This week I looked at some libraries from nvidia for image inference, and automatic speech recognition. I found that jetson-inference https://github.com/dusty-nv/jetson-inference has pretrained object recognition and image recognition that we could use for on-board image inference. Additionally, I found the NeMo library for Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR). It is pretrained and would work well for our use case and is also tailored for the NVIDIA platform.
Overall we are on schedule and had a successful presentation and for the next week, I plan on building the required components for speech recognition using the nemo api. Additionally, I will be working with my team to select out the final hardware components.
