OpenVINO Inference API contains two folders:
- ie - legacy API, this API is no longer being developed,
- openvino - current public API, this part is described below.
Public OpenVINO Inference API defines global header openvino/openvino.hpp which includes all common OpenVINO headers. All Inference components are placed inside the openvino/runtime folder.
To learn more about the Inference API usage, read How to integrate OpenVINO with your application. The diagram with dependencies is presented on the OpenVINO Architecture page.
OpenVINO Developer API is required for OpenVINO plugin development. This process is described in the OpenVINO Plugin Development Guide.
