Summary

This chapter introduced the Jetson TX1 Development Board for deploying computer vision and deep learning applications on embedded platforms. It is a small credit card-sized module, which can be used for computationally intensive applications. It has a better performance per power dissipation value than the latest i7 processors. It can be used in many domains where computer vision and deep learning is used for performance improvement and embedded deployment. Nvidia provides a development kit that houses this module along with other peripherals, which can be used for rapid prototyping of all applications. Nvidia also provides an SDK called JetPack, which is a collection of many software packages, such as OpenCV, CUDA, and Visionworks. This chapter described the process of installing JetPack on a Jetson TX1 in detail. The next chapter will describe the process of using OpenCV...
