Monk - A computer vision toolkit for everyone

Monk Object Detection - A low code wrapper over state-of-the-art deep learning algorithms

Why use Monk

• Issue: Abudance of algorithms and difficult to find a working code

  • Solution: All your state-of-the-art as well as old algorithms in one place

• Issue: Installaing different deep learning pipelines is an error-prone task

  • Solution: Single line installations with monk

• Issue: Setting up different algorithms for your custom data requires a lot of effort in changing the existing codes

  • Solution: Easily ingest your custom data for training in COCO, VOC, or Yolo formats

• Issue: Difficulty to trace out which hyperparameters to change for tuning the algorithm

  • Solution: Set your hyper-parameters with a common structure for every algorithm

• Issue: Deployment requires knowledge of base libraries and codes

  • Solution: Easily deploy your models using Monk's low code-syntax

• Issue: Looking for hands-on tutorials for computer vision

  • Solution: Use monk's application building tutorial set

Important Elements

• A) Training Engine

  • Train models on custom dataset witjh low code syntax
  • Pretrained examples on variety of datasets
  • Useful to train your own detector

• B) Inference Engine

  • Original pretrained models (from original authors and implementations) for inferencing and analysing
  • Pretrained models on coco, voc, cityscpaes, type datasets
  • Useful to analyse which algoeithm works best for you
  • Useful to generate semi-accurate annotations (coco, pascal-voc, yolo formats) on a new dataset
