You should also get a Coral Edge TPU device\nfor accelerating the deep learning model prediction.\n\n# Running\n\nUse poetry to run:\n\n```shell\n$ poetry run birdthing -t bird\n```\n\nYou can select various objects to track, I used a deep learning model that supports a bunch of different objects, see\n`--help` for the full list.
