Ann: Commercial Hardware Acceleration Board Released, page-24

They've got it down to 20 x 20 pixels! That's a huge improvement on the astounding 26 x 26 pixels that the software manages. Bloody awesome achievement.

"The system learns from a single low-resolution image, which can be as small as 20 x 20 pixels, and excels in recognition in low-light, low-resolution, noisy environments.

As the first commercial implementation of a hardware-accelerated spiking neural network system, BrainChip Accelerator is a significant milestone in the development of neuromorphic computing"

and this:

"Scaling images up and down increases the probability of finding objects"

and this:

"Christoph Fritsch, Senior Director for industrial, scientific and medical business at Xilinx, added, “Xilinx is at the forefront of artificial intelligence acceleration. BrainChip’s spiking neural network technology is unique in its ability to provide outstanding performance while avoiding the math intensive, power hungry, and high-cost downsides of deep learning in convolutional neural networks.”"

Big money in medical imaging.
