Well, it's been a while since we revisited this hey? I was watching the comments on the other vids and it was eating me up. "NICK FIX THESE DAMN ERRORS". So...i took it one step further and just built my own Sign Language Detection model from scratch, literally the whole library doesn't rely on any other deep learning libraries apart from PyTorch.
This was a labour of love but you guys gave me so much of your trust that I want to repay the favour. I wouldn't be here without you guys and I truly, deeply appreciate it. So....I give you NODDY v1.
It's a full end to end DETR object detection pipeline, in this video its fine tuned for detecting signs but it could definitely be repurposed for other object detection tasks. It covers:
⚡️ Detections using my pre-trained transformer
💾 Collecting custom data for you to train your own
🏋🏽♀️ Fine tuning, with or without pre-trained weights
📹 ANNNNNNND Real time detections...ay ay ayyyy
Okay I've been finishing the editing on this video for what feels like six hours now and I'm a little delirious so I'll leave it there. Enjoy guys, hope you like it, I'm going to McDonalds.
Love y'all. Happy coding!
