What is the minimum hardware required to run this is in real time?

[sw82]

Basically this is my question ;)

Will a Raspberry be sufficient to run this on in real-time?

Your Pi can run supervision, but the "real-time" part depends on your use case...

Hardware Performance Matrix

Platform	Real-Time Capable?	FPS Range	Verdict
Raspberry Pi 4 (CPU only)	No	0.5-2 FPS	Too slow for most use cases
Raspberry Pi + Coral TPU	Yes	15-30+ FPS	Sweet spot with optimization
Jetson Nano	Yes	10-25 FPS	Reliable low-cost GPU option
Desktop with GPU	Definitely	60+ FPS	Best choice for development

It definitely will run in your Pi, because it is just a python script

So all comes down to what your real-time use case is ...

Some of the below are my thought on some of the use cases ..

• Security monitoring 1-5 FPS is fine
• Interactive apps: Need 15+ FPS
• Robotics: 30+ FPS required

And it also depends on how complex your model is in terms of datasets and computation.
I once tried running a Object detection model using a ESP32 and it was barely functional in real time.

If you find a way to optimize it to get higher FPS in your PI, then most of the people would want to know the secrets !
