YOLO models on the X15/AI

{{#ev:youtube|Jl3sUq2WwcY||right|BeagleLogic}} About Student: [1]
Mentors: Hunyue Yau
Code: not yet created!
Wiki: http://elinux.org/BeagleBoard/GSoC/ProposalTemplate <- for now in a personal discussion board
GSoC: [ttps://elinux.org/BeagleBoard/GSoC/Ideas-2021#YOLO_models_on_the_X15.2FAI]

Status

Discussing the tentative ideas with Hunyue Yau on IRC.

Proposal

Please complete the requirements listed on the ideas page and fill out this template.

About you

IRC: jduchniewicz
Github: [2]
School: University of Turku/KTH Royal Institute of Technology
Country: Finland/Sweden/Poland
Primary language Polish
Typical work hours (We have mentors in various time zones): 8AM-5PM EET
Previous GSoC participation: Participating in GSoC, especially with BeagleBoard would further develop my software and hardware(BB X15/AI architecture) skills and help me apply my current knowledge for the mutual benefit of the open source community. I aim to deliver a component which will be usable in many upcoming releases of YOLO model and hopefully other models.

About your project

Project name: YOLO models on the X15/AI (with an extensible interface for other models)

Description

The main idea of the project is to accelerate Deep Learning models with help of available hardware resources on the BB X15 and BB AI platforms. Current inference times are abysmal for any real-time (or even slightly laggy but bearable) application ranging from 15 to 35 seconds per frame. This is unacceptable and this project will alleviate this problem and enable efficient deployment of other models once the Texas Instruments Deep Learning library allows for that (RNNs, LSTMs and GRUs are planned to be released).

The main scope of the project is to deploy YOLOv3 (tiny?) model and utilize the TIDL library C++ bindings to make it run smooth and efficient. In 10-20 sentences, what are you making, for whom, why and with what technologies (programming languages, etc.)? (We are looking for open source SOFTWARE submissions.)

Timeline

Provide a development timeline with a milestone each of the 11 weeks and any pre-work. (A realistic timeline is critical to our selection process.)

Mar 29 Applications open, Students register with GSoC, work on proposal with mentors

August 10 Milestone #8, Completion YouTube video
August 16 - 26 18:00 UTC Final week: Students submit their final work product and their final mentor evaluation
August 23 - 30 18:00 UTC Mentors submit final student evaluations

Experience and approach

I have strong programming background in the area of embedded Linux/operating systems as a Junior Software Engineer in Samsung Electronics during December 2017-March 2020. Additionally I have developed a game engine (PolyEngine) in C++ during this time and gave some talks on modern C++ during my time as a Vice-President of Game Development Student Group "Polygon".

Apart from that I have completed my Bach


In 5-15 sentences, convince us you will be able to successfully complete your project in the timeline you have described.

Contingency

Since I am used to tackling seemingly insurmountable challenges, I will first of all keep calm and try to come up with alternative approach if I get stuck along the way. The internet is a vast ocean of knowledge and time and again I received help from benevolent strangers from reddit or other forums. Since I believe that humans are species, which solve problems in the best way collaboratively, I will contact #beagle, #beagle-gsoc and relevant subreddits (I received tremendous help on /r/FPGA, /r/embedded and /r/askelectronics in the past).

If all fails I may be able be forced to change my approach and backtrack, but this will not be a big problem, because the knowledge won't be lost and it will only make my future approaches better. Alternatively, I can focus on documenting my progress in a form of blogposts and videos waiting for my mentor to come back to internetspace.

Quotes?? If successfully completed, what will its impact be on the BeagleBoard.org community? Include quotes from BeagleBoard.org community members who can be found on http://beagleboard.org/discuss and http://bbb.io/gsocchat.
