Raspberry Pi 3 vs Raspberry Pi 4 Performance with TensorFlow, TF Lite, & Coral USB Accelerator

Have you wondered how much faster the Raspberry Pi 4 performs than the Raspberry Pi 3 at running computationally intensive TesnorFlow object detection models? This video gives a performance comparison between the Pi 3B+ and the Pi 4 4GB, showing what framerate is achieved when running TensorFlow and TensorFlow Lite SSD-MobileNet detection models. It also shows how much faster the models run when using Google's Coral USB Accelerator.

This is the first video in a larger series of TensorFlow Lite videos I'm working on. The series will show how to train your own TensorFlow Lite models and run them on the Raspberry Pi, Android devices, and more. Stay tuned!

Does anyone else think it's crazy how fast the TensorFlow Lite model runs on the Pi 4 with the USB Accelerator? I was blown away when I saw it gets 34+ FPS on a live webcam feed. This is a game changer for real-time object detection! 👍👍👍

I thank you very much for the video, and I look forward to part two

Dude you’re badass! Thank you for the upload and look forward to your next video of the tf lite install on the rpi. Dope Blink-182 shirt by the way!

Wooo! Thank you so much, good sir! Looking forward to your upcoming vids.

Conspiracy theorists - "The government is tracking everything you do! They can now identify objects through software!"

Edje Electronics - "Oh yeah, I do that as well with a $99 Raspberry Pi"

That being said I Subscribed. Got the Pi3 and this video convinced me to finally pony up and get the Pi4.

This is what I have been waiting thank you :D

[jimguffey]

I am looking forward to your upcoming videos.

The huge difference in FPS between pi 3 and pi 4 with coral was most probably because of the usb 3.0 support in pi4 which is needed for coral!

People may be asking why Pi 4 + USB is WAY better than Pi 3 + USB. It's really simple, Pi 4 has 3.0 USB, yep, it's really that simple. Great video!

Amazing to see 30+ fps running on a Raspberry Pi! Great comparison.

Grt comparison. I am making a model to Detect the fish inside the Fish Cages. Plan is to collect more data and process it for better production.
CheerS!!!

Awesome output. Can you say how we can use USB accelerator with tensorflow lite in raspberry 4 plzzzz. Can you make a tutorial on that?

[NoName-iptt]

This is very helpful video, Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

Great work. Thanks for Detailed Steps. Thanks for sharing your learning's.

[nicesuu]

omg, finally video that i been waiting for <3

[gravitylink]

really impressive！ thanks for sharing，recently our team is working on Edge TPU projects too, your demo inspired us more with ideas~~yep, we are also the distributor of Google Edge TPU

[fitzmagic]

Another great video. Thanks for sharing!

[joels]

Great video. I love the layout of the performance comparison. Keep up the awesome work.
