The Luxonis DepthAI boards combine stereo and/or RGB cameras with the Intel® Movidius⢠Myriad⢠X platform. As a result, a small board can be operated either standalone or with an additional device, such as a Nvidia Xavier Jetson, Raspberry Pi or much more. Due to the extremely powerful Intel UC with a base clock speed of 700 MHz, this small and compact development board can calculate approximately 4.5 million possibilities in less than a second.Difference between the standard (BW1099) and the embedded variant (BW1099EMB)This product is the embedded version of the DepthAI System on Module (SOM). This embedded version contains a 128MB NOR flash and boot switch capabilities, so it can be booted via USB (for use with our Python API) or set to boot from the NOR flash for communication with microcontrollers via SPI. The main difference between this BW1099EMB system-on module and the standard BW1099 is that the standard BW1099 requires a host processor running Linux, Mac or Windows while this module can boot from the NOR flash - WAS allows SPI communication with microcontrollers that may not have an operating system at all (bare-metal C or C++ code).WAS is the concept behind the Luxonis boards?The manufacturer wants to create a versatile platform with a very small form factor that allows anyone to run a first basic script in less than 30 seconds. Thereby, the development platforms are available in different configurations, such as with WLAN or a Raspberry PI Compute Module. If the first tests have been very promising, Luxonis also only offers bare-cash PCBs, which can be integrated as OEM into a third-party component.WAS is DepthAI?Each Luxonis development board comes with DepthAI firmware which comes with the following features:Neuronal interference (e.g. object detection, image classification, etc., including two-stage) Stereo depth (including median filtering) 3D object localization (addition of 2D object detectors with 3D position in meters) Object tracking (also in 3D room) H.264 and H.265 encoding (HEVC, 1080p & 4K video) JPEG coding MJPEG encoding Warp/UnsubscribeThis text is machine translated.
