Description
Update 2019-12-30: The Raspberry Pi 4B includes USB 3.0 capability. The total time it takes to transfer an image, perform inference, and obtain results is much faster. Be sure to refer to Chapter 23.2 “Benchmarking and Profiling your Scripts” inside Raspberry Pi for Computer Vision to learn how to benchmark your deep learning scripts on the Raspberry Pi. You won’t need to build models from the ground up either. TensorFlow Lite models can be compiled to run seamlessly on the Edge TPU. Note: this is NOT the TensorFlow Lite API, but an alternative API intended for users who have not used TensorFlow before and simply want to start with image classification and object detection Update 2019-12-30: Installation steps 1-6 have been completely refactored and updated to align with Google’s recommended instructions for installing Coral’s EdgeTPU runtime library. My main contribution is the addition of Python virtual environments. I’ve also updated the section on how to run the example scripts. Step #1: Installing the Coral EdgeTPU Runtime and Python API
you can instead flash your SD card with the AIY Maker Kit system image, which includes everything you need to useA very good explanation of neural networks, what they are exactly and why you read about them so often in connection with machine learning, can be found in the following video: After the installation, you can connect the USB Accelerator to the Raspberry Pi (preferably to a blue USB 3.0 port). If it was already connected before the installation, remove it briefly and connect it again. Now connect the USB Accelerator to your computer using the provided USB 3.0 cable. If you already had it plugged in while installing, remove it and replug it so the newly-installed udev rule can take effect. 2: Install the PyCoral Library Inference speed is 45ms with the coral but Im hoping thats just because its a USB 2.0 port on my dev environment… Last year at the Google Next conference, Google announced that they are building two new hardware products around their Edge TPUs. Their purpose is to allow edge devices like the Raspberry Pi or other microcontrollers to exploit the power of artificial intelligence applications such as image classification and object detection by enabling them to run inference of pre-trained Tensorflow Lite models locally on their own hardware. This is not only more secure than having a cloud server that serves machine-learning requests, but it also can reduce latency quite a bit. The Coral USB Accelerator
A few weeks ago, Google released “Coral”, a super fast, “no internet required” development board and USB accelerator that enables deep learning practitioners to deploy their models “on the edge” and “closer to the data”. In the next step, we load the pre-trained models. You can also use your own trained models instead. In our simple example, however, we load only the MobileNet SSD300 model, which can already recognize many objects. cd examples-camera The installation script will ask you whether you want to enable the maximum operating frequency. As mentioned above, I'd recommend only using the maximum operating frequency if really necessary.
Coral USB Accelerator
The NCS2 is designed to allow several to be used together for expanded processing power. You can arrange them neatly in a vertical USB hub. A single host computer can also run several CTAs , though you may have to find another way to hold each one. On that note, while each have a similar footprint, the NCS2 is close to twice as wide (14mm) as the CTA. Combined with the fact that it plugs in via a USB plug like a very large thumb drive — not through a flexible cable like the CTA — means that you'll have a hard time fitting the NCS2 into a lot of spaces. You can always opt for extension cables and hubs, but it's something to consider. If you’re interested in learning how to train your own custom models for Google’s Coral I would recommend you take a look at my upcoming book, Raspberry Pi for Computer Vision(Complete Bundle) where I’ll be covering the Google Coral in detail. How do I use Google Coral’s Python runtime library in my own custom scripts? So far I have caught 1 night walker with this setup. The below happened at 2 am but with the hikvision it almost looks like daytime. The night-walker was detected just before he got close to the cars and immediately persuaded to take his shenanigans elsewhere.
This opens a new window with the video stream. In it, detected objects are marked with rectangles. You can also see the calculated probability (in percent) with which the object was detected (how likely it is to be this object, according to the algorithm). So let’s start with a sample project. Open the terminal again: mkdir google-coral && cd google-coral Applications that use machine learning usually require high computing power. The calculations usually take place on the GPU of the graphics card. The Raspberry Pi is not necessarily designed to run computationally intensive applications. The Google Coral USB Accelerator provides help here! With the help of this device, we can use real-time calculations such as object recognition in videos. The on-board Edge TPU coprocessor is capable of performing 4 trillion operations (tera-operations) per second (TOPS), using 0.5 watts for each TOPS (2 TOPS per watt). For example, it can execute state-of-the-art mobile vision models such as MobileNet v2 at almost 400 FPS, in a power efficient manner. See more performance benchmarks. Supports all major platforms because it simplifies the amount of code you must write to run an inference. But you can build yourIn home assistant, use the “generic camera” integration to view the low res stream directly in home assistant. eg for HikVision: As you can see, MobileNet (trained on iNat Birds) has correctly labeled the image as “Macaw”, a type of parrot.
