Overview
The ultralytics_yolo package is a Flutter plugin that enables integration of Ultralytics YOLO (You Only Look Once) computer vision models into mobile applications. It allows developers to perform real-time object detection on Android and iOS devices using optimized, pre-trained YOLO models. The plugin leverages native performance for efficient inference, making it suitable for applications requiring fast and accurate image analysis. With support for both platforms, it simplifies deployment of advanced vision capabilities in Flutter apps.
