Tiny Powerhouse for AI and Computer Vision

The OAK series are tiny artificial intelligence (AI) and computer vision (CV) powerhouses, with OAK-D providing spatial AI leveraging stereo depth in addition to the 4K/30 12MP camera that both models share.  They are also both absurdly easy to use. Up and running in under 30 seconds, OAK-1 and OAK-D allow anyone to access this power: hobbyists, researchers, and professionals alike. Once you’re done tinkering, OAK’s modular, FCC/CE-approved, open-source hardware ecosystem affords direct integration into your products.

openMV ai cv tasks 2

The OpenCV AI Kit namely OAK is a tiny low-power hardware edge AI computing module based on Intel Movidius Myriad-X embedded AI chip. Compared to the other AI acceleration solutions based on GPU, CPU, FPGA, or TPU, Movidius is a VPU architecture, it has 4.0 TOPS computation capacity. And it is 80 times faster for CV and AI tasks than the well-known OpenMV project that only has 0.05 TOPS based on ARM Cortex M7 microcontroller.

The OAK has the same AI chip as the Intel Neural Compute Stick 2 (NCS2) but has more powerful hardware features. OAK shipped with one 1/2.3″ Sony 12MP IMX378 capable of [email protected] H.265 video streaming, video AI pipelined processing, and two optional 1MP monochrome global shutters OV9282 cameras for depth sensing, with all 3 cameras it turns the OAK into an RGB+D camera.

Movidius Myriad X Specs

Movidius’ VPU natively supports Intel Openvino software deployment tool like the NCS2 does, OAK is not only Openvino compatible but even unlocked the video pipelined processing power for the neural inference engine to reveal the speed and depth capability that you have never seen on the NCS2.

With the OAK API, now it works with the OpenCV. Unlike any other Myriad X-based solution in the world, unlocking the full potential of this powerful VPU for the benefit of the entire OpenCV community. Feature tracking, hardware-level H.265 support, and 4k output are now unlocked for use by anyone.

Embedded AI for Real Products

OAK is a modular, open-source ecosystem composed of MIT-licensed hardware, software, and AI training – that allows you to embed the super-power of spatial AI plus accelerated computer vision functions into your product.  OAK provides in a single, cohesive solution what would otherwise require cobbling together disparate hardware and software components. 

Absurdly Easy 30-Second Setup

The OAK API is the fastest way to get started in spatial AI, especially with the OAK-1  module’s single USB-C connector which provides it with both data and power. As you can see in the video above, you can go from unboxing the hardware to running an advanced image classifier in under one minute.

Use Free Neural Nets or Create Your Own

OAK ships with neural nets covering: COVID-19 mask/no-mask detection, Age recognition, Emotion recognition, Face detection, Facial Landmark (e.g., corners of eyes, mouth, chin, etc.), General object detection (20-class), Pedestrian Detection, and Vehicle detection. This list gets added to on a regular basis.
