Abstract

We are currently seeing an increasing interest in using machine learning and image recognition methods to support routine human-made processes in various application domains. In the paper, the results of the conducted research on supporting the sewage network inspection process with the use of machine learning on embedded devices are presented. We analyze several image recognition algorithms on real-world data, and then we discuss the possibility of running these methods on embedded hardware accelerators.
