Question

I Have a ASL YOLOV5 realtime detection model, everything is working perfectly until I decide to add the Best.pt file to my model to run it with the realtime detection file, I keep getting this error :NotImplementedError: cannot instantiate 'PosixPath' on your system

I need help please

It seems like you're facing a compatibility issue with PosixPath on your system. This can occur if your environment doesn't handle pathlib.Path objects correctly, which are used extensively in the model's I/O operations.

You can workaround this issue by explicitly converting Path objects to strings when loading the model. Here's a small modification in Python to use with your YOLO model:

from ultralytics import YOLO
import pathlib

# Load a model
model_path = pathlib.Path('best.pt').as_posix()  # Convert PosixPath to string
model = YOLO(model_path)  # Load using the string path

# Now proceed with your real-time detection tasks

This forces the path to be treated as a string, which should be compatible across different systems. Give this a try and see if it resolves your issue! 🚀
