How to Deploy YOLOv7 to a Jetson Nano

Ananth Vivekanand's blog post provides a detailed guide on deploying the YOLOv7 object detection model on a Jetson Nano, using Roboflow's platform for dataset management. The guide emphasizes using Roboflow Inference, an open-source project, to deploy models and recommends leveraging Roboflow's tools for collecting, annotating, and managing computer vision datasets, which are available for free to students and hobbyists. It includes instructions for training a YOLOv7 model using Google Colab, highlighting the benefits of the smaller yolov7-tiny architecture for faster performance on the Jetson Nano. The post also covers the necessary steps to install dependencies and prepare the Jetson Nano for running YOLOv7 with CUDA acceleration, along with troubleshooting common issues and suggestions for further customizations and applications, such as instance segmentation.
