Following can be observed from the video:

  • Time For image frames, the digital signal processing (DSP) based features extraction time is ≈ 12 ms, while classification time is ≈ < 20 𝜇𝑠 (1/1000th of DSP).

  • FPS It is 1000/12 ms = 83.3 FPS, which is the time taken by the TinyML-CAM image recognition system to process (DSP) plus classify using a single image frame. Since the ESP32 has a 30 FPS frame rate, just to capture frames, it takes 1000/30 = 33 ms. So the entire frame rate is 1000/(33+12) = 22 FPS.

  • Accuracy As expected during Pairplot analysis, Portenta and Pi (features overlapped) are mislabelled quite often, which can be rectified by improving dataset quality.

  • Memory Consumes only 1 kB of RAM - difference between the RAM calculated by Arduino IDE before and after adding the TinyML-CAM image recognition system.
