The open and royalty-free API comes from the Khronos Group whose members include AMD, Apple, Arm, Epic Games, Google, Samsung, Intel, Nvidia, Boeing and IKEA.
“The Khronos Group and Raspberry Pi have come together to work on an open-source implementation of OpenVX 1.3, which passes the conformance on Raspberry Pi,” says AMD’s Kiriti Nagesh Gowda, “the open-source implementation passes the Vision, Enhanced Vision, & Neural Net conformance profiles specified in OpenVX 1.3 on Raspberry Pi.”
OpenVX aims to bring efficient, real-time computer-vision processing to embedded computer devices, such as surveillance devices, advanced driver assistance systems, augmented reality, and robotics.
The Khronos Group has published a OpenVX 1.3 sample implementation as well as several sample computer-vision applications on GitHub.
