DepthAI’s documentation

Learn about DepthAI ecosystem, available devices, calibration instructions, and more

DepthAI is the embedded spatial AI platform that helps you build products with true real-time 3D object localization (think 3D object detection) and tracking. DepthAI offloads AI, depth vision and more - processed direct from built-in cameras - freeing your host to process application-specific data. Best of all, it is modular and MIT-licensed open source, affording adding these Spatial AI/CV super powers to real commercial products.

Available interfaces

Luxonis Github Repositories

Core Repositories

depthai-python	Here you’ll find Python bindings creating the Python API of DepthAI
depthai-core	Our core API written in C++
depthai-shared	This repository contains shared data between our main firmware and depthai-core host library.
depthai_ros2	DepthAI ROS2 Wrapper. This is an attempt at basic DepthAI to ROS2| interface. It’s largely leveraging the existing depthai python demo on https://github.com/luxonis/depthai.
depthai-spi-api	API of the SPI protocol
depthai-spi-library	DepthAI SPI Library
depthai-bootloader-shared	The depthai-bootloader-shared repository contains shared data between our bootloader firmware and depthai-core host library.
depthai-hardware	This repository contains Luxonis open sourced baseboards, and contains Altium design files, documentation, and pictures to help you understand more about the embedded hardware that powers DepthAI.

Tools / Docs Repositories

depthai-docs-website	If you wan’t to contribute and update our docs, you can simply create a pull request.
depthai-gui	DepthAI GUI is a WYSIWYG tool that allows to create a custom DepthAI pipelines, run them and see the results - all in one tool.
depthai-ml-training	Here you can find repositories to help you connect your NN and create BLOBs.
depthai-tutorials	This repo contains source code for tutorials published on docs.luxonis.com.
blobconverter	Web-based tool to convert model into MyriadX blob
Factory-calibration-DepthAI	Factory Calibration (WIP); This package contains two ROS workspace one is for depthai capture and calibration node and another is for Interbotix ViperX 300 Robot Arm 6DOF (KIT-VIPX300-6DOF) arm bot control using moveit.
depthai-docker	This repository contains a Dockerfile, that allows you to run OpenVINO on DepthAI inside a Docker container.
depthai-mock	This tool allows you to record the packets produced by DepthAI device into your disk and then play them back again as they would be produced normally - but without actually running the DepthAI
sbr-util	Utility to view and manipulate SBR binary images

Demo Repositories

depthai	This repo contains a demo application, which can load different networks, create pipelines, record video, etc. This program includes an example of depth & CNN inference and ready to use models.
esp32-spi-message-demo	ESP32 reference app for interfacing with DepthAI over SPI
depthai-core-example	CMake example project which serves as a template on how to quickly get started with C++ and depthai library

Experiments Repositories:

depthai-experiments	In this repository, you’ll find various experiments using DepthAI. You can use those examples as a basis or a reference in your application.
remote-monitoring	Application that allows user to report an incident when a person or a car will be detected in specified zone.
