Hi all!
I´ve been playing around with the picamera and tensorflow recently. Technically it works fine but is pretty slow. The whole procedure (Taking image, saving image, reading back the image, evaluation) takes around 20-30s. I tried decreasing the camera-resolution but I think the bottleneck is saving the image to the sd-card and then read that file again into tensorflow.
Any ideas on how I could decrease the processing time?
