Software Setup
To get started with the NVIDIA 2GB Jetson Nano Developer Kit, you'll need to set up the software development environment. Follow these steps:
1. Install the JetPack SDK on your host machine (Windows, macOS, or Linux).
2. Flash the Jetson Nano module with the latest image using the SDK.
3. Connect to the Jetson Nano module using a serial console or SSH.
Code Examples
### Example 1: Object Detection using TensorFlow and OpenCV
In this example, we'll use TensorFlow and OpenCV to detect objects in real-time using the Jetson Nano's camera module.
Python Code
```python
import cv2
import tensorflow as tf
# Load the TensorFlow model
model = tf.keras.models.load_model('model.h5')
# Open the camera module
cap = cv2.VideoCapture(0)
while True:
# Capture a frame
ret, frame = cap.read()
if not ret:
break
# Preprocess the frame
frame = cv2.resize(frame, (224, 224))
frame = frame / 255.0
# Run the object detection model
outputs = model.predict(frame)
# Draw bounding boxes around detected objects
for i in range(outputs.shape[2]):
confidence = outputs[0, 0, i, 2]
if confidence > 0.5:
x, y, w, h = outputs[0, 0, i, 3:]
cv2.rectangle(frame, (x, y), (x + w, y + h), (0, 255, 0), 2)
# Display the output
cv2.imshow('Object Detection', frame)
if cv2.waitKey(1) & 0xFF == ord('q'):
break
cap.release()
cv2.destroyAllWindows()
```
This code assumes you have a TensorFlow model trained for object detection, and it uses OpenCV to capture and display the camera feed. The Jetson Nano's GPU accelerates the model's prediction and performs the object detection in real-time.
### Example 2: Image Classification using PyTorch and NVIDIA DALI
In this example, we'll use PyTorch and NVIDIA's DALI (Data Loading and Augmentation) library to classify images using a convolutional neural network (CNN) on the Jetson Nano.
Python Code
```python
import torch
import torchvision
import nvidia.dali as dali
# Load the PyTorch model
model = torchvision.models.resnet50(pretrained=True)
# Create a DALI pipeline for image loading and augmentation
pipeline = dali.pipeline.Pipeline(batch_size=1, num_threads=2, device_id=0)
pipeline.set_max_outputs(1)
pipeline.set_outputs([
dali.fn.read_file('images/'),
dali.fn.resize(256, 256),
dali.fn.normalize(mean=[0.485, 0.456, 0.406], std=[0.229, 0.224, 0.225])
])
# Create a PyTorch dataset and data loader
dataset = dali.DataSet(pipeline, ['image'])
data_loader = torch.utils.data.DataLoader(dataset, batch_size=1, shuffle=True)
# Run the image classification model
for batch in data_loader:
image = batch[0].to('cuda:0')
output = model(image)
_, predicted = torch.max(output, 1)
print(f'Predicted class: {predicted.item()}')
```
This code assumes you have a PyTorch model trained for image classification, and it uses DALI to load and preprocess the images on the Jetson Nano. The NVIDIA DALI library optimizes data loading and augmentation for the Jetson Nano's GPU, allowing for fast and efficient image classification.
These examples demonstrate the capabilities of the NVIDIA 2GB Jetson Nano Developer Kit for AI-powered applications in edge computing. The kit's compact size, low power consumption, and powerful NVIDIA GPU make it an ideal platform for developing and deploying AI models in IoT devices.
