The text explores the use of Raspberry Pi for object detection, addressing the challenges of limited data and hardware constraints. It explains the concept of object detection and its various applications, highlighting its efficiency in identifying and counting objects in images. The article outlines a workflow for building a deep learning model, which includes gathering training data, annotating images, and training on a GPU machine with a focus on quantization to fit models on small devices like Raspberry Pi. It discusses the use of YOLO for efficient object detection and mentions NanoNets, a cloud-based solution that simplifies the process by eliminating the need for manual annotation and expensive hardware. The text also provides guidance on setting up the Raspberry Pi for object detection, with links to GitHub repositories for further resources and code examples.
