@endsphinxdirective

This section provides reference documents that guide you through developing your own deep learning applications with the OpenVINO™ toolkit. These documents will most helpful if you have first gone through the Get Started guide.

Converting and Preparing Models

With the [Model Downloader](@ref omz_tools_downloader) and Model Optimizer guides, you will learn to download pre-trained models and convert them for use with the OpenVINO™ toolkit. You can provide your own model or choose a public or Intel model from a broad selection provided in the Open Model Zoo.

Deploying Inference

The OpenVINO™ Runtime User Guide explains the process of creating your own application that runs inference with the OpenVINO™ toolkit. The API Reference defines the OpenVINO Runtime API for Python, C++, and C. The OpenVINO Runtime API is what you'll use to create an OpenVINO™ inference application, use enhanced operations sets and other features. After writing your application, you can use the Deployment with OpenVINO for deploying to target devices.

Tuning for Performance

The toolkit provides a Performance Optimization Guide and utilities for squeezing the best performance out of your application, including [Accuracy Checker](@ref omz_tools_accuracy_checker), [Post-Training Optimization Tool](@ref pot_README), and other tools for measuring accuracy, benchmarking performance, and tuning your application.

Graphical Web Interface for OpenVINO™ Toolkit

You can choose to use the [OpenVINO™ Deep Learning Workbench](@ref workbench_docs_Workbench_DG_Introduction), a web-based tool that guides you through the process of converting, measuring, optimizing, and deploying models. This tool also serves as a low-effort introduction to the toolkit and provides a variety of useful interactive charts for understanding performance.

Media Processing and Computer Vision Libraries

The OpenVINO™ toolkit also works with the following media processing frameworks and libraries:

• [Intel® Deep Learning Streamer (Intel® DL Streamer)](@ref openvino_docs_dlstreamer) — A streaming media analytics framework based on GStreamer, for creating complex media analytics pipelines optimized for Intel hardware platforms. Go to the Intel® DL Streamer documentation website to learn more.
• Intel® oneAPI Video Processing Library (oneVPL) — A programming interface for video decoding, encoding, and processing to build portable media pipelines on CPUs, GPUs, and other accelerators.

You can also add computer vision capabilities to your application using optimized versions of OpenCV.
