Abstract:
This paper presents several models for individual object detection with TensorFlow in a 2D image with Convolution Neural Networks (ConvNet). Here, we focus on an approach for hardware with limited resources in the field of the Internet of Things (IoT). Additionally, our selected models are trained and evaluated using image data from a Unity 3D simulator as well as real data from model making area. In the beginning, related work of this paper is discussed. As well known, a large amount of annotated training data for supervised learning of ConvNet is required. These annotated training data are automatically generated with the Unity 3D environment. The procedure for generating annotated training data is also presented in this paper. Furthermore, the different object detection models are compared to find a better and faster system for object detection on hardware with limited resources for low-power IoT devices. Through the experiments described in this paper the comparison of the run ti
me of the trained models is presented. Also, a transfer learning approach in object detection is carried out in this paper. Finally, future research and work in this area are discussed.
