eIQ^™ OpenCV Neural Network and ML Algorithm Support

Overview

NXP’s eIQ^™ software supports the OpenCV library – a well-known industry standard comprised of programming functions that can perform image processing, video encoding/decoding, video analysis and object detection, in addition to processing of deep neural networks (DNN) and classical machine learning algorithms (ML). The cross-platform eIQ for OpenCV library is free for use under the open-source BSD license. eIQ for OpenCV NN targets Arm^® Cortex^®-A cores and utilizes Arm Neon^™ technology acceleration to process TensorFlow and Caffe trained NN models.

NOTE: This is currently available as Beta early-release software, with general availability (GA) release expected in late 2019.
