🌟 Summary

Introducing API support for model inference in the YOLOv5 repository.

📊 Key Changes

• Added an API endpoint (/detect) for running model inference.
• Included a detect_api.py script to launch a Flask server for the API.
• Provided a client.py utility and equivalent cURL command for sending requests to the API.
• Integrated configuration through api_data.json for easy API parameter adjustments.

🎯 Purpose & Impact

• Purpose: To enable users to perform inference using a REST API, facilitating easier integration into applications and services.
• Impact: Developers can now automate and scale the YOLOv5 inference process in production environments, and non-technical users can interact with the model without deep knowledge of the underlying system. 🚀
