Computer Vision is a fast growing technology being deployed in nearly every industry from factory floors to amusement parks to shopping malls, smart buildings, and smart homes. It is also driving the evolution of machine learning and human interactions with intelligent systems. This increased need for computer vision solutions has helped to drive the development of the Intel® Distribution of OpenVINO™ toolkit.
This SDK brings incredible functionality to developers working on a wide range of solutions. However, if you’re not fully versed in computer vision you may want to explore some of the resources below before diving into the Intel® Distribution of OpenVINO™ toolkit.
