[![TensorFlow](https://img.shields.io/badge/framework-TensorFlow-orange)](https://www.tensorflow.org/)
[![Object Detection](https://img.shields.io/badge/task-Object%20Detection-blue)]()
[![Models](https://img.shields.io/badge/targets-80%20Objects-green)]()

**Celestial-Mini** is a compact, high-performance object detection model designed to recognize up to **80 distinct object classes**. Built with **TensorFlow**, it balances speed and accuracy for deployment in edge devices and real-time applications.

---

## 🚀 Key Features

- 🔍 Detects up to **80 different object categories**
- ⚡ Optimized for **real-time inference**
- 🧠 Built on a **lightweight backbone**
- 📦 TensorFlow SavedModel format for easy deployment
- 🧰 Compatible with TensorFlow Lite and TensorFlow.js

---

## 🧪 Intended Use

Celestial-Mini is designed for:

- Robotics and drones
- Smart home devices
- Augmented Reality (AR) systems
- Mobile applications
- Educational and prototyping environments

---

## 🏷 Object Classes

Includes detection support for the standard 80-class COCO-style object categories such as:

```
person, bicycle, car, motorcycle, airplane, bus, train, truck, boat, traffic light, ...
```

---

## 📦 How to Use

```python
import tensorflow as tf

# Load the model
model = tf.saved_model.load("path/to/celestial-mini")

# Run inference
detections = model(input_tensor)
```
