SynSense and Prophesee, two leading neuromorphic technology companies, have announced a partnership that will see them develop ultra-low-power solutions for implementing intelligence on the edge for event-based vision applications.
In one chip, the partnership will combine SynSense’s low-power vision SNN processor DYNAP-CNN® with Prophesee’s event-based Metavision® sensors and is focused on developing a line of cost-efficient modules that can be manufactured at high volume.
On the second day of VISION Messe Stuttgart, the four representatives of the organisations vying for the VISION Award 2021 took their place on the stage. Imaging and Machine Vision Europe’s Publishing Director, Warren Clark appeared via video link above the stage to oversee the proceedings.
Prophesee today announced the release of OpenEB, a set of key open-source software modules and a set of new Event-Based Machine Learning solutions. The new products are aimed at optimizing ML training and inference for event-based applications, including optical flow and object detection. In addition, the company is offering the industry’s largest HD Event-Based dataset to developers as a free download.
This latest release of the company’s Metavision® Intelligence Suite includes an expanded set of development tools and software for designing industrial vision systems that leverage the performance and efficiency of Event-Based Vision. The suite now includes close to 100 algorithms, 67 code samples and 11 use-case specific application modules that accelerate the development process.
The open-source modules of OpenEB are available through Github and allow designers to build custom plugins and ensure compatibility with the Metavision Intelligence Suite for developing event-based systems. It also provides a platform for developers to share software components across what they call the “machine vision ecosystem”.
The event contained many highlights, including an excellent final day keynote speech from Andrew Ng on end-to-end workflow to build deep learning-powered visual inspection. Having scoured every product and booth on display, we thought we’d leave you with the top three exhibitors we visited.
Inspired by human vision, Paris-based Prophesee says its technology uses a patented sensor design and AI algorithms that mimic the eye and brain to reveal what was invisible until now using standard frame-based technology. They call this design event-based vision, offering technology that is “fundamentally different from the traditional image sensors” and a “paradigm shift in computer vision.”
Prophesee’s machine vision systems can operate in areas such as autonomous vehicles, industrial automation, IoT, security and surveillance, and AR/VR. One early application was in medical devices that restore vision to the blind. Using the booth as a base from which to showcase its event-based vision technology, some of the products included the Metavision® Packaged Sensor, the Century Arks Silkyevcam and the Image Visioncam EB, both of which are powered by Prophesee.
In 2019, inVision added Prophesee’s event-based vision reference system Onboard, to their “Top Innovation” list. More recently, it was announced that FRAMOS, a leading supplier of embedded vision solutions and 3D cameras for industrial applications, had become a global distribution and ecosystem partner for Prophesee’s Metavision® line of advanced vision products.
