Jetson Nano

The object detection script runs on a Jetson Nano located at IT. Jetson Nano is a small and powerful computer for embedded applications that allows to run multiple neural networks. Due to its capacities, this device supports our object detection module.

Local broker

During the detection in the video stream the number of detected objects is sent to a local broker in 6 different topics, which then sends these values to the central broker in IT.

broker_address = "####.nap.av.it.pt"
port = 1883

#current
currentppl_topic = "detection/people/current"
currentvehicles_topic = "detection/vehicle/current"
currenttwowheelers_topic = "detection/twowheelers/current"

#unique
uniqueppl_topic = "detection/people/unique"
uniquevehicles_topic = "detection/vehicle/unique"
uniquetwowheelers_topic = "detection/twowheelers/unique"

APU

The sniffing script runs on two different APUs. One is located in a smart lamp post near the IT building and another is located in a smart lamp post in Cais da Fonte Nova.

Local broker

During the detection of MAC address the number of devices is sent to a local broker in 2 different topics, which then sends these values to the central broker in IT.

broker_address = "####.nap.av.it.pt"
port = 1883
currentppl_topic = "sniffing/current"
uniqueppl_topic = "sniffing/unique"

Services

The detection running on the devices are started after the Linux kernel is booted using services units and systemd to manage them. The units are located in the folder /etc/systemd/system.
