Object Detection Yolov8 Support

I'm trying to replace the ssd_mobilenet_v2_coco object detection model with my YOLOv8 model on the AMR. I have already modified the paths and related files (xml, label, bin). But when running the object detection docker, the model path did not change. The error shows as below:

I tried to search the "ssd_mobilenet_v2" in the folder and the result is:

$ grep -r -n ssd_mobilenet workspace
Binary file workspace/object_detection/src/prebuilt_object_detection/object_detection/bin/object_detection_node matches
Binary file workspace/object_detection/src/prebuilt_object_detection/object_detection

I can find the model_path in the two files:

How can I compile my own Yolov8 model and update the model path?

intel / ros2_openvino_toolkit
