📋 Prerequisites

• Ubuntu 24.04 LTS or 24.10, Desktop edition (or Server edition with GUI installed).
• Docker
• Manage Docker as a non-root user
• Make (sudo apt install make)
• Intel hardware (CPU, iGPU, dGPU, NPU)
• Intel drivers
  • Lunar Lake iGPU
  • NPU

🚀 QuickStart

Clone the repo with the below command

git clone -b <release-or-tag> --single-branch https://github.com/intel-retail/automated-self-checkout

Replace with the version you want to clone (for example, v2.0.0).

git clone -b v2.0.0 --single-branch https://github.com/intel-retail/automated-self-checkout

NOTE:

By default the application runs by pulling the pre-built images. If you want to build the images locally and then run the application, set the flag:

REGISTRY=false

usage: make <command> REGISTRY=false (applicable for all commands like benchmark, benchmark-stream-density..)
Example: make run-demo REGISTRY=false

(If this is the first time, it will take some time to download videos, models, docker images and build images)

Step by step instructions:

1. Download the models using download_models/downloadModels.sh

   make download-models
   

2. Update github submodules

   make update-submodules
   

3. Download sample videos used by the performance tools

   make download-sample-videos
   

4. Start Automated Self Checkout using the Docker Compose file.

   make run-render-mode
   

• The above series of commands can be executed using only one command:

  make run-demo
  

stop containers:

make down

Run pipeline on iGPU

DEVICE_ENV=res/all-gpu.env make run-demo

make down

Run pipeline with classification model on iGPU

PIPELINE_SCRIPT=yolo11n_effnetb0.sh DEVICE_ENV=res/all-gpu.env make run-demo

Run pipeline after building local images

make run-demo REGISTRY=false

stop locally built conainers:

make down REGISTRY=false
