SB SDK is the software development kit of the SqueezeBrains A.I. Algorithms by FaberVision. SB stands for SqueezeBrains.
It includes:

SB Library, see SB Library
It is a library based on artificial intelligence algorithms for digital image processing
SB GUI, see SB GUI
It is an application based on the SB Library that allows the user to easily carry out all the operations with intuitive graphics to create an image processing project.

SB Library includes modules of two categories:

Shallow Learning based:
- Retina, a module for the detection of objects.
- Surface, a module for the detection of surface defects.
Deep Learning based:
- Deep Cortex, a module for image classification
- Deep Surface, a module for the advanced detection of surface defects

The SB Library includes:

SB dynamic library, see SB Library.
Deep Learning Framework, see SB Deep Learning Framework.
Deep learning Framework is an optional SB Library package for training and detection with Deep Cortex and Deep Surface deep learning modules.
SB_DL is the dynamic interface library between SB library and the deep learning framework.

The following image shows the structure of the SB SDK.
