Counting object on Conveyor using Raspberry Pi AI kit

Through various AI Vision projects by Cytron, we’ve received many inquiries about implementing object counting on conveyor belts, one of the most common industrial automation use cases.

To help makers and developers kickstart their projects, we’ve prepared a beginner-friendly code example with explanations, using the Hailo 8L  AI acceleratorand Raspberry Pi 5 to enable efficient Edge AI processing without relying on the cloud.

This sample code demonstrates real-time object detection with YOLO, combined with a simple tracking mechanism to ensure accurate, non-duplicated counting.
