Webcam Inference Tab¶
Use Webcam Inference for live camera-based pose workflows.
At a glance¶
| Best for | Typical output | Usually next |
|---|---|---|
| Live pose monitoring, pilot experiments, camera checks | Live overlays, optional recordings, optional live ROI metrics | Review, plugins, or later offline analysis |
Scope note¶
The webcam workflow is primarily pose-oriented.
If you are doing a detection-only workflow, the file-based Inference tab is usually the better starting point.
Main controls¶
| Area | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Model Artifact | Live model selection, including Model Registry |
| Webcam Index | Camera device selection |
| Mode | Predict vs track behavior |
| Thresholds | Confidence, IoU, image size, max detections |
| Save options | Annotated video, YOLO text, raw capture |
| ROI metrics | Live zone-aware summaries when enabled |
Typical live workflow¶
Select live pose model
-> Choose webcam device
-> Preview webcam
-> Start webcam inference
-> Monitor overlays and ROI metrics
-> Stop and review outputs
Good use cases¶
- quick live checks before a full recording session
- pilot experiments
- trigger-style monitoring with plugins such as Zone Counter
- real-time ROI-aware observation
Practical tips¶
- Use
trackmode when identity continuity matters. - Keep image size and device settings realistic for your hardware.
- Use the Zone Counter plugin when you need a live region-entry counter on top of the webcam workflow.
