What Is This?

epd_core is a ROS2 package that accelerates the training and deployment of Computer Vision (CV) models for industries. Unlike easy_perception_deployment, epd_core aims to integrate contemporary Detectron2 as well as restructure the vision processing workflow into more modular components for better debugging and higher performance.

Rather than provide a general tool kit for ROS 2 ready vision-processing, epd_core focuses on higher accuracy and performance of object detection and pose estimation.
