Instead, I’ll be sharing a table of the results for easy comparison.Now for the results summarized in a table:The NCS is clearly faster on the Pi when compared to using the Pi’s CPU for classification achieving a When comparing execution on my MacBook Pro with Ubuntu VM to the SDK VM on my MBP, performance is worse — this is expected for a number of reasons.For starters, my MBP has a much more powerful CPU.
Forgot your Intel So let’s dive into the workflow.Working with the NCS is quite easy once you understand the workflow.The bottom line is that you need a Today, we’ll set up the Raspberry Pi in with the NCS API-only mode toolchain. Be sure you are using a fresh memory card so you don’t mess up other projects that you’ve been working on, on your Pi.Since we’re using OpenCV and Python, we’ll need the Let’s also install imutils and the picamera API:From there, let’s make a workspace directory and clone the NCSDK:And while we’re at it, let’s clone down the NC App Zoo as we’ll want it for later.And from there, navigate into the following directory:In that directory we’ll use the Makefile to install SDK in API-only mode:Let’s test the installation by using code from the NC App Zoo. Python 2, but I bet if you make the effort, Python 3 will work.3) I would not recommend updating OpenCV and Python.4) I don’t have a good reason here. Getting started with the Intel Movidius Neural Compute Stick $ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade Then let’s install a bunch of packages: Getting started with the Intel Movidius Neural Compute Stick Install any dependencies shown during the installation prior to continuing to step 3.Return to this page and continue with Step 3 after successful installation to assure your installation is correct.Windows Users Can Skip to Step 4.The USB driver on Linux must be configured for the Intel® Neural Compute Stick. About half of them required some sort of change to the Caffe prototxt model definition file.
Looks like we ran into the same problem at the same time.Hi Raghvendra — I think you are using the Makefile from Movidius. In short, you can’t isolate the development environments with virtual environments and the installer actually Hopefully I haven’t scared you off — that is not my intention. The data transfer speeds alone will be apparent if you are benchmarking.Next week’s results will be even more evident when we compare real-time video FPS benchmarks, so be sure to check back on Monday.I’ll be back soon with another blog post to share with you how to generate your own custom graph files for the Movidius NCS.I’ll also be describing how to perform object detection in realtime video using the Movidius NCS — we’ll benchmark and compare the FPS speedup and I think you’ll be quite impressed.In the meantime, be sure to check out the Movidius blog and TopCoder Competition.Intel and Movidius are keeping their blog up to date on GitHub. I run into the same problem. How long does it take to predict a single frame?See Figure 5 where I provide benchmark speeds.I haven’t taken it yet but it seems pretty interesting too.. Just wondering if you had any comment/feedback. It’s absolutely possible to run SSD and YOLO on the Movidius. I may in the future but for the time being I cannot comment on it.Adrian, as you may already know, there’s NCS2 which is not only announced by Intel, but has appeared on the market. I also had to do: sudo apt-get install python-opencvTest the Raspberry Pi installation on the NCS was SUCCESS. I’m planning on doing a tutorial on the Google AIY later this month/early next and then I’ll be able to better discuss the differences between the two.Any results from your AIY Kit testing?I honestly still haven’t had a chance to do anything with it.Arr, this morning Ive met this amazing stick, this evening you published manual. Anyone has a solution?sudo apt-get install -y libusb-1.0-0-dev libprotobuf-devE: Package ‘libusb-1.0-0-dev’ has no installation candidateLet me know if you get it up and running or if you run into further issues.I had the same problem and i was not able to install the two packages even with the link Hey Mathieu — make sure you read David Ramirez’s comment below.Hey Joakim, i have had the same error and i fixed it with this tutorial Update: After coming back from my business trip, I ran apt-get update && apt-get upgradeagain and then tried the same command as I did before:sudo apt-get install -y libusb-1.0-0-dev libprotobuf-devCongrats on resolving the issue, Joakim!Thanks a lot for this great post about the Movidius Neural Compute Stick. Thats the destinyI’m glad the post was timely, Sergei! Please refer to But it still have issue with Dropout layers…Sandor — I find it hard to believe (and quite frustrating) that mvNCCompile doesn’t support dropout regularization (or just doesn’t play nice with it). Follow the step-by-step instructions below to setup your Intel® Neural Compute Stick 2 (Intel® NCS 2) or the original Intel® Movidius™ NCS.
When running the install scripts for the Movidius it forcibly uninstalled previous versions of OpenCV on my system and then installed OpenCV 2.4. It appears that other users on the Oh. It’s amazing!. I’m getting an error when installingsudo apt-get install -y python3-pygraphviz python3-protobuf python3-network and will get the following errorE: Unable to locate package python3-pygraphvizI’ve done and apt-get update and upgrade as suggested by others who have seen similiar issues, but still can’t seem to install these packages. If I have time I’ll try to get it to work with a TensorFlow SSD + MobileNet.
