Infrastructure assessment: Live recognition of traffic/car density and detection of dents, potholes, irregularities with IMU
Prototype stage of gathering infrastructure data like traffic density or road quality indications from an IMU. Potentially will be integrated in some research projects of evaluating live car data with additional sensors.
Implemented with a RPi and touch screen. Data is saved live with dm-accurate GPS data to be mapped in GIS applications.
Tradeshow model: Automatic stockpile detection and volume computation
We have built a showcase to give a hands-on experience for our industry and construction customers to play with gravel and sand and have the computer automatically detect stockpiles, compute area/volume and speak the results out loud.
We are offering a similar service on large scale with drone flights -> UAV data acquisition, processing, offering data on a platform, automatically detect stockpiles in data and compute volumes in 3D point cloud data.
Hi Harold,
I'm by far not an expert and just a beginner user with the OAK-D-Lite.
But here's the FAQ from Kickstarter:
Can OAK-D-Lite be powered off of USB3?
Yes. USB3 devices can provide 900mA at 5V, which is enough for most use-cases. However, some functions (e.g., inference, video encoding) can add to large current spikes, so there’s a chance your host won’t be able to provide enough power (this applies mostly to hosts like RPi). In that case, you would need to use a power adapter.
And from my own experience (running OAK-D-Lite) with a Raspberry Pi:
I have the power connector (USB-C splitter, one cable for power, one for connection with USB3.0 cable to Raspberry Pi). I haven't tried yet to have it work on the RPi without the USB splitter, so not sure for which edge cases it works (or does not work).
