Count Objects Crossing Lines with Computer Vision

In this guide by James Gallagher, readers are introduced to Roboflow Workflows, a web-based computer vision application builder that allows users to develop complex applications by integrating various blocks like detection and segmentation models, object tracking, and line counters. The tutorial specifically walks through creating an application to count cars crossing a line in a video using the Roboflow platform. It begins with setting up a Workflow, adding a video input, and configuring a car detection model, followed by implementing object tracking and a line counter to monitor vehicle crossings. Visualization tools are also incorporated to display results, and the guide concludes with instructions on testing the Workflow using Roboflow's Inference software on personal hardware. This practical approach to using Roboflow Workflows illustrates the platform's capability to handle real-time object tracking and counting applications.
