Skill Market Overview

After you register a device, you can purchase skills from the skill market of Huawei HiLens and install them to your device to enable AI capabilities. For example, if you install a facial recognition skill on your device, your device can recognize faces.

Skill

A skill is an AI application ready to run on a camera or another computing device. It consists of a model and logic code. The logic code is the skill's framework that governs how the skill behaves, including data reading, model import, model inference, and result output. The model is an AI algorithm trained using big data and handles inference while the skill is running.

The Skill Market of Huawei HiLens provides extensive skills for users.

  • The application scenarios for HiLens skills include smart campus, smart home, smart vehicle-mounted terminals, smart shopping mall, and more.
  • Skills are classified into two types by device: skills for Ascend chips and skills for HiSilicon Hi35xx series chips.

Skill Classification

As shown in the following figure, Huawei HiLens skills are classified into two types based on the chip types: skills used on HiLens Kit devices and skills used on devices that run HiSilicon Hi35xx series chips. The Huawei HiLens platform supports quick, convenient, and efficient skill development with skill templates, and also allows you to develop models and logic code to meet your specific requirements in more scenarios.

HiSilicon Hi35xx series chips have low memory and performance. Therefore, you need to optimize models of skills oriented to this type of chips. If you want to develop skills of this type, contact Huawei HiLens platform personnel for support.
