This Python program combines object detection and UART communication on an NVIDIA Jetson device. It uses the NVIDIA detectnet
model for object detection and communicates the detected object's name via UART.
Before using this program, ensure you have the following:
- An NVIDIA Jetson device (Jetson Nano, Jetson Xavier, etc.).
- A camera connected to your Jetson device.
- Python 3 installed on your Jetson.
- Required Python packages, which can be installed using
pip
:serial
for UART communicationcv2
(OpenCV) for video capturesubprocess
for running thedetectnet
commandthreading
for managing concurrent executionqueue
for passing data between threads
-
Clone or download this repository to your NVIDIA Jetson device.
-
Make sure your camera is connected and operational.
-
Execute the Python script with Python 3:
python3 object_detection_uart.py
