This step-by-step tutorial will guide you through creating and deploying your first deep learning model with AWS DeepLens. AWS DeepLens is a programmable video camera designed to expand deep learning development skills. It comes with tutorials, code, and pre-trained models. In this tutorial, you will create a project, then deploy and view the project output directly from the device
You will need an AWS DeepLens device in order to complete this tutorial. You can pre-order now on amazon.com.
If you want to view the project output on a monitor you will also need: USB keyboard, USB mouse, monitor with Micro HDMI cable and a USB hub.
If this is your first time using your AWS DeepLens, start with the Configure Your New AWS DeepLens tutorial or if you're looking to do more with your device take a look at the Extending Your AWS DeepLens Project tutorial.
Open the AWS Management Console in a new browser window, so you can keep this step-by-step guide open. When the screen loads, enter your user name and password to get started. Then type DeepLens in the search bar and select AWS DeepLens to open the console.
In this step, you will create a new project in the AWS DeepLens Console using one of the pre-populated project templates.
In this step, you will deploy the Object detection project to your AWS DeepLens device.
In this final step, you will configure a media player to view the project output from the AWS DeepLens device.
You have created your first deep learning computer vision project!
You can now play around the other project templates, try extending your project functionality with AWS Lambda or train a deep learning model using Amazon SageMaker.
Now that you have deployed a model to AWS DeepLens, pick one of the following options to further expand your knowledge.
