Jetson Platform Services

Build and deploy AI-powered edge applications using Jetson Platform Services (JPS). Learn to create modular microservices for video analytics, VLM alerts, and zero-shot detection.

Jetson Platform Services (JPS) provide a platform to simplify development, deployment and management of Edge AI applications on NVIDIA Jetson. JPS is a modular & extensible architecture for developers to distill large complex applications into smaller modular microservices with APIs to integrate into other apps & services.

At its core are a collection of AI services leveraging generative AI, deep learning, and analytics, which provide state of the art capabilities including:

  • Video analytics
  • Video understanding and summarization
  • Text based prompting
  • Zero shot detection
  • Spatio temporal analysis of object movement
