Is it a grizzly bear or a fire hydrant? Is it a truck or a watermelon? Is it a banana or a dog? If you’re implementing edge AI on your own computer vision product and your device appears to be gaslighting you, the data your object detection model was trained on may be an issue. In our latest blog post, electronics designer Kevin McGrath shares how MistyWest used the Edge Impulse platform to fine-tune an object detection model using our off-the-shelf edge AI device #MistySOM – and how our retrained model outperformed the general model when it was put to the test. #TransferLearning #EdgeAI #ObjectDetectionModel #ComputerVision
