• Collected and annotated datasets and ran image processing algorithms on them

• Cross-compiled and optimized Darknet Convolutional Neural Network (YOLOv2 CNN) framework using Yocto BSP and ran it on IMX8 CPU

• Achieved object identification accuracy rate of 98% on running framework at 30 FPS

• Energy efficiency was improved by running the darknet framework in conjunction with OpenCL and CLBLAST on GPU of IMX8
