4 months ago This projects uses darknet (https://github.com/AlexeyAB/darknet) to do it's magic. If you can figure out how to run that on your platform of choice then the rest is just making a few http requests on a schedule. This repo is just glue code to do just that, load the weights into darknet and run it, you could easily re-write it in C for embedded systems since trying to use rust might be a pain there.
From the last time I checked darknet can be compiled in a CPU agnostic way (here are all the supported architectures in Alpine Linux https://pkgs.alpinelinux.org/packages?name=aero2solver&branch=edge) but you will run into memory limitations on devices like an esp32. Haven't checked how much is actually needed but I'm almost certain a few megabytes isn't enough. Personally I wouldn't go lower then something like a raspberry pi zero but feel free to experiment.
If you want to avoid additional devices then buy an ARM based MikroTik router with 4g support and run the docker container directly on that ;) (other routers with custom firmware should also work just fine as long as they have enough resources, alpine packages available for all popular architectures, link above)

I'm looking for a way to run this software on the smallest possible device. Probably i will start with some SBC like OrangePi but that hardware doesn't have wireless adapter which could let connections to my mobile router.
Do your code use any system or cpu specific APIs? Im curious if it is possible to compile that rust code to esp32 compatible binary and run that on such development board.
