OpenCV OAK Course?

DrewBarfield

I'll be completing the "Open CV for Beginners" course shortly and would like to suggest/request a course that focuses on OAK. More specifically, creating NNs from scratch, training, optimizations, creating pipelines, converting existing NNs to be OAK compatible, and deploying and maintaining multiple OAK devices throughout a home or business.

Sounds to me like a win-win for everyone.

Hello @DrewBarfield , we did actually make OAK crash course with OpenCV that you should check out. I am not sure if it covers all the topics in-depth as you mentioned, but should be a good starting point.

erik I heard that the OAK crash course was outdated due to the evolving depthAI API. Has it been updated to use the latest API?

Hi erik Is there any news on the Roboflow course stretch goal for the D-Lite kickstarters (such as a release date, etc)? I couldn't find anything in the kickstarter updates or forums, but apologies if I've missed it.

Cheers,
Harry.

Great minds think alike! 😀

nalzok actually the course was already updated to the gen2 of our library (API). There might not be everything there (as we have improved our library a lot) but it's not outdated.
Thanks, Erik

You mention a crash course. I'd like to see a simple one for say using OAK D just as a backup camera from a phone. Essentially all I am looking for is a portable camera that I can access from my phone that I can ....for example stick on the back of the tailgate of the truck and use to back up to a trailer.

Hello travisz , so we just added Android support recently, link here. So you can connect camera directly to your Android phone.
Thanks, Erik

erik anything in the works for IOS or is there an app on IOS that I could use? Just want the camera to be able to be stuck on the back of the vehicle and then able to be seen when needed for backup up a trailer 🙂 .

I was doing this with a Pi camera before, but resolution and angle were not the best.

travisz we don't have iOS support (yet), as no one from our team is iOS developer, and you need license ($$) to be able to use USB connector that's why no one from community has developed it yet. You could also connect OAK to a RPi/Jetson or some other SBC 🙂
