Luxonis Oak-1 DepthAI Hardware

The Luxonis Oak-1 is an outstanding all-in-one machine vision solution. It's a super - powerful AI device capable of performing 4 trillion operations per second. With this, it can run your AI models right on - board, leaving your host free to focus on other tasks. The integrated 12 - MegaPixel camera module connects to the Myriad X via an on - board 2.1 Gbps MIPI interface. The Myriad X takes in the data, does neural inference, and sends the results back over USB. This data path significantly lightens the load on the host processor. For object detection in a 12MP image, your host now only has to handle a 24 Kbps stream of object information instead of a 2.1 Gbps video stream, a reduction of 87,500 times. This means you can use dozens of Luxonis OAK - 1 on relatively slow hosts without overloading the CPU. For example, when running MobileNet - SSD, an OAK - 1 with a Raspberry Pi can achieve over 50 FPS with 0% CPU utilization, while an NCS2 with a Raspberry Pi only gets 8 FPS and 225% CPU utilization. Documents available include DepthAI Product Brief, DepthAI Documentation, DepthAI C++ API Github, DepthAI Python Github, DepthAI Hardware Github, Luxonis Forums, and Luxonis Discord.

Using the Luxonis Oak - 1 is quite straightforward. First, connect the device to your host using the USB connection. Once connected, you can start running your AI models on it. It's great for tasks like object detection. When using it, make sure your host has a compatible operating system and the necessary software installed. For maintenance, keep the device in a clean and dry environment. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or moisture. If you run into any issues, you can refer to the DepthAI Documentation or visit the Luxonis Forums and Discord for help.
