Lepton Thermal Camera for Object detection

Jetson Nano

I had a doubt regarding the thermal camera pipeline(i.e. voxl-lepton-server). Can the output from the thermal camera be used for object detection on the voxl-tflite-server instead of using the RGB Hires camera as usual.

I am using Lepton thermal camera on VOXL 2 compute.

Could you please share some updates on this?

@Jetson-Nano if you plan on using object detection in tflite server, then you can use yolov5 or yolov8 - I am unsure if you can pipe in that data into tflite with it working as that code base is meant to ingest generic raw and nv frames (RAW8/16 or NV12/21) so streaming in a different frame format might cause issue - if this doesnt fail and it works with the pipe, then it is up to you to train your own model based on the thermal camera feed.

@Zachary-Lowell-0 Thank you for your reply. I will test it out and let you of any developments.
