The Embedded Vision Alliance has posted a follow-on article showcasing several case study examples of OpenVX implementations in various applications, leveraging multiple hardware platforms along with both traditional and deep learning computer vision algorithms. The article also introduces readers to an industry alliance created to help product creators incorporate practical computer vision capabilities into their hardware and software, along with outlining the technical resources that this alliance provides. A companion article focuses on more recent updates to the OpenVX API, up to and including latest v1.2 of the specification and associated conformance tests, along with the recently published set of extensions that OpenVX implementers can optionally provide. It also discusses the optimization opportunities available with SoCs’ increasingly common heterogeneous computing architectures.

Don’t miss this year’s OpenVX Workshop at Embedded Vision Summit on May 24th, 2018. Khronos will present a day-long hands-on workshop all about OpenVX cross-platform neural network acceleration API for embedded vision applications. We’ve developed a new curriculum so even if you attended in past years, this is a do-not-miss, jam-packed tutorial with new information on computer vision algorithms for feature tracking and neural networks mapped to the graph API. We’ll be doing a hands-on practice session that gives participants a chance to solve real computer vision problems using OpenVX with the folks who created the API. We’ll also be talking about the OpenVX roadmap and what’s to come.
