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.

Intel® Distribution of OpenVINO™ toolkit

If you wish to engage in a Deep Learning training session that involves both presentation and hands on workshop, we have this option for you as well.

Once you have reviewed these basic resources you should be better prepared to understand and learn more from the Smart Video and Intel® Distribution of OpenVINO™ toolkit.

Please see the below resources for more detail.

Description

Computer Vision at the Edge     Video that describes the methods of running a computer vision application at the edge using OpenCV.
OpenCV Code Samples These code samples are a good starting point for developers, across a wide range of markets, who wish to develop more robust computer vision and analytic solutions.
Counting People: Use OpenCV for Edge Detection This article explores the counting people using an edge device useful for retail stores, security monitoring, and a variety of other purposes. In this ‘Computing at the Edge’ project, the gateway uses Open Source Computer Vision (OpenCV) to analyze an Internet Protocol (IP) camera web stream to count the number of people crossing the frame.
