YOLOv8-Seg

Environment Setup​

info

Follow RKNN Installation to set up the environment.

Follow RKNN Model Zoo to download the example files.

Model Download​

Download the ONNX model file.

X64 Linux PC
cd rknn_model_zoo/examples/yolov8_seg/model/
bash download_model.sh

Model Conversion​

Select the target platform.

X64 Linux PC
export TARGET_PLATFORM=rk3588

Convert the ONNX model to an RKNN model.

X64 Linux PC
cd ../python/
python convert.py ../model/yolov8s-seg.onnx ${TARGET_PLATFORM}

C API​

Build the Example​

Go to the rknn_model_zoo directory and run build-linux.sh to build.

X64 Linux PC
cd ../../..
bash build-linux.sh -t ${TARGET_PLATFORM} -a aarch64 -d yolov8_seg

Sync Files to the Device​

Copy the built demo directory under the install folder to the device.

X64 Linux PC
cd install/${TARGET_PLATFORM}_linux_aarch64/
scp -r rknn_yolov8_seg_demo/ user@your_device_ip:target_directory

Run the Example​

Export the runtime libraries to the environment variable.

Device
cd rknn_yolov8_seg_demo/
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=./lib

Run the example.
