| Timeline | Feb 2025 to Mar 2025 |
| Organization | Benign Innovations |
| Focus | Keypoints Detection: Detect the Charging Station Keypoints and use PnP to locate it in 3D space |
| Stack | YOLOv11 |
Approach
- Trained a YOLOv11 keypoint model on a small manually labeled dataset.
- Used the consistent charging-station appearance to keep the model compact.
- Applied PnP on detected keypoints to estimate the 3D location.
- Deployed the model on edge devices.
Demonstration
