How To Run TensorFlow Lite on Raspberry Pi for Object Detection

TensorFlow Lite is a framework for running lightweight machine learning models, and it's perfect for low-power devices like the Raspberry Pi! This video shows how to set up TensorFlow Lite on the Raspberry Pi for running object detection models to locate and identify objects in real-time webcam feeds, videos, or images.
I used a Raspberry Pi 4 4GB for this video, but it also works with the Raspberry Pi 3. If you want to see how much faster the Pi 4 is than the Pi 3, check out my performance comparison video: • Raspberry Pi 3 vs Rasp...

[@EdjeElectronics]

Hey all! If you're using the Raspberry Pi OS Bullseye release (which is the latest version), there's a couple things you have to do to get it working with the Raspberry Pi Camera: 1. Make sure the OS is up-to-date by issuing "sudo apt update" and "sudo apt install" and then rebooting the Pi 2. Open a terminal, enter "sudo raspi-config", go to the "Interface Options" menu, then go to the "Legacy Camera" option and enable it. Then, reboot the Pi (again). 3. Run the TFLite_detection_webcam.py script as described in this video. Note: You only need to do these steps if you're using a Raspberry Pi Camera (HQ, v1, or v2). You don't need to do them if you're using a USB webcam. Also, you don't need to do them if you're using the Stretch or Buster OS releases.

[@michaelharris1370]

Great video. For those looking to do this and get a higher FPS rate try using the pi camera connection instead of USB. The actual connection on the board itself will use less power and will have lower latency plus it goes directly to the GPU which is what you want for object detection. I haven’t tested this with TF Lite but the results are dramatic when running OpenCV

[@crookedikon]

So excited. I've been looking for a light weight model to put onto a pi in a RC car - this guide was straight forward, you've put a lot of hardwork in getting everything done, and to see it in action is amazing. Looking for that next video about what will speed up the FPS! Thanks man!

Is this something that would benefit being on a cluster? One Pi for the camera, one Pi for the processing? I don't know anything about tensor flow or Pi clusters, just curious.

[@DieBastler1234]

Reading in a frame from a USB camera vs reading it in from another Pi isn't really a difference in performance. But other processing steps after the detection might be heavy enough to benefit from multiple Raspberries.

[@EdjeElectronics]

Good question! No, I don't think a cluster would help for this. The main chunk of processing occurs when passing the image through the neural network to find the detected objects, and there isn't any (easy) way to split that between multiple Pis. And couka is correct that using a separate Pi to handle the camera wouldn't really help. I already have the camera running in a separate thread to speed things up (see www.pyimagesearch.com/2015/12/28/increasing-raspberry-pi-fps-with-python-and-opencv/ )

Unfortunately, it doesn't work with a headless RPi connected over SSH. The "X server" error message occurs because it's trying to display an image to the screen, but there is no screen.

Hey im running the bullseye os on a raspberry pi 4 B. I can't seem to get across the problem regarding running the .sh script

[@domandrenog]

Same here

[@jonmoreland440]

I think that part of the problem is that there are new versions of the programs that are being downloaded in the .sh that haven't been updated and so aren't working/downloading correctly. But I can't figure out which ones they are to get the updated ones.
