The OAK-1-Lite Fixed Focus isn’t a standard USB camera. It’s a 4-trillion-operations-per-second AI powerhouse that performs your AI models on-board, so that your host is free to do whatever you need it to do. Its integrated 12 MegaPixel camera module communicates over an on-board 2.1 Gbps MIPI interface directly to the Myriad X, which ingests this data and performs neural inference on it, returning the results over USB. Such a data path offloads the host processor from all of this work. In the common use case of object detection from a 12MP image, this means your host is now dealing with a 24 Kbps stream of what the objects are and where they are in the image, instead of a 2.1 Gbps stream of video. So an 8,750,000% reduction in data your host has to deal with. And such a reduction means that even on relatively-slow hosts, one can use dozens of OAK-1 without burdening the host CPU.

Benefits

• 4 TOPS of processing power (1.4 TOPS for AI)
• Run any AI model, even custom architectured/built ones
• Fixed-Focus is recommended for heavy-vibration applications (e.g., drones, lawnmowers, bikes w/out suspension, etc.
• Clearly see objects beyond 50 cm, working between 50 cm and infinity
• Stereo depth perception with filtering, post-processing, RGB-depth alignment, and high configurability
• 2D and 3D tracking with ObjectTracker node
• Great for industrial automation, robotics, surveillance IP camera, security systems, remote intelligence etc.
