File Name: detector.py File Description: Defines the interface of the Detector module of the drone_core library.
- class detector.Detection(class_id: str, score: float, bbox: tuple)¶
Represents a single object detection result.
- class_id¶
The label or numeric ID of the detected object.
- score¶
Confidence score between 0.0 and 1.0.
- bbox¶
Bounding box as (center_x, center_y, width, height) in pixels.
- class detector.Detector¶
Provides access to onboard ML object detection via the Coral EdgeTPU.
- abstractmethod get_detections() List[Detection]¶
Returns the latest list of object detections from the EdgeTPU.
- Returns:
A list of Detection objects, each containing a class_id, score, and bounding box in pixel coordinates. Empty list if no detections or the EdgeTPU node is not running.
Example:
detections = uav.detector.get_detections() for det in detections: print(f"Found {det.class_id} at ({det.bbox[0]}, {det.bbox[1]})")
