Neurala Brains for Bots SDK software can be pre-trained to recognize multiple complex types of objects (“classes”) in real-time. Even new items, which have never been seen before, can be properly classified. The demonstration showed pre-training for a range of objects, such as people, other drones, cars, and bicycles. The software can also be easily updated with new knowledge about new or updated objects.
This software is ideal for use with on-board processing, such as the NVIDIA Jetson TX-1 platform. A drone can instantly identify people or other objects and react quickly to what it sees. Applications include real-time inspections, news gathering (e.g., to follow a subject), and real-time security (e.g., to identify a potential intruder, such as a car, vehicle, or animal).
