Raspberry Pi for Computer Vision

Brandon

Hi everyone!

So as you all know (or by now should know), we're HUGE fans of PyImageSearch over here at Luxonis. Well, who isn't a huge fan of PyImageSearch?!

I personally spun up on a ton of the computer vision and AI techniques I know now from PyImageSearch, and so did a ton of folks from other companies who we're working with. And, we continually reference his tutorials as starting points for solving problems.

Along those lines, I wanted to point out one of his latest books:
https://www.pyimagesearch.com/raspberry-pi-for-computer-vision/

We backed the Kickstarter for this, and like all PyImageSearch's work, it's FANTASTIC!

Why do we like it so much? Well, because it's a great reference and hands-on for everything you'd want to do on a Pi for computer vision, artificial intelligence, and machine learning.

But what's even better (for us), is that DepthAI for Raspberry Pi will be able to use all of these tutorials, with only basic modifications. So it serves as a basis for a whole slew of applications for DepthAI in addition to the Raspberry Pi.

So if you haven't bought this book yet, I highly recommend you do. You won't regret it.

Hi...Computer vision is a method of image processing and recognition that is especially useful when applied to Raspberry Pi. You could produce your IoT with computer vision components, to secure your home, to monitor beer in your fridge, to watch your kids. Once you have an initial setup, the possibilities are endless!

For sure!

Or you can automatically pick Strawberries... and actually a DepthAI user has made a robot to do so (see here).

Or you can make a robot that organically removes pests (instead of using chemicals, it uses lasers). There's all sorts of applications, particularly when the solution can be embedded (like DepthAI can) and is open source (like DepthAI is, both hardware and software and training).
