Authors: WU Jia, GAO Jinwei NPU, short for neural processing unit, is a specialized processor designed to accelerate the performance of common machine learning tasks and typically of neural networks applications. Besides acceleration, NPU frees the CPU and it is pretty power efficient. OpenCV’s Dynamic Neural Network (DNN) module is a light and efficient deep […]
How to use OpenCV with OpenVINO
Guest post by Aleksandr Voron To keep OpenVINO™ Toolkit focused on optimizing and deploying inference, we no longer include OpenCV and DL Streamer in our distribution packages. But not to worry! Both OpenCV and DL Streamer continue to work with OpenVINO and in this blog post we will explain how. In the 2022.1 release of OpenVINO™, OpenCV became an optional […]
OpenCV Face Detection: Cascade Classifier vs. YuNet
Written by CHEN Zhangjie (Junior, Department of Computer Science and Engineering) Face Detection is a computer vision task in which a computer program detects the presence of human faces and also finds their locations in an image or a video stream. The technology has been rapidly advancing and maturing with various models being developed. The […]
Orbbec 3D UVC cameras are now supported by OpenCV!
3D cameras play an important role in the modern industry. They help us solve computer vision tasks that can’t be completed with 2D data. Two years ago, OpenCV supported Orbbec 3D cameras of Astra series. Now here comes more good news. OpenCV supports its 3D UVC cameras! Unlike working with previous Astra 3D cameras which […]
Computer Vision Annotation Tool Product Tour
Awhile ago we told you how the Computer Vision Annotation Tool (CVAT) has been spun out on its own, thanks in large part to our friends at Intel for years of supporting the project. In this video, we show how to use the relaunched CVAT.ai online tool – how to sign up, upload your data, […]
Mobile AI Frameworks from Modelplace
Recently we’ve told you a lot about Modelplace, the AI model marketplace, and even shown some of its features on our webinar series. Today we’re excited to share the next big offering from this important community resource: Drop-in AI frameworks for iOS with fully functional sample apps. With these products, downloadable from get.modelplace.ai, you’ll be […]
Modelplace 2.0, powered by OpenCV, is here
Since the launch last year, the AI model marketplace at Modelplace.AI has been improving by leaps and bounds. The number of models continues to grow along with performance boosts and new features such as model comparison benchmarks. Today we’re excited to tell you about the biggest change yet: Modelplace 2.0. We’ve rethought the entire presentation […]
Join The OpenCV AI Scavenger Hunt sponsored by Intel
OpenCV AI Scavenger Hunt is a new contest from OpenCV combining the power of the OpenVINO Toolkit with one of the hottest things in tech today: Images generated by feeding text to a speciality trained AI network. Each week in October we’ll email you a AI-generated image and it’s up to you to uncover the […]
Computer Vision Annotation Tool (CVAT) has a New Home
Fast and accurate data annotation is crucial for the success of any AI project. For the last five years, Intel has developed one of the world’s most popular open-source annotation tools, the Computer Vision Annotation Tool (CVAT), and hosted the tool on CVAT.org. Intel engineers have worked diligently to bring many features to the tool […]
