Getting started with OpenVINO

- Purpose
+ Declaring what we can do with OpenVINO as a developer.
+ Guiding a new guy to be familiar with OpenVINO through doing some demonstrations.

1. What are we focusing on?
1.1. As a part of Applications developers

Image 1. Data scientist or Applications developer [1]

In a real project, there are some guys:

- Applications developers
- Data scientists
What we are focusing now is a part of Applications developers. We will get a model from Data
scientists and produce output for the other Applications developers.
1.2. What is OpenVINO? [8]
OpenVINO is a toolkit that you can use to develop and deploy vision-oriented solutions on Intel
platforms. OpenVINO stands for Open Visual Inferencing and Neural Network Optimization. [8]
OpenVINO is focused on Deep Learning inference, not training.
This tool is very useful when your mind arises a question that how do you use a model to do the
detection or classification on new image or video.

2. Installation OpenVINO and getting demo data

2.1. Installation OpenVINO
Following the guide in [2].
Note: chose the right guide that is relative with the Intel® Distribution of OpenVINO™ toolkit
package.
 Image 4. Corresponding guide version of OpenVINO package
2.2. Getting demo data
Following the tutorial in [4]
This demo will show you how to a problem in the real world, using Deep Learning with Intel’s
tools.

3. How to run a demo

OpenVINO is coming with many code samples and pre-trained models that are easy to use and get
started.
Following the introduction in [9] to install the samples demos.
