Limitations

Frame texture as an input is not yet supported (feature coming soon).
Initialization time and performance vary by inference engine and hardware; GPU inference and some engines can take longer to initialize.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it work with x86 applications?
Yes, it works with x86 applications which are running on x64 platforms. The SDK package delivers x64 and x86 DLLs.
How fast can this be?
Performance depends on frame size, color format, inference engine, hardware and whether it runs on GPU or CPU. Normally that would be up to 50 FPS for a FullHD frame.
How long is the SDK initializing?
Initialization time depends on the inference engine. For example, the latest OpenVINO version can take up to 2–3 seconds. GPU inference usually takes much longer and should be handled in the application UX.
Does it support frame texture as an input?
Not yet, coming soon.
How do you provide updates?
New builds are sent directly to customers and the package contains new libs, docs and a changelist.
Do you provide help with integration?
Yes. The vendor helps with integration, provides additional insights, code samples, documentation and typically creates a chat with the dev team for fast communication.
Can you do customization of SDK?
Yes. The SDK can be adjusted according to requirements, typically on a time-and-materials basis.
Do you plan to add new functionality to the SDK?
Yes. The roadmap includes beautification, quality improvements (lighting, color adjustment, super resolution), smart auto scale/follow and more.
