# LuxonisML

## Overview

[LuxonisML](https://github.com/luxonis/luxonis-ml) is an open-source library of support tools and helper functions for the Luxonis
MLOps stack. Essentially, it's responsible for creating and interacting with datasets in the Luxonis Data Format (LDF),
supporting:

 * dataset creation, management, and export
   ([LuxonisDataset](https://docs.luxonis.com/software-v3/ai-inference/model-source/training/luxonis-ml/luxonis-dataset.md)),
 * datasets parsing from common dataset formats
   ([LuxonisParser](https://docs.luxonis.com/software-v3/ai-inference/model-source/training/luxonis-ml/luxonis-parser.md)), and
 * datasets loading for a seamless utilization with
   [LuxonisTrain](https://docs.luxonis.com/software-v3/ai-inference/model-source/training/luxonis-train.md)
   ([LuxonisLoader](https://docs.luxonis.com/software-v3/ai-inference/model-source/training/luxonis-ml/luxonis-loader.md)).

Moreover, it defines the [NN Archive](https://docs.luxonis.com/software-v3/ai-inference/nn-archive.md), a standardized format of
packaging AI models used throughout the Luxonis ecosystem.
