Edge Impulse is a platform focused on deploying ML models to low-power edge devices and embedded systems. It supports both vision and other models like audio, time-series, and signal processing. Edge Impulse is uniquely good at working withmicrocontrollers and has SDKs for single-board computers and mobile devices.
The design focus on TinyML makes it less suited for high-resource, general-purpose tasks like video processing and running modern, state-of-the-art ML models. It also requires some familiarity with embedded systems. It typically requires custom coding your application logic to run on the embedded board.
Chose Edge Impulse if: you're working on an IoT or wearable device that's not capable of running more powerful models, framework, and logic.
Triton is a powerhouse tool for machine learning experts to deploy ML models at scale. Its primary focus is on extremely optimized pipelines that run efficiently on NVIDIA hardware. It can be tough to use, tradingoff simplicity and a quick development cycle for raw speed and isgeared towards expert users. It can chain models together, but doingso is a rigid and manual process.
Inference turns any computer or edge device into a command center for your computer vision projects.
