Intel Neural Compute Stick 2 (NCS2) Development Kit
Intel NCS2 Neural Compute Stick 2
The Neural Compute Stick 2 (NCS2) is a USB stick which offers you access to neural network functionality, without the need for large, expensive hardware. It enables you to incorporate computer vision and artificial intelligence (AI) to your IoT and edge devices. Neural network is a way in which we are able to teach machines to learn like humans.
The Intel NCS2 is based on the Intel Movidius(TM) Myriad(TM) VPU which has a dedicated hardware accelerator for DNN interference. The NCS2 is supported by the OpenVINO(TM) Toolkit.
This is the perfect tool for developers, data scientists, industrial engineers, AI engineers and academics.
How does it work?
The Neural Compute Stick 2 has a USB 2.0 connector which is inserted into your host device, for example a PC, laptop or single board computer (SBC). It is a plug-and-play device so you are ready to start prototyping right away.
The OpenVINO(TM) Toolkit is there to help you accelerate your deep neural network designs and ideas. It is a high performance, high-efficiency, open-source platform which offers compatibility across different platforms.

NCS1 vs. NCS2
The Neural Compute Stick 2 is the latest model from Intel. The main difference between the two models is that the NCS1 uses the Myriad 2 VPU while the NCS2 uses the Myriad X VPU.
What is it capable of?
The NCS2 development tool is a means to enabling your imagination. The functionality of this tool can be used to recognise faces, objects or even emotions from an image input. This categorisation of data can then be converted into an action.
For example, Australia's Little Ripper Lifesaver UAV used the Intel NCS to monitor the New South Wales coastline and identify sharks. This data provided immediate danger detection and enabled more response time.
What is the Neural Network?
Neural networks, also referred to as deep learning, is a type of machine learning that enables us to organise and categorise data from image and video analytics. Deep neural networks (DNN) are slightly more complex, with a minimum of 2 layers.
It works by using a series of algorithms which reflect aspects of how our brain functions. They identify correlations in data and use this to group items together. Neural networks are able to organise data that is not labelled or structured beforehand.
An example of neural network is to detect people's faces from images and video. Going one step further, the neural network could also be used to detect their emotion.

Warranty
Without prejudice and to the extent allowed by the Trade Practices Act 1974, The Australian Consumer Law and Competition and Consumer Act 2010, all hardware sold by MAD Electronics Australia is covered by one year limited warranty and is also backed by Australian manufacturer warranty. Where the manufacturer warranty period exceeds one year, we will advise the customer to contact the manufacturer directly for warranty support after the first year of purchase. Due to the nature of consumables products and software, they are not returnable or refundable items.
Any defective products purchased from MAD Electronics Australia and affiliates that fall within the warranty period provided will be covered, unless they fall within the following conditions:
· Physical Damage on the product not caused in the event during transit or Dead on Arrival (DOA) but caused due to mishandling, incorrect use of product for its purposes, improper installation of product, by accident, insect or vermin infestation, improper method or failure to maintain service and handle the item with reasonable care.
· The product has been modified using unauthorised methods. Any modifications on the product including physical and software modifications using third party unauthorised software such as third party firmware updates will void the warranty of products.
· The warranty seal or serial number of the item has been tampered with.
· The item has been serviced by another party other than madelectronics
· Consequential loss including but not limited to data, programs, software or other information stored on storage products, computer or laptop systems.
· Software
Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. You are entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure and compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. You are also entitled to have the goods repaired or replaced if the goods fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure.
