What is a Vision Thing project and how do you use the BeagleBone AI to do one?

 

There's a lot of variety with how you choose to implement your project.  It's a great opportunity to do something creative that stretches the imagination of what hardware can do.  Your project can be either a vision based project involving anything that is related to Computer Vision and Machine Learning , Camera Vision and AI based projects, Deep Learning, using hardware.  Or, it can be a graphics project involving something graphical such as adding a graphical display to a microcontroller, image processing on a microcontroller, image recognition interface a camera to a microcontroller,  or FPGA - camera interfacing/image processing/graphical display.

 

What makes the Beaglebone AI suitable for Vision Thing  Projects?

 

BeagleBone AI is a high-end board for developers building artificial-intelligence and computer-vision applications. Its main AI features include a Texas Instruments (TI) AM5729 system on chip (SoC), TI C66x digital-signal-processor (DSP) cores and embedded-vision-engine (EVE) cores. The board has the same form-factor as the popular and cheap BeagleBone Black but with much higher specifications.

 

  • It features a completely open source design: https://github.com/beagleboard/beaglebone-ai

 

The AI-ready board comes with 1GB RAM and 16GB on-board eMMC flash with a high-speed interface, a USB Type-C port for power and a dual-role controller, and a USB Type-A host. There's also Gigabit Ethernet and Wi-Fi. With preinstalled software, the BeagleBone AI also saves buyers from having to download equipment to get the device up and running.

    Having more-or-less decided on something for the Vision Thing based on Arduino and possibly Processing as well, I have just seen this opportunity to use the BeagleBone AI. Being mostly used to using Arduino…

    A friend is heavily involved in canoe racing. Apparently the timing is a haphazard affair with people pressing stopwatches, writing down the number on the canoe, entering it into Excel, etc. It's fraught…

    Few years ago I saw attempt to use neural networks for image classification for computer aided diagnosis (CAD) e.g. initial check for the presence of *** cancer on images.

    I started around playing with Development Board just 1 year back and am also a new member to element14. I really love the community here I visit element14 and hackster.io community daily without fail. I just really love the quick responses which I get sometimes and also information about new Dev boards. I have been playing around with different dev boards from past 1 year (I know am really late).

    I recently got my very own first development board -> AVNET Azure Sphere MT3620 Starter Kit. (Brought for Rs.318 used a promo code)

    It was total FUN exploring the possibilities one of friends already owned a kit containing many sensors, wires some breadboards. (He never used them for past 2yrs) my luck I got my first board and then my friends kit.

    Another incidence I was just learning about Deep Learning programming with Python. I already knew Python but wasn't good with TensorFlow.

    Maybe I can use the BeagleBoard AI for one of my planned projects -> Smart Cycle Module!
    A single module (Which wont drive the cycle but collect from the cycle) capable enough to collect environment data and energy produced from cycling. Being an Indian Citizen Electric Vehicles and smart cycles cost a lot.  Even a geared cycle cost a lot.
    So what my Module does?
    -> First collect energy
    1) From small solar panels attached to the cycles body.
    2) From Piezoelectric plates attached securely just below the cycle tube.
    3) Dynamo's attached to both wheels.
    -> Collect Data
    1) Use AI to detect pot holes on road, take a picture and send them to a dedicated network of such Smart Cycle Modules. Which would warn other users about the roads with pot holes and a central computer would analyze the collected data and send reports to the public road repair services listed.
    2) Collect environment data to predict weather and road conditions like traffic.
    3) Collect Health data for personal use with other existing available health monitoring apps.
    -> Exchange data and energy for good.
    1) Use IOTA network for data and token exchange.
    2) Exchange collected energy for tokens which can be further used to recharge your other electric vehicles at IOTA charging points.
    3) Exchange data for more data about public transport.
    Being a junior software programmer security is one of my main goals while doing any sort of projects. So am already trying to create a dedicated protocol for these IoT services. Am not sure about the protocol development time.
    Current Status -> Creating some DL Models, learning about BeagleBoard AI Programming, And procrastinating (THINKING).
