Projects
Computer Pointer Controller
2020
Description
Demonstrates the ability to run multiple models on the OpenVINO toolkit on one edge device to control a computer pointer by staring at different locations on the screen. This project utilizes 4 different AI pretrained models to the face, facial landmarks, estimate the head position and also the gaze.
Here is the github repository for the project. Link
Use Cases
People Counter App at the Edge
2020
Description
This project involves first finding a useful person detection model and converting it to an Intermediate Representation for use with the Model Optimizer. Utilizing the OpenVINO Toolkit Inference Engine API and the person detection model to perform inference on an input video, and extract useful data concerning the count of people in the frame and how long they stay in the frame. Send this information over MQTT, as well as sending the output frame, in order to view it from a separate UI server over a network.

Use Cases
Smart Queuing System
2020
A system that can be used in three different scenarios that depict real-world problems based on different sectors where edge devices are typically deployed to manage queues. There are three scenarios that have been implemented in this project:
- Scenario 1: Manufacturing Sector
- Scenario 2: Retail Sector
- Scenario 3: Transportation Sector
