Project Description

I have all my photos on a private NAS running nextcloud.

This NAS has an ARM CPU and 1GB of RAM, which means I cannot run the face recognition plugin because it requires a GPU, 2 GB of RAM, and PDLib is not available for this arch (I know I could build it and package it ... but doesn't sound fun ;) )

However, I have a Coral TPU connected to a USB port (Thanks to my super friend Marc!):

Where I could run Tensorflow Lite... you see where this is going, don't you?

Goal for this Hackweek

The goal is to run face recognition on the Coral TPU using tensorflow lite and then using the nextcloud API to tag the images.
