Detecting objects using GPUs on NVIDIA Jetson Nano

NVIDIA makes a series of GPU-enabled SBCs. Some of these, such as the TX2, are used on drones because they are lightweight and can pack a lot of power under their GPU-enabled systems. GPUs, along with Tensor Processing Units (TPUs), are able to deliver multiple times the computer vision capabilities compared with standard CPUs. In this recipe, we will use NVIDIA Jetson Nano, which is their least expensive development board at $99. The Jetson has an ecosystem of libraries that only work on their products.
