Hi all, I have just managed to get hold of one of the elusive Coral.ai Tensorflow edge units and connect it to my Openplotter Pi 4. I am thinking that if I train it to recognise navigation buoys, Marks and lights as well as recognise yachts, boats and other floating objects than a camera mounted at the bow could keep an extra eye out for collision hazards and navigational marks. Has anyone tried this?
I see three challenges, First collecting the training data that probably just means a lot of sailing and photographing.![[Image: smile.png]](https://forum.openmarine.net/images/smilies/smile.png)
Second estimating / calculating distance to detected objects I am not sure of the simplest way to do this so if anyone has any ideas I would be pleased to learn of them. Third, getting the object information into a real-time map overlay.
Thanks all
