FRC Vision Research Part 1b
It’s been a while. I know this isn’t AprilTag stuff, but the next blog post (coming soon) will be. This is kind of a personal project, but it’s related to vision. So I did more Coral stuff. I tried to reverse engineer and rewrite libedgetpu in Rust and actually learned quite a bit of possibly useful information, even if it feels like a waste of time in hindsight. The README explains why I’m doing this (pardon the tone):

FRC Vision Research Part 1
So I’ve been doing a lot of research and work on vision stuff. This is going to be a multi-part series, because there’s a LOT to cover. Edge TPU So what is an “edge TPU”? A made-up thing called a “tensor processing unit”. It’s really just an ASIC1 designed by Google for fast, efficient machine learning in embedded environments. It’s great for FRC, because it’s a relatively low-cost, easy way to do tons of cool ML stuff off of a Pi.
