ESP-WHO Platform Support ESP-EYE
ESP-WHO is a platform that helps to work with images using special chips made by Espressif. It’s designed to make image processing easier for developers . It can use ESP-WHO to create practical applications by following its development examples. For instance, it can make your own device detect human faces, recognize specific faces, detect cat faces, and even recognize gestures. These examples can serve as a foundation for building a wide range of useful applications. ESP-WHO is compatible with ESP-IDF, a development framework that helps you write software for ESP32. Additionally, ESP-DL provides interfaces for deep learning specifically tailored for ESP-WHO. With ESP-DL, you can connect ESP-WHO to different external devices and create fascinating applications using the power of deep learning.
