Getting started with TI Jacinto 7 Edge AI/Demos/Detection

Run the Detection app

Requirements

A connected USB camera to the Jacinto board.

Run the object detection demo example

Select the right camera device:

To select the camera device corresponding to the USC camera or CSI camera being used, run the following command:

ls -l /dev/v4l/by-path/

The above command will output something like the following:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Jun  1 19:28 platform-xhci-hcd.2.auto-usb-0:1.2:1.0-video-index0 -> ../../video0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Jun  1 19:28 platform-xhci-hcd.2.auto-usb-0:1.2:1.0-video-index1 -> ../../video1

In this case, a symbolic link to /dev/video1 is created for the USB camera driver (try both symbolic links if one does not work).

Run the demo:

/opt/edge_ai_apps/apps_cpp/bin/Release/app_object_detection \
--device /dev/video1 \
-m /opt/edge_ai_apps/models/detection/TFL-OD-200-ssd-mobV1-coco-mlperf-300x300 \
-o output/obj_detection_%d.jpg

The help will show you the flags options
