Advanages of using Inference Engine.

[Deepak_C_R]

Hi,

In the openvx_sample's there are are sample function which are not using Inference Engine for the inferences. (and in Inference engine samples directory they are using Inference Engine for the inference).

What are the advantages of using Inference Engine ?, When we need to use Inference Engine for inference ?.

Hi, 

The short version answer is that is it up to you- our product gives you 2 routes when dealing with inference, you can chose to use only MO and produce OpenVX code, that would represent the inference itself, and then need to complete the pre and post process functions with your own code. Or, you can decide you would like get the inference "whole package" and use MO & Inference Engine to get the final product of that inference. in that case, you can control the configuration of your output (for example, the number of results the inference should print) through the command to IE(Inference Engine).
