How to Quickly Start AI Inferences
Step 1. Go to the Quick Start page.

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

Step 3. Choose your video source which could be video clips or the USB Camera.

Step 4. Choose one of the acceleration chipsets to execute 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.
The task 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 different sectors: security, insurance, nursing, health, and production.
Technologies offer opportunities that can significantly increase customer satisfaction.

Face Detection
Facial Detection is the task of making a positive identification of a face in a photo or video image against a pre-existing database of faces.
It begins with detection - distinguishing human faces from other objects in the image - and then works on identification of those detected faces.

Pose Estimation
Pose Estimation is a computer vision task where the goal is to detect the position and orientation of a person or an object.
Usually, this is done by predicting the location of specific keypoints like hands, head, elbows, etc.
