Blue Onyx is an object detection service that processes JPG images, identifies objects, and returns bounding boxes for the detected items. It is fully API-compatible with both Blue Iris and Agent DVR.
Blue Onyx is a streamlined refactor of [Blue Candle](https://github.com/xnorpx/blue-candle), with several key improvements and changes.
Key Differences Between Blue Candle and Blue Onyx:
- (Still) No Coral Support
- Intel and AMD GPU Support
- Custom Model Support: You can use your own trained models.
- Inference Backend: Switched from Candle to ONNX.
- Model Update: Replaced YOLOv8 with RT-DETRv2 (RT-DETR).
- DirectML on Windows: Uses DirectML instead of CUDA for easier builds and broader support.
- Benchmark Tool: Added a binary to run object detection outside of the service.
- Windows-Only Support: No Linux builds are available.
- Simpler Architecture: Improved design for ease of use.
- CLI Updates: Some command-line interface changes.
