Coral and Intel 630 OpenVino[Detector Support]: #22504
Describe the problem you are havingI have Frigate running on bare-metal debian with docker compose. I have a Coral, but the PC has an Intel 630 graphics chipset. Should I be using the coral, the intel GPU (with OpenVino?) or both? How should I configure this if so? Version0.17.0-f0d69f7 Frigate config filemqtt:

Multiple detectors cannot be mixed for object detection—for example, OpenVINO and Coral EdgeTPU cannot be used for object detection at the same time. (1) Your current setup using the Coral EdgeTPU for object detection is a good choice. The Coral is one of the most efficient detectors available, providing fast inference speeds with low power consumption. (1) Your Intel HD 630 GPU is being used appropriately for hardware-accelerated video decoding via your So your configuration is actually well-optimized:
These are two separate tasks, and your current setup uses each piece of hardware for what it does best. (2), (3) If you wanted to use OpenVINO with your Intel GPU for object detection instead of the Coral, you could configure it like this: detectors:
ov:
type: openvino
device: GPU
model:
width: 300
height: 300
input_tensor: nhwc
input_pixel_format: bgr
path: /openvino-model/ssdlite_mobilenet_v2.xml
labelmap_path: /openvino-model/coco_91cl_bkgr.txtHowever, the Coral TPU typically provides faster inference speeds than an integrated GPU like the HD 630, so sticking with your Coral configuration is recommended. Keep your Intel GPU for video decoding via VA-API as you have it configured. 📚 Sources: Have another question? Just tag @inkeep. |
