Object detection requirements

The main purpose of this project is to build an embedded system that can detect objects. Object detection can be applied to a wide range of applications, from robotics through IoT devices such as person recognition for a smart doorbell. For this project, we are going to have two primary goals:

  • First, we want to be able to detect general objects that we could apply to a rover like a robot that is looking for objects in its path that would require it to change course.
  • Second, we want to create a second project that is able to recognize whether a person is present.

Hardware requirements

There are several different approaches that we could take for object detection that would cost anywhere from...
