Summer project

Artificial Intelligence Specialization · Cohort 2025

CamelFree: A Standalone Edge Camera for Camel-Free Safe Roads

Summary: If the students are interested in pursuing this project, I will lend them a Raspberry pi along with its camera. The camera will feed the image into the edge device in real-time to run it through an Object Detection (OD) DNN model. Students can interactively show their system during posters session. Applications: security survielance cameras (intruders detection), real-time people faces recognizer, industry safety systems… etc. Proof-of-concept: Preliminary system was tested and real-time detection was observed. Yolo model was ran on a raspberry pi 4 and results were displayed on screen. Extensions students can do: Students will get the system on and running as a first stage. Next stages may include using compressed models to have smaller computation latency, simulate an edge compute paradigm where they will simulate the performance across the communication hierarchy.
