[Virtual Exclusive] PRO WORKSHOP (API): Learn to Maximize AI performance through Open-Source Computer Vision based Retail Solution

Tuesday November 12, 2024 11:00am - 11:50am PST

VIRTUAL API World -- Workshop Stage B

Neethu Elizabeth Simon, Intel, Senior Software Engineer
Antonio Martinez, Intel, Software Engineer
Brian McGinn, Intel, Software Solution Developer

Computer vision is revolutionizing various industries, and retail is no exception. While AI applications have many benefits, proof-of-concepts do not scale successfully into larger, implemented deployments. Retailers, independent software vendors (ISVs), and system integrators (SIs) require a good understanding of both hardware and software, maintaining AI models in production and having in-depth knowledge of costs involved in setting up and scaling these systems. Vision workloads are significantly larger, complex, undergo multiple stages of processing and therefore require systems to be architected, built, and deployed with several considerations. To make it easier for software developers to understand the optimizations and hardware capabilities, Automated Self-Checkout is developed- an open-source initiative for vision-enabled retail use cases, providing optimized code blocks, documentation, and performance benchmark data to enhance and accelerate developer’s product and project work.

This Open-Source project is a community developed project that provides the tools needed to launch and benchmark a computer vision-based workload on your local device.

In this hands-on workshop we will demonstrate how to utilize the automated-self-checkout solution to run Docker containers with open-source Intel OpenVINO toolkit and benchmark their performance on different hardware platforms. Through this interactive workshop, attendees will be able to setup and run the AI computer vision-based retail pipelines using this solution. Attendees will also gain knowledge on how to benchmark the workloads using this tool for obtaining maximum hardware performance.
