Welcome to the 2nd Online Computer Vision and Artificial Intelligence (OnCV&AI) workshop held Aug. 16th to 20th, 2021 with a focus on computer vision and AI using edge computing on OpenCV AI Kit (OAK) camera OAK-D.

The first workshop had 389 registered participants (app. 17% from Taiwan, another 23% from Asia, and 60% from the rest of the world). App.50% were students, 18% professors, and 40% worked outside of academia(some students/professors also work). The three talks and hackathon have been viewed over 1000 times combined on YouTube and Twitch, see
https://www.nordlinglab.org/workshop-oncvai-01/ We thank all participants and speakers for making it such a success.
For this second workshop, we proudly present:

1. Jarmo Alander, Professor of production automation at University of Vaasa in Finland, founding member of the Finnish Artificial Intelligence Society (FAIS), talking about “Interactive evolutionary design of image processing pipeline on an FPGA for a spectral camera” on Aug. 16th,16:00 (GMT+8).

2. Kelvin Liusiani, Computer Vision Engineer at VOOX in Singapore,talking about "Building AI Solution using Edge Computing? Why not?Person Detection on Intel NUC with OpenVINO" on Aug. 17th, 13:00 (GMT+8)

3. Niall O’ Mahony, Institute of Technology Tralee/Lero - the Science Foundation Ireland Research Centre for Software in Ireland, talking about “Types of Machine Learning Algorithms” on Aug. 19th, 16:00 (GMT+8)

4. The Hackathon, an interactive live exploration of spatial AI applications on the OAK-D camera based on suggestions from the speakers and audience on Aug. 20th, 10:00 to 12:00 (GMT+8).

Everything is streamed for free in English on YouTube and Twitch to you from the National Cheng Kung University (NCKU) in Tainan, Taiwan. Formore information and registration visit

This workshop is part of a series created for engineers and PhD/graduate students to explore online computer vision and artificial intelligence techniques on the OAK-D camera by the Nordling Lab @ NCKU. We are grateful to our sponsors—NCKU, OpenCV, Luxonis, Crowdhelix, and Taiwan Artificial Intelligence Association. Check out our upcoming workshops at
https://www.nordlinglab.org/workshops/
(Note that we are adding speakers up until a week before each workshop.)

Among the confirmed speakers for the later workshops, we would like to highlight:
* Gary Bradski, President of OpenCV and CSO of OpenCV.ai, USA
* Anna Petrovicheva, CTO of OpenCV, USA
* Anwaar Ulhaq, Lecturer and Deputy leader of Machine Vision and Digital Health Research Group at Charles Sturt University, Australia
* Alberto Speranzon, Tech. Fellow at Honneywell Aerospace, USA

Among the past speakers, we would like to highlight:
1. Brandon Giles, CEO of Luxonis, creator of the OAK-D camera, talking about “Commute Guardian - DepthAI's North Star” on July 27th, 09:00 (GMT+8).
2. Shih-wei Liao, Professor at the National Taiwan University, talking about "Certificateless aggregate signature for multi-level blockchain", i.e. how to use distributed ledger technology in the edge to secure the sensor data from e.g. OAK-D, on July 27th, 17:00 (GMT+8)
These and additional talks are available on YouTube and Twitch, see
