Want to turn your NVIDIA Jetson Nano into a web-connected smart camera? This video shows how to set up MaskCam, a mask detection camera implemented with NVIDIA Deepstream, YOLOv4-tiny, and TensorRT, on your own Jetson Nano. It also shows how to set up a local Docker server on your computer that can be used to remotely interact with the Nano and view detection statistics. I worked on this project with BDTI, a technology analysis firm in the Bay Area. The project can serve as a reference design for other connected smart camera applications. It also gives a good example of how to use Docker containers for setting up web databases and using MQTT to communicate detection data. --- Links --- MaskCam Part 1 video, which gives an overview of the hardware and software behind this camera: https://youtu.be/W7SxGhJp8CA GitHub repository: https://github.com/bdtinc/maskcam Link to NVIDIA GTC 2021 conference talk about MaskCam (you need to register to see the talk, but it's free and available on-demand): https://gtc21.event.nvidia.com/media/t/1_etsb5xdn/204677953 MaskCam informational report by BDTI: https://bdti.com/maskcam Link on how to use barrel jack power supply input: https://www.jetsonhacks.com/2019/04/10/jetson-nano-use-more-power/ Amazon Associate link to Jetson Nano: https://amzn.to/3gRTkDc Amazon Associate link to 5V, 4A power supply: https://amzn.to/3t6KP9C --- Music --- Morning Station by Tokyo Music Walker https://soundcloud.com/user-356546060​ Creative Commons — Attribution 3.0 Unported — CC BY 3.0

MaskCam is a really cool project I worked on to evaluate the NVIDIA Jetson Nano's capability for deploying machine learning models on edge devices. It's a connected, machine learning-enabled smart camera that counts the number of masked and unmasked faces in an area and sends the statistics to a remote web server. This video gives a demonstration of MaskCam in action. My colleague and I will be showing this video and talking more about the project at the NVIDIA GTC conference next week. We'll also be presenting it at the Embedded Vision Summit in May. To learn more about MaskCam, please see the links below!

TensorFlow Lite is a framework for running lightweight machine learning models, and it's perfect for low-power devices like the Raspberry Pi! This video shows how to set up TensorFlow Lite on the Raspberry Pi for running object detection models to locate and identify objects in real-time webcam feeds, videos, or images. I used a Raspberry Pi 4 4GB for this video, but it also works with the Raspberry Pi 3.

Have you wondered how much faster the Raspberry Pi 4 performs than the Raspberry Pi 3 at running computationally intensive TesnorFlow object detection models? This video gives a performance comparison between the Pi 3B+ and the Pi 4 4GB, showing what framerate is achieved when running TensorFlow and TensorFlow Lite SSD-MobileNet detection models. It also shows how much faster the models run when using Google's Coral USB Accelerator. This is the first video in a larger series of TensorFlow Lite videos I'm working on. The series will show how to train your own TensorFlow Lite models and run them on the Raspberry Pi, Android devices, and more. Stay tuned!

This quick video shows how to install the CanaKit heatsinks on the Raspberry Pi 4. It also gives a brief comparison of thermal performance with and without the heatsinks installed. The CanaKit Raspberry Pi 4 kits don't provide information on where to put the heatsinks. I couldn't easily find the info elsewhere online, so I made this video to give clear instructions on where the heatsinks should be placed.

RAIN MAN 2.0 is a card counting AI that's destined to be the ultimate blackjack player! Created using machine learning and Python, RAIN MAN 2.0 can easily count his way through a deck of playing cards. To identify cards, he uses a YOLO v3 detection model trained on 50,000 synthetically generated images. This video explains how he works and what I plan to do with him. It's the first video in a series of videos that I will be posting as I build out his functionality. --- Affiliate Links --- If you haven't seen the movie Rain Man, you need to watch it!! https://amzn.to/2XL7bit Logitech C920 1080p webcam used by RAIN MAN 2.0: https://amzn.to/2WULb7B Twitter: https://twitter.com/EdjeElectronics RAIN MAN 2.0 project page on Hackaday: https://hackaday.io/project/27639-rain-man-20-blackjack-robot --- Links mentioned in video --- geaxgx1's playing card detection video: https://youtu.be/pnntrewH0xg Wizard of Odds website, great source of blackjack information and strategy: https://wizardofodds.com/games/blackjack/card-counting/high-low/ --- Music --- Summer Coffee by Barradeen: https://soundcloud.com/barradeen/summer-coffee Hidden camera blackjack footage taken from Blackjack Army YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/Ri2dS3GkzH0
