Support of ros openvino for Openvino toolkit 2020.3

[arunnarenthiran]

Hi,

Is Openvino toolkit 2020.3 compatible with the ros wrapper? I installed Openvino toolkit 2020.3 succesfully but when I try to clone ros_openvino and catkin_make, I have the following error.

"CMake Error at ros_openvino_toolkit/vino_core_lib/CMakeLists.txt:70 (message):
Please set ENV CPU_EXTENSION_LIB with 'export
CPU_EXTENSION_LIB=<path-to-libcpu_extension.so>'"

But I read that in the latest OpenVINO 2020.1 release, the CPU extensions library were removed as they were moved into the plugin and so it is not necessary to set CPU_EXTENSION_LIB. Should I have to downgrade my Opentoolkit to use the ros wrapper?

Thanks,

Arun

Hi @arunnarenthiran 

Intel Distribution of OpenVINO toolkit has not been officially validated with ROS frameworks. However, please take a look at these dedicated open source builds:
OpenVINO ROS - https://github.com/intel/ros_openvino_toolkit
OpenVINO ROS2 - https://github.com/intel/ros2_openvino_toolkit

Or as you have mentioned you could also test one of previously released Intel OpenVINO toolkit builds (e.g. 2019 R3 version) in which CPU extensions library was not yet embedded into the plugin.

Hope this helps.
Best regards, Max.

Is there a ROS package that supports both OpenVINO and HDDL?
