Using Google Coral to speed things up?

[thehijacker]

Hello,

Just got Google Coral USB dongle. It detects persons but not individual faces that can be connected with name.

Anyone here tried using face-api.js with Google Coral and have succeeded?

Thank you.

Best regards,
Andrej

Google Coral supports only TensorFlow Lite models that are fully 8-bit quantized and then compiled specifically for the Edge TPU. AFAIK, there is no support for saved (used by standard TF) or graph/layers models (used by TFJS) - as such, any project (including face-api) that uses TFJS will not work on Google Coral.
