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 meter project you choose above
project = rf.workspace("jacob-solawetz").project("microsoft-coco")
meter_model = project.version(12).model

results = meter_model.predict("meter.jpg").json()
meters = sv.Detections.from_roboflow(results)

# print number of meters
print(len(meters))

How to Count Meters in a Zone

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

The following code snippet counts the number of meter 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.

import numpy as np
import supervision as sv
import roboflow

SOURCE_VIDEO_PATH = "meter.mp4"
TARGET_VIDEO_PATH = "meter_out.mp4"

# use https://roboflow.github.io/polygonzone/ to get the points for your shape
polygon = np.array([
    # draw 50x50 box in top left corner
    [0, 0],
    [50, 0],
    [50, 50],
    [0, 50]
])

# create VideoInfo instance
video_info = sv.VideoInfo.from_video_path(SOURCE_VIDEO_PATH)

# create frame generator

How to Track Meters Crossing a Line

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

The following code snippet counts the number of meters 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.

import numpy as np
import supervision as sv
import roboflow

SOURCE_VIDEO_PATH = "meter.mp4"
TARGET_VIDEO_PATH = "meter_out.mp4"

# use https://roboflow.github.io/polygonzone/ to get the points for your line
LINE_START = sv.Point(0, 300)
LINE_END = sv.Point(800, 300)

roboflow.login()

# replace with the meter project you choose above

# create BYTETracker instance
meter_tracker = sv.ByteTrack(track_thresh=0.25, track_buffer=30, match_thresh=0.8, frame_rate=30)

# create VideoInfo instance
video_info = sv.VideoInfo.from_video_path(SOURCE_VIDEO_PATH)

# create frame generator
generator = sv.get_video_frames_generator(SOURCE_VIDEO_PATH)

# create LineZone instance, it is previously called LineCounter class
line_zone = sv.LineZone(start=LINE_START, end=LINE_END)

# create instance of BoxAnnotator
box_annotator = sv.BoxAnnotator(thickness=4, text_thickness=4, text_scale=2)

# create instance of TraceAnnotator
trace_annotator = sv.TraceAnnotator(thickness=4, trace_length=50)

    # model prediction on single frame and conversion to supervision Detections
    results = meter_model.predict(frame).json()
    meters = sv.Detections.from_roboflow(results)

    # show meter detections in real time
    print(meters)

    # tracking meter detections
    meters = meter_tracker.update_with_detections(meters)
    annotated_frame = trace_annotator.annotate(
        scene=frame.copy(),
        detections=meters
    )
    annotated_frame=box_annotator.annotate(
        scene=annotated_frame,

    )

    # update line counter
    line_zone.trigger(meters)
