AMD OpenVX modules (amdovx-modules)

The OpenVX framework provides a mechanism to add new vision functions to OpenVX by 3rd party vendors. This project has below OpenVX modules and utilities to complement AMD OpenVX amdovx-core project.

• vx_nn: OpenVX neural network module that was built on top of MIOpen
• vx_loomsl: Radeon LOOM stitching library for live 360 degree video applications
• loom_shell: an interpreter to prototype 360 degree video stitching applications using a script
• vx_opencv: OpenVX module that implemented a mechanism to access OpenCV functionality as OpenVX kernels

Pre-requisites

• CPU: SSE4.1 or above CPU, 64-bit
• GPU: Radeon Professional Graphics Cards or Vega Family of Products (16GB required for vx_loomsl library)
  • Windows: install the latest drivers and OpenCL SDK download
  • Linux: install ROCm
• OpenCV 3 (optional) download for vx_opencv
  • Set OpenCV_DIR environment variable to OpenCV/build folder
• vx_nn dependencies on ROCm platform (optional)
  • rocm-cmake, MIOpenGEMM, MIOpen: requires build and install
  • protobuf: install libprotobuf-dev and protobuf-compiler
• git clone this project using --recursive option so that correct branch of the amdovx-core project is cloned automatically in the deps folder.

Refer to Wiki page for developer instructions.
