Choosing which camera the model should use

Help
#1

Hi Guys!
I am currently working on a project that includes running multiple models on the same raspberry pi.
more than 1 camera would be connected to the Pi and more than one model would be running…each model requires one camera.
So basically, if am running 2 models with 2 different cameras(2 USB cameras), how do I choose which camera each model should use.

Thanks

Hello @ADARSHJK,

So underneath Edge Impulse Linux models are self-contained binaries.
This means that you can wrap your two models in a script and choose the camera you want for each models.
You can have a look at our Linux SDKs for examples: https://docs.edgeimpulse.com/docs/edge-impulse-for-linux
We only use one model but you can modify it with something similar to this:

runner_1 = ImpulseRunner(model_path_1)
runner_2 = ImpulseRunner(model_path_2)

Feel free to share your code here with the community once you have something running, it might interest other users :wink:

Regards,

Louis
