Synopsis

The Raspberry Pi 5 is the perfect computer to experiment with the world of neural networks, artificial intelligence, and machine learning.

Coupled with the Raspberry Pi AI Kit, you can integrate local, high-performance, power-efficient inferencing into your projects. With the AI Kit, you can build complex AI vision applications, running in real time, with low latency and low power requirements.

This book shows you how to get up and running with pretrained models or models you train yourself. You'll learn how to work with models that can:

• Identify a variety of objects and highlight them for you
• Estimate the pose of a personal, animal, or robot
• Discern facial landmarks such as eyes, nose, and mouth
• Classify things based on their appearance

When you combine Raspberry Pi with artificial intelligence, it gives you the power to create all sorts of things: robots that can interact intelligently with their surroundings, games that use the physical world as a playing field, and home automation systems that adjust to the environment in real time. You're not limited by the pretrained models; with the Hailo Dataflow Compiler (DFC), you can fine-tune the kit for a variety of use cases. With this guide, you'll be up and running with your own Raspberry Pi-powered applications in no time!
