class ultralytics.solutions.object_counter.ObjectCounter
ObjectCounter(self, **kwargs: Any) -> None
Bases: BaseSolution
A class to manage the counting of objects in a real-time video stream based on their tracks.
This class extends the BaseSolution class and provides functionality for counting objects moving in and out of a specified region in a video stream. It supports both polygonal and linear regions for counting.
Args
| Name | Type | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
**kwargs | Any | required |
Attributes
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
in_count | int | Counter for objects moving inward. |
out_count | int | Counter for objects moving outward. |
counted_ids | list[int] | List of IDs of objects that have been counted. |
classwise_counts | dict[str, dict[str, int]] | Dictionary for counts, categorized by object class. |
region_initialized | bool | Flag indicating whether the counting region has been initialized. |
show_in | bool | Flag to control display of inward count. |
show_out | bool | Flag to control display of outward count. |
margin | int | Margin for background rectangle size to display counts properly. |
Methods
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
count_objects | Count objects within a polygonal or linear region based on their tracks. |
display_counts | Display object counts on the input image or frame. |
process | Process input data (frames or object tracks) and update object counts. |
Examples
>>> counter = ObjectCounter()
>>> frame = cv2.imread("frame.jpg")
>>> results = counter.process(frame)
>>> print(f"Inward count: {counter.in_count}, Outward count: {counter.out_count}")
