In ROSCon 2019, OpenVINO toolkit was introduced to accelerate deep learning based robotic vision algorithms. However, traditional algorithms are still generally used in many robotic systems.
This time, we introduce oneAPI Toolkit to accelerate 3D object pose detection in Point Cloud Library and nearest neighbors searching in FLANN. The acceleration results are verified on the integrated GPU of Intel’s Gen 11 Core platform with parallel processing units. The example application for bolt pose detection and picking is available in the open source project ROS2 Grasp Library.
