SKU: opencv-ai-kit-oak
The OpenCV AI Kit (OAK) is an open-source ecosystem comprising hardware, firmware, and software designed to provide embedded spatial AI and computer vision functionalities. Powered by Intel's Myriad X Visual Processing Unit (VPU), OAK devices can run advanced neural networks for tasks such as image classification, object detection, segmentation, and depth estimation in real-time. The platform supports various models, including OAK-1, OAK-D, and OAK-D-Lite, each offering different features like 4K RGB cameras, stereo depth cameras, and USB or Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) connectivity. OAK aims to democratize access to spatial AI, enabling developers, researchers, and hobbyists to build and deploy AI-powered applications efficiently.

The OpenCV AI Kit (OAK) demonstrates high autonomy through its onboard Intel Myriad X VPU, which enables standalone neural network inference (4 TOPS performance), stereo depth calculations, and real-time CV operations without requiring external computational resources. It performs tasks like object detection (YOLO/SSD models), facial recognition, depth mapping, and video encoding independently via its integrated hardware-software stack. However, autonomy is partially limited in scenarios requiring complex multi-stage inference pipelines (e.g., gaze estimation) that may involve host-device coordination or custom model deployment workflows that depend on external development environments.
