The challenge
AI is changing every market and enabling new and enhanced use cases across various industries like health and life sciences, retail, industrial, and more.
We want to help you realize your AI superpower! We’re calling on developers around the world to create intelligent, computer vision-based solutions using the Intel® Distribution of OpenVINO™ toolkit. Imagine, download, build. It’s that simple!
The Intel® Distribution of OpenVINO™ toolkit is a comprehensive tool suite that helps developers harness the full potential of AI and computer vision across multiple Intel® architectures. The toolkit enables developers to build innovative applications that can scale to meet real-world challenges.
Passionate about deep learning? Driven to make a difference? Then put on your cape, download the OpenVINO toolkit and use your deep learning superpowers to create breakthrough applications that will solve real-world problems!
The HardwareThe OpenVINO toolkit can be quickly deployed on any of the following Intel hardware devices for maximum performance:
- Intel® CPUs
- Intel® Integrated Graphics
- Intel® FPGAs
- Intel® Neural Compute Stick 2 and Intel® Vision Accelerator Design with Intel® Movidius™ VPUs
Check out the details here.
Submission Categories:Your project should focus on one of the following categories (you'll need to pick one when you submit your entry!). Your project must leverage the OpenVINO toolkit to be eligible for prizes. As you build your project, keep in mind Intel’s Global Human Rights Principles and how they apply to your project. Intel is committed to respecting human rights and avoiding complicity in human rights abuses. Intel’s products and software are intended only to be used in applications that do not cause or contribute to a violation of an internationally recognized human right.
