Notice that the FPGA support comes through a heterogeneous execution, for example, when the post-processing is happening on the CPU.
To be able to build demos you need to source InferenceEngine and OpenCV environment from a binary package which is available as proprietary distribution.
Please run the following command before the demos build (assuming that the binary package was installed to <INSTALL_DIR>):
source <INSTALL_DIR>/deployment_tools/bin/setupvars.shYou can also build demos manually using Inference Engine built from the openvino repo. In this case please set InferenceEngine_DIR environment variable to a folder containing InferenceEngineConfig.cmake and ngraph_DIR to a folder containing ngraphConfig.cmake in a build folder. Please also set the OpenCV_DIR to point to the OpenCV package to use. The same OpenCV version should be used both for Inference Engine and demos build. Alternatively these values can be provided via command line while running cmake. See CMake's search procedure.
Please refer to the Inference Engine build instructions
for details. Please also add path to built Inference Engine libraries to LD_LIBRARY_PATH (Linux*) or PATH (Windows*) variable before building the demos.
The officially supported Linux* build environment is the following:
- Ubuntu* 16.04 LTS 64-bit or CentOS* 7.4 64-bit
- GCC* 5.4.0 (for Ubuntu* 16.04) or GCC* 4.8.5 (for CentOS* 7.4)
- CMake* version 2.8 or higher.
To build the demo applications for Linux, go to the directory with the build_demos.sh script and
run it:
build_demos.shYou can also build the demo applications manually:
- Navigate to a directory that you have write access to and create a demos build directory. This example uses a directory named
build:
mkdir build- Go to the created directory:
cd build- Run CMake to generate the Make files for release or debug configuration:
- For release configuration:
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release <open_model_zoo>/demos- For debug configuration:
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug <open_model_zoo>/demos- Run
maketo build the demos:
makeFor the release configuration, the demo application binaries are in <path_to_build_directory>/intel64/Release/;
for the debug configuration — in <path_to_build_directory>/intel64/Debug/.
The recommended Windows* build environment is the following:
- Microsoft Windows* 10
- Microsoft Visual Studio* 2015, 2017, or 2019
- CMake* version 2.8 or higher
NOTE: If you want to use Microsoft Visual Studio 2019, you are required to install CMake 3.14.
To build the demo applications for Windows, go to the directory with the build_demos_msvc.bat
batch file and run it:
build_demos_msvc.batBy default, the script automatically detects the highest Microsoft Visual Studio version installed on the machine and uses it to create and build
a solution for a demo code. Optionally, you can also specify the preferred Microsoft Visual Studio version to be used by the script. Supported
versions are: VS2015, VS2017, VS2019. For example, to build the demos using the Microsoft Visual Studio 2017, use the following command:
build_demos_msvc.bat VS2017The demo applications binaries are in the C:\Users\<username>\Documents\Intel\OpenVINO\omz_demos_build_build\intel64\Release directory.
You can also build a generated solution by yourself, for example, if you want to
build binaries in Debug configuration. Run the appropriate version of the
Microsoft Visual Studio and open the generated solution file from the C:\Users\<username>\Documents\Intel\OpenVINO\omz_demos_build\Demos.sln
directory.
Some of the Python demo applications require native Python extension modules to be built before they can be run.
This requires you to have Python development files (headers and import libraries) installed.
To build these modules, follow the instructions for building the demo applications above,
but add -DENABLE_PYTHON=ON to either the cmake or the build_demos* command, depending on which you use.
For example:
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DENABLE_PYTHON=ON <open_model_zoo>/demosBefore running compiled binary files, make sure your application can find the Inference Engine and OpenCV libraries.
If you use a proprietary distribution to build demos,
run the setupvars script to set all necessary environment variables:
source <INSTALL_DIR>/bin/setupvars.shIf you use your own Inference Engine and OpenCV binaries to build the demos please make sure you have added them
to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable.
(Optional): The OpenVINO environment variables are removed when you close the shell. As an option, you can permanently set the environment variables as follows:
- Open the
.bashrcfile in<user_home_directory>:
vi <user_home_directory>/.bashrc- Add this line to the end of the file:
source <INSTALL_DIR>/bin/setupvars.sh- Save and close the file: press the Esc key, type
:wqand press the Enter key. - To test your change, open a new terminal. You will see
[setupvars.sh] OpenVINO environment initialized.
To run Python demo applications that require native Python extension modules, you must additionally
set up the PYTHONPATH environment variable as follows, where <bin_dir> is the directory with
the built demo applications:
export PYTHONPATH="$PYTHONPATH:<bin_dir>/lib"You are ready to run the demo applications. To learn about how to run a particular demo, read the demo documentation by clicking the demo name in the demo list above.
Before running compiled binary files, make sure your application can find the Inference Engine and OpenCV libraries.
Optionally download OpenCV community FFmpeg plugin. There is a downloader script in the OpenVINO package: <INSTALL_DIR>\opencv\ffmpeg-download.ps1.
If you use a proprietary distribution to build demos,
run the setupvars script to set all necessary environment variables:
<INSTALL_DIR>\bin\setupvars.batIf you use your own Inference Engine and OpenCV binaries to build the demos please make sure you have added
to the PATH environment variable.
To run Python demo applications that require native Python extension modules, you must additionally
set up the PYTHONPATH environment variable as follows, where <bin_dir> is the directory with
the built demo applications:
set PYTHONPATH=%PYTHONPATH%;<bin_dir>To debug or run the demos on Windows in Microsoft Visual Studio, make sure you
have properly configured Debugging environment settings for the Debug
and Release configurations. Set correct paths to the OpenCV libraries, and
debug and release versions of the Inference Engine libraries.
For example, for the Debug configuration, go to the project's
Configuration Properties to the Debugging category and set the PATH
variable in the Environment field to the following:
PATH=<INSTALL_DIR>\deployment_tools\inference_engine\bin\intel64\Debug;<INSTALL_DIR>\opencv\bin;%PATH%
where <INSTALL_DIR> is the directory in which the OpenVINO toolkit is installed.
You are ready to run the demo applications. To learn about how to run a particular demo, read the demo documentation by clicking the demo name in the demos list above.
