The Wahtari nCam is a powerful smart camera equipped with dedicated hardware accelerators, enabling on-the-edge inference of deep neural networks.
It combines the best of two market segments, ITS and industrial quality control. Integrated lighting, motorized zoom and focus, a heating element, and many more features make the nCam, in all its variants, suitable for most situations.
The following sections discuss every variant of the nCam.
The sections are still mostly TODO and a lot of information is missing!
The nCam Plus is equipped with three Intel Movidius Myriad X Chips. These can be used for efficient image processing, video encoding/decoding, and most importantly for AI inference.
The OpenVINO Toolkit is the dedicated open-source SDK developed by Intel, which allows fine-grain control and access to the Myriad X VPUs.
Other possibilities are to use frameworks that incorporate OpenVINO, like OpenCV or ONNXRuntime
