Intel and Amazon Web Services have joined forces to
create a new fully programmable deep learning-enabled wireless video camera
called the DeepLens AI Camera which has been specifically designed for
developers.
The new DeepLens AI Camera was revealed during the re:Invent
conference in Las Vegas by AWS CEO Andy Jassy. DeepLens has been created to
provide developers of all skill levels with the tools needed to design and
create artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning products, says Intel
and Amazon.
The DeepLens AI camera is powered by Intel Atom X5
processor supported by embedded graphics to provide the camera with the ability
to detect objects and recognition. Using Intel-Optimised deep learning software
tools and libraries such as the Intel Compute Library for Deep Neural Networks,
Intel clDNN. Apache MXNet is supported from today, and Tensorflow and Caffe2
are expected to be supported in 2018’s first quarter. Enabling the DeepLens
camera to run real-time computer vision models directly from the DeepLens AI
Camera device for reduced cost and real-time responsiveness, says the
development team.
