OpenCV and Neural Network / AI Accelerators for Mobile Devices

edit

Hello all,

I'm trying to understand if we can expect any performance improvements (as in speed of inference / processing) in projects using OpenCV in mobile platforms that have or will have the existing and upcoming NN / AI accelerators such as the IphoneX's AI chip, Qualcomm's Neural Processing Units on the Snapdragon 835 / 845, PowerVR 2NX, etc. After days of searching online, it is not clear to me if OpenCL and hence OpenCV would be accelerated on such platforms out of the box. The prospect of being able to perform complex CV operations, such as the use of OpenCV's DNN module, taking advantage of any acceleration such chips offer is exciting.

Does anyone have any knowledge on the matter? Is OpenCV able to benefit from these chips via OpenCL acceleration?

I am more than happy to read more on the topic, I may have missed some online material out there. If you are aware of any resources, I would be grateful if you can point me to them.
