Intel launches new platform with Geti to help make it easier for users to build computer vision models that can be deployed using OpenVINO.
Computer vision is among the most widely deployed use cases for AI today, enabling artificial intelligence (AI) systems to rapidly identify objects and people.
The global market for computer vision hardware and software service is forecast to reach $41 billion by 2030, according to Allied Market Research, and it’s a market that is attracting no shortage of vendor interest.
At the Intel Innovation 2022 event today, the chipmaker revealed details about its push into computer vision with its Intel Geti platform and OpenVINO toolkit software for AI deep learning and inference.
“Computer vision models utilize artificial intelligence to predict and extract valuable information from images and videos,” Adam Burns, VP and director of AI developer tools in the network and edge group (NEX) at Intel said during an Intel Innovation 2022 press briefing.
Burns said the information that computer vision models can detect ranges from identifying a defect during a manufacturing process, to being able to determine how many people are in line at a restaurant. He added that computer vision is used to drive enterprise automation, productivity and innovation across many verticals and is increasing rapidly in demand.
Intel has been working on developing its own computer vision platform under the codename Sonoma Creek. That effort is now coming to fruition under the rebranded name of Intel Geti.
Intel’s goal with Geti is to help accelerate adoption of computer vision, using Intel hardware and software.
