AI application examples

Application examples are provided within two flavors:

  • C/C++ application
  • Python application
Info.png Python applications are good for prototyping but are less efficient than C/C++ application
Warning.png Python scripts could take up to 30 seconds before displaying camera frames

C/C++ TensorFlowLite applications

This part provides information about the C/C++ applications examples based on TensorflowLite, Gstreamer and OpenCV.
The applications integrate a camera preview and test data picture that is then connected to the chosen TensorFlowLite model.
Two C/C++ application examples are available and are described below:

Image classification application

Description

The image classification[9] neural network model allows identification of the subject represented by an image. It classifies an image into various classes.

C/C++ image classification application

The label_tfl_gst_gtk C/C++ application (located in the userfs partition: /usr/local/demo-ai/ai-cv/bin/label_tfl_gst_gtk) is a C/C++ application application for image classification.
The application demonstrate a computer vision use case for image classification where frames are grabbed from a camera input (/dev/videox) and analyzed by a neural network model interpreted by TensorFlow Lite framework.
Gstreamer pipeline is used to stream camera frames (using v4l2src), to display a preview (using waylandsink) and to execute neural network inference (using appsink).
The result of the inference is displayed on the preview. The overlay is done using GTK widget with cairo.
This combination is quite simple and efficient in term of CPU consumption.
