[tool] [tutorial] Free AI Person Detection for Blue Iris

Looks like I can't use Docker. I am using Win10 Home. I need to upgrade to pro someday. I am wondering if using Win10 Home is part of the problem too.

I have Windows 10 Home - I run deepstack in a docker container on an Ubuntu VM. Performance is still better than the Windows version of Deepstack, which ground my machine to a halt after running for a few days. maybe mem leaks.
 
Hi, do you have a github link for you project? I'm software engineer, i would really like to contribute and add the face detection! ;)

I'm planning to make this open source with the next version which btw is coming in the next days :D. Regarding the face detection and especially the face recognition feature that DQAI can provide I must say that I tested them with CCTV images and was not satisfied, but that might have changed since I did the testing.

Excellent news! I would be happy to contribute as well! I would like to see MQTT integration and the ability to report direction of movement. I was very happy when I ran across this application as I was getting ready to sit down and start creating something similar from scratch. Thanks!
 
update v1.62
I spent a lot of time to implement the following features and to ensure that the latest AiTool release runs reliably:
  • Quickly browse the alert history by filtering which entries are shown (specific camera, only relevant alerts, only irrelevant alerts).
  • Set optional confidence limits so that an alert is only triggered if p.e. AiTool is more than 80% sure.
  • If only irrelevant objects were detected in an image, the History tab now actually shows what was detected, where and how certain AiTool is. Irrelevant detections get a gray rectangle, relevant detections a red one.
  • The cooldown now can be a decimal digit, so p.e. "1.5" gives you 1:30 minutes of cooldown time.
  • Added a detection Timeline in the Stats tab. Give it a few days to be filled with data and you can use it as a reference to optimize your inputting motion detection etc.
  • Below the Timeline is a chart that shown how often AiTool is how confident about it's detections. The green line shows the relevant detections and the yellow line the irrelevant detections.
  • Errors and warning now will automatically be sent to your Telegram account if you added one.
  • optimized Log
  • Alot of under the hood work that enhances speed and stability (hopefully for everyone :D)
 
raced to download the latest (1.62), replaced everything but the camera folder, but when I run aitool.exe nothing happens. Anyone else?
 
Not sure this will do it for you but it looks like the history .csv file lives in the camera folder now. Maybe try copying in from the 1.62 zip.
 
Drat. It does work but I'm seeing a Windows error when launching which for me seems cosmetic as it still works after I dismiss the message. I sent a note to GentlePumpkin already as I'm sure he can track it down but it may not be the same as your issue given you don't see it working at all.
 
clean install doesn't work either. double clicking the exe just results in a quick blue circle spin and then nothing. no processes running.
 
Have you checked anti virus settings? (My AVG always checks the file online for a while before opening it with every update).

Possibly try deleting the history.csv file (keep a copy) or have a look at the history file in explorer (don't open it) as you start the software and see if its size keeps changing between xxxKb and 0. If the size is changing try deleting it and let the software generate a new one.
