Inference Engine C-API

Introduction

The Inference Engine C-API is a C library based on the Inference Engine C++ library implementation. The C library provides an interface to read the Intermediate Representation, set the input and output formats, execute the model on devices and infer input data(images) and get a result.

Build Inference Engine C-API

Build on Linux* Systems

The software was validated on:

• Ubuntu* 18.04(64-bit) with default GCC* 7.4.0

Software Requirements

• [CMake]* 3.5 or higher
• GCC* 4.8 or higher to build the Inference Engine
• Install OpenVINO R3
• (Optional) [Install Intel® Graphics Compute Runtime for OpenCL™ Driver package 19.04.12237].

Install

• You can run the build.sh script or by cmake manually to install the IE C API. Install steps by cmake as fallows:

1. Create a build folder:

   mkdir build && cd build

2. In the created build directory, run cmake to fetch project dependencies and create Unix makefiles, then run make to build the project:

   cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
   make --jobs=$(nproc --all)

3. Run make install to install the library, default installation path is /usr/local

   sudo make install
