20/20 Vision Hack

An IoT Evangelist in the Developer Enabling Team at Intel. His day job includes developing demo’s and teaching classes on Computer Vision, primarily for use in the Retail and Hospitality industries, including remote management and digital signage use cases. Stewart is focused on the S/W side of the ecosystem, guiding developers building inference at the edge applications in C/C++ and Python. He is an expert in the deployment of the Intel Distribution of OpenVINO™ Toolkit, Media Acceleration Reference Software, and the vPRO/AMT software solutions.

While not working at Intel, Stewart plays with cameras, and robots, and builds robots with cameras.

Bridget Martin focuses on enabling Intel partners to create and deploy analytics solutions specifically targeting manufacturing, utilities, oil and gas, logistics and building automation. She has spent the last 10 years in embedded hardware and software with particular focuses on analytics and security.

Matthew Formica runs Intel’s OpenVINO AI software product marketing efforts, helping developers and customers leverage Intel’s Edge AI developer tools. AI, especially computer vision related, is increasingly a part of use cases across the spectrum: defect detection on assembly lines, disease detection in medical equipment and shelf stocking notifications in retail stores to name just a few. Getting the best performance and ROI requires the right tools. With OpenVINO, developers can easily accelerate their inferencing solution performance by several times using the general purpose compute already built into their solutions, and using OpenVINO APIs they can write once and deploy across a wide range of Intel processors
