Quick Guide

Edge AI SDK caters to users who are comfortable with the machine learning (ML) experience.
It can quickly evaluate computing performance for the CPU or GPU, and provides runtime results inferenced with ML.

Double click the icon (in the red box) on the Desktop to start the Edge AI SDK App.

How to Quickly Start Vision AI

Step 1. Go to the Quick Start (Vision) page, as shown below.

Step 2. Choose one application you want to activate and confirm inference info.
(1. Object detection, 2. Face detection, 3. Person detection, 4. Pose estimation)

Step 3. Choose your video source (video clips or USB Camera).

• Video (Note: .MP4 only)
  

• USB Camera
  

Step 4. Choose one of the acceleration chipsets to execute the selected inference application.
Note: The available accelerator chipsets depend on your AI system and accelerator card.

Step 5. Another window will pop up to show the AI inference.

Object Detection

Object Detection is a computer vision task in which the goal is to detect and locate objects of interest in an image or video.
It involves identifying the position and boundaries of objects, and classifying them into different categories.

Person Detection

Person Detection is based on object detection systems that can classify detected objects as human.
It is used in many sectors: security, insurance, nursing, health, and production.

Face Detection

Facial Detection is the task of identifying faces in a photo or video against a database.
It begins with detection (distinguishing faces) and continues with identification.

Pose Estimation

Pose Estimation detects the position and orientation of a person or object.
Usually done by predicting keypoints like hands, head, elbows, etc.

How to Quickly Start GenAI

Step 1. Go to the Quick Start (GenAI) page.

Step 2. Choose application (chatbot).

Step 3. Choose one of the acceleration chipsets.

Step 4. Another window will pop up to show the chatbot.
