Google announced New Coral products for 2020

More and more industries are beginning to recognize the value of local AI, where the speed of local inference allows considerable savings on bandwidth and cloud compute costs, and keeping data local preserves user privacy.
Last year, we launched Coral, our platform of hardware components and software tools that make it easy to prototype and scale local AI products. Our product portfolio includes the Coral Dev Board, USB Accelerator, and PCIe Accelerators, all now available in 36 countries.

Since our release, we’ve been excited by the diverse range of applications already built on Coral across a broad set of industries that range from healthcare to agriculture to smart cities. And for 2020, we’re excited to announce new additions to the Coral platform that will expand the possibilities even further.

First up is the Coral Accelerator Module, an easy to integrate multi-chip package that encapsulates the Edge TPU ASIC. The module exposes both PCIe and USB interfaces and can easily integrate into custom PCB designs.

Next, we’re announcing the Coral Dev Board Mini, which provides a smaller form-factor, lower-power, and lower-cost alternative to the Coral Dev Board. The Mini combines the new Coral Accelerator Module with the MediaTek 8167s SoC to create a board that excels at 720P video encoding/decoding and computer vision use cases. The board will be on display during CES 2020 at the MediaTek showcase located in the Venetian, Tech West, Level 3. The Coral Dev Board Mini will be available in the first half of 2020.

We're also offering new variations to the Coral System-on-Module, now available with 2GB and 4GB LPDDR4 RAM in addition to the original 1GB LPDDR4 configuration. We’ll be showcasing how the SoM can be used in smart city, manufacturing, and healthcare applications, as well as a few new SoC and MCU explorations.

Finally, Asus has chosen the Coral SOM as the base to their Tinker Edge T product, a maker friendly single-board computer that features a rich set of I/O interfaces, multiple camera connectors, programmable LEDs, and color-coded GPIO header. The Tinker Edge T board will be available soon.

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...

How to retrain an image classification model?

Got a tutorial from Google Coral Team: This tutorial shows you how to retrain an image classification 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  quantized  MobileNet V1 model to recognize different types of flowers (adopted from TensorFlow's docs). But you can reuse these procedures with your own image dataset, and with a different pre-trained model. Tip:  If you want a shortcut to train an image classification model, try Cloud AutoML Vision. It's a web-based tool that allows you to train a model with your own images, optimize it, and then export it for the Edge TPU. Set up the Docker container Prepare your dataset Retrain your classification model Compile the model for the Edge TPU Run...
