I’m not versed in this field so curious, in that real life application, why not just use the computer you’re broadcasting from to run the camera switching client and ML inference. Does the USB accelerator do something that a standard desktop can’t?

Real-world use cases wouldn’t typically have a powerful computer broadcasting video. Rather, this board would be used at the edge to drive a camera and offer on-device, low-power inference.

Useful for robotics/drones, surveillance cameras, vehicles, consumer devices etc.

I put it on my Raspberry Pi 4 with some mobile-resnet version (88 objects) to do real time object detection from a Pi camera. It's quite a small package.
The accelerator is much slower than just running on the host PC... an RTX 3070 has 81TOPs at FP16 and 162TOPs at INT8 for example.

Doesn't the 3070 cost much more than a basic PC and the accelerator? Isn't this targets at those wanting to get their feet wet without vast outlay?
