Are Google Coral devices worthy to buy?

“Coral is a complete toolkit to build products with local AI. “—— Google.
Now google coral has 8 devices: Dev Board, USB Accelerator, Mini PCIe Accelerator, M.2 Accelerator A+E key, M.2 Accelerator B+M key, System-on-Module (SoM), Coral Camera, Environmental Sensor Board.
from prototype to production, coral devices make it easy to take your idea from sketch into proof-of-concept.
Coral provides a complete platform for accelerating neural networks on embedded devices. At the heart of our accelerators is the Edge TPU coprocessor. It's a small-yet-mighty, low-power ASIC that provides high performance neutral net inferencing.
Coral’s local AI technology enables new possibilities across almost any kind of industry: Building smarter cities, Making manufacturing work better, Helping people get around, Keeping people healthy and etc.
for example, Local AI provides high performance, offline analysis for agriculture challenges that can improve soil quality, plant health, and crop yield in order to produce more food, reduce environmental impact, and enable sustainable farming practices.

Beyond that, Google offers the Edge TPU in multiple form factors to suit various prototyping and production environments—from embedded systems deployed in the field, to network systems operating on-premise.
For example, the Coral USB Accelerator simply plugs into a desktop, laptop, or embedded system such as a Raspberry Pi so you can quickly prototype your application. From there, you can scale to production systems by adding our Mini PCIe or M.2 Accelerator to your hardware system.
If you're looking for a fully-integrated system, you can get started with Coral Dev Board—a single-board computer based on NXP's 8M system-on-chip. Then you can scale to production by connecting our System-on-Module (included on the Dev Board) to your own baseboard.
so Google Coral is really worthy to buy, the price is nice to developers.

10 questions you should know about Google Edge TPU

1. What is the Edge TPU? The Edge TPU is a small ASIC designed by Google that provides high performance ML inferencing for low-power devices. For example, it can execute state-of-the-art mobile vision models such as MobileNet V2 at almost 400 FPS, in a power efficient manner. Google offers multiple products that include the Edge TPU built-in. Two Edge TPU chips on the head of a US penny 2. What machine learning frameworks does the Edge TPU support? TensorFlow Lite only. 3. What type of neural networks does the Edge TPU support? The first-generation Edge TPU is capable of executing deep feed-forward neural networks (DFF) such as convolutional neural networks (CNN), making it ideal for a variety of vision-based ML applications. 4. How do I create a TensorFlow Lite model for the Edge TPU? You need to convert your model to TensorFlow Lite and it must be quantized using either quantization-aware training (recommended) or full integer post-training quantization. (To create a compatible model...

How to Retrain an object detection model

This tutorial shows you how to retrain an object detection model to recognize a new set of classes. You'll use a technique called transfer learning to retrain an existing model and then compile it to run on an Edge TPU device—you can use the retrained model with either the Coral Dev Board or the Coral USB Accelerator. Specifically, this tutorial shows you how to retrain a MobileNet V1 SSD model (originally trained to detect 90 objects from the COCO dataset) so that it detects two pets: Abyssinian cats and American Bulldogs (from the Oxford-IIIT Pets Dataset). But you can reuse these procedures with your own image dataset, and with a different pre-trained model. The steps below show you how to perform transfer-learning using either last-layers-only or full-model retraining. Most of the steps are the same; just keep an eye out for the different commands depending on the technique you desire. Note: These instructions do not require deep experience with TensorFlow o...
