Hi, is it possible use NCS-2 (Myriad X VPU) for general computer vision tasks such as sobel filtering using G-API?

OpenVINO is supporting G-API, but I’m wondering if it’s possible to run the compiled pipelines by G-API on NCS2 VPU.  
[https://docs.openvinotoolkit.org/latest/openvino\_docs\_gapi\_kernel\_api.html](https://docs.openvinotoolkit.org/latest/openvino_docs_gapi_kernel_api.html)

I understand usual OpenCV function will not be accelerated with NCS2 as discussed in  
[https://answers.opencv.org/question/211341/can-i-use-ncs2-vpu-myriad-x-for-acceleration-cvstereobm/](https://answers.opencv.org/question/211341/can-i-use-ncs2-vpu-myriad-x-for-acceleration-cvstereobm/)

But it will be nice if it’s possible to run G-API pipelines created by combining simple operations from imgproc modules on NCS2 so we can use NCS2 for edge detection or for projection of 3D points.
