YOLO TensorRT ROS2 Package

This ROS2 package provides an integration of YOLONAS with TensorRT for high-performance object detection. The package allows flexibility in specifying input topics and model names through launch parameters.

Quick Start

To quickly get started with the YOLO TensorRT ROS2 package, follow these steps:

1. Install prerequisites:

   Before using this package, ensure you have the following dependencies installed:

• ROS2 Humble
• TensorRT tensorrt==8.6.1.post1
• Pycuda pycuda==2024.1
• OpenCV
• PIL (Python Imaging Library)
• vision_msgs
• cv_bridge

pip install tensorrt==8.6.1.post1 --extra-index-url https://pypi.nvidia.com
pip install pycuda==2024.1
pip install opencv-python
pip install pillow
sudo apt-get install ros-humble-vision-msgs
sudo apt-get install ros-humble-cv-bridge

2. Clone the repository and install dependencies:

   cd ~/ros2_ws/src
   git clone https://github.com/djetshu/yolonas_trt_ros2.git
   cd ~/ros2_ws
   rosdep install --from-paths src --ignore-src -r -y

3. Build the package:

   colcon build --packages-select yolo_py

4. Source the workspace:

   source ~/ros2_ws/install/setup.bash

5. Download the TensorRT model and ROSBAG files from this link.

6. Move the YOLO NAS TRT model to the following directory:

   mv /path/to/downloaded/yolo_nas_m_flower.trt ~/ros2_ws/src/yolonas_trt_ros2/models/

7. Modify the class names to your custom classes' names in ros2_ws/src/yolonas_trt_ros2/yolo_py/dataset.py.

8. Launch the YOLO node with the custom model:

   ros2 launch yolo_py yolo_trt.launch.py input_topic:=/oak/rgb/image_raw model_name:=yolo_nas_m_flower.trt

Usage

To use this package, you need to launch the yolo_trt node. The package includes a launch file that allows you to specify the input topic and the model name.

Launch Parameters

• rviz_config: Path to the RViz config file. Default is set to the RViz config provided in the package.
• rviz_en: Enable or disable RViz. Default is true.
• input_topic: The input topic for YOLO. Default is /camera/image.
• model_name: The name of the YOLO model to use. Default is yolo_nas_m.trt.

Nodes

YOLO Node

This node subscribes to an image topic, processes the image with YOLO using TensorRT, and publishes the detection results.

• Subscribed Topics:

  • /image (sensor_msgs/Image): Input image topic.

• Published Topics:

  • /detection (vision_msgs/Detection2DArray): Detection results.
  • /detection_image (sensor_msgs/Image): Image with detection results.

Example Launch Commands

To launch the YOLO node:

ros2 launch yolo_py yolo_trt.launch.py input_topic:=/your_custom_topic model_name:=your_custom_model.trt
