I explored the idea of running object detection on the microcontroller itself. I explored the following libraries –

  1. Tensorflow Lite
  2. ESP WHO
  3. Eloquent

Conclusion –

  1. I found the TensorFlow lite library extremely unstable. There are many bugs in the repo. I was not able to build a single example
  2. The framework is currently underdeveloped. Also, the documentation is still under development
  3. Eloquent libraries work as a wrapper around Tensorflow Lite. I found this library to be extremely reliable. I was able to build a simple pipeline using the library. The library can also convert sklearn models into C model files which can be used to program microcontrollers
