A Python application that performs real-time object recognition from a webcam or HLS video stream using TensorFlow's Object Detection API and OpenCV. It includes single-threaded and multithreaded variants and was built as a demo accompanying a Medium tutorial.

Use cases

• run real-time object detection on a webcam feed
• detect objects in an HLS video stream
• learn how to build an object recognition app with TensorFlow
• demo pre-trained TensorFlow object detection models
• process live video with OpenCV and deep learning

When to choose

• you want a simple, working demo of TensorFlow's Object Detection API with a webcam
• you are following the accompanying tutorial and want reference code
• you need a starting point for real-time video object detection in Python

When to avoid

• you need a maintained, production-ready detection pipeline
• you use modern TensorFlow 2.x or recent OpenCV versions, since this targets TensorFlow 1.2 and OpenCV 3.0
• you need training or fine-tuning workflows rather than inference demo
