Prophesee and Brainchip working together to advance the adoption of neuromorphic Event Based Ai Vision Systems:
“BrainChip’s Akida technology demonstrates the possibilities of embedded AI. As part of its exhibition at Embedded World, the company will showcase the benefits of low-latency and ultra-low power consumption for gesture recognition using the Akida 2 FPGA platform in conjunction with the Prophesee EVK4 development camera. Unlike other approaches, the combination of Prophesee’s event-based vision sensors with Akida’s event-based computing can capture extremely high-speed movement with high sparsity so that only information relevant to the gesture is processed, enabling faster response times.These computer vision systems open new potential in areas such as autonomous vehicles, industrial automation, IoT, security and surveillance and AR/VR.
Integrating Prophesee event-based vision sensors with Akida’s event-based processing will enable the development of new, compact SWaP (Size, Weight, and Power) form factors, unlocking fresh product opportunities in the market.
“By combining our technologies, we can achieve ultra-high accuracy in a small form factor, empowering wearables and other power-constrained platforms to incorporate advanced video detection, classification, and tracking capabilities,” said Etienne Knauer, VP Sales & Marketing at Prophesee. “Processing our event-based sensor data streams efficiently leverages their sparse nature, reducing computational and memory demands in the final product.”
