I own the Xiaomi Yi Home camera. Also, I have a computer vision model which is able to recognize gestures. I want to build a pipeline to use the video stream from my camera as an input to the model and after it recognize gestures use this information to control some home appliances. How I can connect my camera and the model?
As far as I know, Yi Home camera doesn't support a direct stream of videos to computer. It works only with smartphones. So, to work in the real-time mode you should write your custom connectors which will constantly save the video stream into the memory of the phone and then instantly direct the videos to the model.
But will not this system be very slow? I want it to work in a real-time.
You will not get the full-fledged real-time mode, but you can try to reduce the latency as much as possible.
Can you give some advice on how to reduce the latency, please?
I think the best option is to deploy the model to the cloud and then work with the cloud. But it depends on the speed of your network and some other parameters. So, it is a feasible problem, but complex. Yi Home camera originally was not intended to work with machine learning models, this is the snag here.
Thanks!
