Person Detection
Real-time person detection for images, video, and live streams

eyepop.person:latest
Model type
Pre-trained Model
Description
Detects people in images, recorded video, or live streams and returns structured bounding box coordinates with confidence scores. No training. No configuration. Just provide an image or stream and your API key.
This model is optimized for:
- Low latency inference
- High precision person localization
- Cloud or On-Prem deployment
- Edge-friendly real-time processing
Why This Model Exists
Most “person detection” workflows fail for one of two reasons:
- They require custom training and dataset prep.
- They are too slow for real-time applications.
This model removes both constraints. The goal is simple:
Give developers reliable person localization immediately, without ML overhead.
Bounding boxes are the atomic unit of many higher-order systems:
- Counting
- Tracking
- Behavior analysis
- Access control
- Safety monitoring
This model provides that atomic unit.

- Transit occupancy analysis
- Crosswalk monitoring
Why Bounding Boxes Matter
A bounding box is not just a rectangle. It gives you:
- Position
- Scale
- Motion vector (when tracked over time)
- Relative distance proxy (via pixel size)
- Region-of-interest cropping
If you know where a person is in pixel space, you can derive everything else with additional logic.
