Object Detection is a challenging task in computer vision, but Deep Neural Networks (DNN) have made great progress in this area. This work presents the process and the results obtained in the attempts to embed a YOLO V3 model in a Neural Compute Engine, the Movidius Stick. Experiments were carried out with a Tensorflow model that is converted to Movidius (using OpenVINO) including an evaluation of the Movidius stick connected to a Raspberry Pi3. The application uses aerial images of power distribution towers captured by a drone. Although there are some fully operational networks for Neural Compute Engines, there are some difficulties in porting new networks to the platform, with gains in performance, but with losses in accuracy.
