This application was developed by Ben Fisher and Caleb Hensley and qualified as their senior project for Brigham Young University - Idaho.
The real-world application of this software is its goal to assist the AMBER alert program in the recovery of children by helping law enforcement in the search for suspected kidnappers. Its purpose is to make a log of car color, type, and location at the point in time that a device 'sees' a car on the road. Human trafficking is a very real and current issue, and this software is a step toward fighting the global battle that it is.
This software is a prototype and is meant to run on a raspberry pi inside a car with an external camera, Intel Neural Compute Stick 2, and GPS receiver.
Support was added for an Intel Neural Compute Stick 2. This device cuts our object detection time down by more than 50%.
