Building OpenVINO™-based Object Detection Demo in C++ using G++ Compiler - Technical Paper

Description

The OpenVINO™-based C++ demos in Open Model Zoo are built using CMake that allows developers to build simple to complex software across multiple platforms with a single set of input files. In real business use cases, the OpenVINO™ applications are integrated into the end user’s target application and the build steps may vary depending on the build tool in the production setup. However, if the end users are using g++ compiler to build their applications, they do not want to change their build tool. To facilitate this, this paper presents the steps to build the C++ object detection demo using g++ compiler on Ubuntu 20.04. The inference outputs of the resulting executable are demonstrated using YOLOv-3-tiny model to verify the proposed method.
