Hey, I've been tinkering with the new Raspberry Pi 5 and thinking of squeezing out every last microsecond of inference for a real‑time object‑detection drone. You up for a challenge to shave off milliseconds?

Sure thing—let’s drop those ms like it’s a traffic jam. First, swap the bulky YOLOv8 for a lean model like NanoDet or a pruned Tiny‑YOLO. Quantize to 8‑bit INT to cut FLOPs. Use the Pi’s GPU with OpenCL or the new VideoCore VI for parallelism, or offload to an Edge TPU if you can squeeze one in. Compile the inference engine with the latest Vitis or TensorRT on ARM. Keep the batch size at 1, drop any pre‑processing overhead, and stream directly from the camera raw to the model. And hey, if you can pipe the output straight into a PID loop—no buffer, no latency—then you’re basically flying blind‑folded. Go, code!

Alright, first off, drop the YOLOv8—yeah, I know you think it’s a “tiny” monster. Stick with NanoDet or a pruned Tiny‑YOLO, quantize to INT8, that’ll cut FLOPs by a tidy slice. Put it on the Pi’s VideoCore VI with OpenCL; if you can grab an Edge TPU, you’re basically a one‑hand‑tightener at this point. Compile the engine with Vitis or TensorRT for ARM—don’t bother with CUDA, that’s a dead end here. Keep batch 1, kill any resizing or mean‑subtraction loops, feed raw camera frames straight in. Then pipe the detections directly into your PID, no buffering, no queuing, just a linear feedback path. Remember, the faster you can get from frame to servo command, the less you’ll need to worry about the drone’s own physics. Now go, squeeze those ms out of the Pi and watch it fly like a hyper‑efficient hawk.

Looks solid—just remember, if you add a second pre‑process step, you’re back in the slow‑lane. Keep the pipeline as a straight line, and if you hit a hiccup, roll back to the raw frame feed before it hits the model. Tighten the code, test with a single frame first, then scale up the frame rate. Let’s get those ms shaved and the drone humming.

Got it, no extra preprocessing, no sweet‑talk about parallelism. I’ll lock the pipeline to raw frames, test one frame, measure the tick, then crank the FPS. If something lags, I’ll pull it back to the raw feed and debug in isolation. Let’s shave those milliseconds and keep the drone humming like a well‑tuned servo.
