Deploying Deep Learning

Welcome to our instructional guide for inference and realtime DNN vision library for NVIDIA Jetson Nano/TX1/TX2/Xavier NX/AGX Xavier.

This repo uses NVIDIA TensorRT for efficiently deploying neural networks onto the embedded Jetson platform, improving performance and power efficiency using graph optimizations, kernel fusion, and FP16/INT8 precision.

Vision primitives, such as imageNet for image recognition, detectNet for object detection, segNet for semantic segmentation, and poseNet for pose estimation inherit from the shared tensorNet object. Examples are provided for streaming from live camera feed and processing images. See the API Reference section for detailed reference documentation of the C++ and Python libraries.

Follow the Hello AI World tutorial for running inference and transfer learning onboard your Jetson, including collecting your own datasets and training your own models. It covers image classification, object detection, semantic segmentation, pose estimation, and mono depth.

Hello AI World

Hello AI World can be run completely onboard your Jetson, including inferencing with TensorRT and transfer learning with PyTorch. The inference portion of Hello AI World - which includes coding your own image classification and object detection applications for Python or C++, and live camera demos - can be run on your Jetson in roughly two hours or less, while transfer learning is best left to leave running overnight.

The Transfer Learning with PyTorch section of the tutorial speaks from the perspective of running PyTorch onboard Jetson for training DNNs, however the same PyTorch code can be used on a PC, server, or cloud instance with an NVIDIA discrete GPU for faster training.

Extra Resources

In this area, links and resources for deep learning are listed:

Two Days to a Demo (DIGITS)

note: the DIGITS/Caffe tutorial from below is deprecated. It's recommended to follow the Transfer Learning with PyTorch tutorial from Hello AI World.

Expand this section to see original DIGITS tutorial (deprecated)
The DIGITS tutorial includes training DNN's in the cloud or PC, and inference on the Jetson with TensorRT, and can take roughly two days or more depending on system setup, downloading the datasets, and the training speed of your GPU.
