Create Flexible Computer Vision Solutions for Today’s Edge Applications
When creating computer vision solutions, developers need more options. Intel’s approach lets you do more with the architectures you have and the tools you know. Our general-purpose CPUs offer a strong foundation for computer vision with built-in AI accelerator technologies. If you need additional performance, our purpose-built accelerators give you fast inference for real-time applications. No matter which hardware you use, our software portfolio allows you to scale your applications across multiple types of compute and use cases.
Our vision software is open. Our latest hardware is on the cloud and yours to run and test in an open sandbox. Our ecosystem gives you resources to meet your application requirements and streamline and simplify your work. All this gives you the power, performance, and flexibility you need to extend vision everywhere.
By combining AI and IoT, you can capture data, analyze it fast, and act on it right away. This intelligent edge starts with Intel and our vast ecosystem of solutions and partners.
