as those listed above.

import supervision as sv
            import roboflow
            
            roboflow.login()
            rf = roboflow.Roboflow()
            
            # replace with the traffic signal project you choose above
            project = rf.workspace("aabha").project("bap-obqut")
            traffic_signal_model = project.version(4).model
            
            results = traffic_signal_model.predict("traffic_signal.jpg").json()
            traffic_signals = sv.Detections.from_roboflow(results)
            
            # print number of traffic signals
            print(len(traffic_signals))

Guide: How to Count Traffic Signals in a Zone

With a bit more code, you can count the number of traffic signal present in a specific zone of your image or video.

The following code snippet counts the number of traffic signal present in each frame in a video.

To use the snippet below, you will need to run pip install roboflow supervision. Replace the project name and model name with any model trained on Universe, such as those listed above.

Guide: How to Track Traffic Signals Crossing a Line

You can count how many traffic signals have crossed a line using the supervision LineCounter method.

The following code snippet counts the number of traffic signals that cross a line in a video.

To use the snippet below, you will need to run pip install roboflow supervision. Replace the project name and model name with any model trained on Universe, such as those listed above.
