Installation

Ubuntu 18.04

The Intel® Distribution of OpenVINO™ toolkit for Linux*:

• Enables CNN-based deep learning inference on the edge.

• Supports heterogeneous execution across Intel® CPU, Intel® Integrated Graphics, Intel® Movidius™ Neural Compute Stick, Intel® Neural Compute Stick 2, and Intel® Vision Accelerator Design with Intel® Movidius™ VPUs.

• Speeds time-to-market via an easy-to-use library of computer vision functions and pre-optimized kernels.

• Includes optimized calls for computer vision standards including OpenCV*, OpenCL™, and OpenVX*.

Included with the Installation and installed by default:

Component	Description
Model Optimizer	This tool imports, converts, and optimizes models that were trained in popular frameworks to a format usable by Intel tools, especially the Inference Engine. Popular frameworks include Caffe*, TensorFlow*, MXNet*, and ONNX*.
Inference Engine	This is the engine that runs the deep learning model. It includes a set of libraries for an easy inference integration into your applications.
Drivers and runtimes for OpenCL™ version 2.1	Enables OpenCL on the GPU/CPU for Intel® processors
Intel® Media SDK	Offers access to hardware accelerated video codecs and frame processing
OpenCV version 3.4.2	OpenCV* community version compiled for Intel® hardware. Includes PVL libraries for computer vision
OpenVX* version 1.1	Intel's implementation of OpenVX* 1.1 optimized for running on Intel® hardware (CPU, GPU, IPU)
Demos and Sample Applications	A set of simple console applications demonstrating how to use the Inference Engine in your applications
