Vitis Vision Library

Computer Vision and Image Processing are ubiquitous today in a wide range of applications like Medical Imaging, ADAS, Robotics, IIoT, Surveillance, and Video Streaming services and are also a critical part of the end-to-end processing pipeline of AI-powered vision solutions. These applications demand a solution that can meet real-time performance and flexibility to manage a range of frame resolutions and adaptable throughput requirements (1080p60 to 8K60), while being power-efficient. The architecture of Xilinx platforms provides the ideal solution to meet your vision system requirements, both at the edge and in the data center.

Vitis™ Vision library enables you to develop and deploy accelerated computer vision and image processing applications on Xilinx platforms, while continuing to work at an application level.  These library functions offer a familiar interface like the OpenCV libraries and have been optimized for performance and resource utilization on Xilinx platforms. They also offer the flexibility to meet the adaptable throughput requirements of your vision systems.
