Implementing Vision Language Models on Jetson Orin Nano Super Developer Kit
The Evolution of Intelligent Monitoring
Current monitoring systems, despite their advancements, face a fundamental limitation: the inability to reason about what they see.
🔍 Current Limitations
Basic detection without contextual understanding
Inability to reason about complex scenarios
No comprehension of human behavior patterns
Limited to predefined rules without true intelligence
💡 The Need
Sophisticated reasoning about scenes and behaviors
Understanding complex human interactions
Connecting patterns across time and space
Intelligent decision-making based on context
Vision Language Models (VLMs) bridge this gap by bringing human-like reasoning to edge devices, transforming basic detection into intelligent comprehension. The challenge? Implementing these sophisticated models on edge hardware while maintaining real-time performance.
