Support Coral USB Accelerator

[Nexulo]

Is the USB stick not supported (Why not?)? Will the (optional?) support come in the future?

[robmarkcole]

I did that in https://github.com/robmarkcole/coral-pi-rest-server
It is not necessary for my use cases. Keeping this issue open as I am sure it will be asked again

[wjcloudy]

Was guided here by the coral-pi-rest-server (deprecated) - have you dropped coral support entirely?

[robmarkcole]

I might add it in a branch, this whole repo is for experimentation

[wibimaster]

Ahah, was redirect here from deprecated repository too, when looking for face recognition with Coral USB ;) Hope you can do it soon ! :D

[robmarkcole]

I am thinking about processing video feeds again, so might consider this

@robmarkcole, I see this new Deepstack deposit on .github just appeared 2 days ago

Any chance we will get a docker container that supports our Coral stick that can be called from home assistant without having to wedge the rest server you wrote onto Linux?

I did this port of your server and it works, but it's not optimal... Docker would be way better.

@jazzmonger the issue is that Coral, which uses TensorFlow-lite, is incompatible with the Pytorch approach we have taken in the rest of Deepstack. Feel free to continue this discussion on the Deepstack issue johnolafenwa/DeepStack#36

Any chance this will work on Intel NCS2?

[robmarkcole]

@fgonza2 similar to my reply re deepstack, I believe NCS2 uses intel specific modes, not tflite

[robmarkcole]

I've unarchived the coral repo, so people can make PR to add functionality
