Using an Embedded Vision Processor to Build an Efficient Object Recognition System

Valeriy Kazantsev CAE, Synopsys Abstract Computer vision is a discipline that was established in the 1960s. With the advent of high-performance mobile computing platforms, we see rapid progress in computer vision capabilities. Machine vision is becoming embedded in highly integrated SoCs and expanding into emerging high-volume consumer applications such as home surveillance, games, and automotive safety. A major challenge in enabling mass adoption of embedded vision applications is providing the processing capability at a power and cost point low enough for mobile consumer applications, while maintaining sufficient flexibility to cater to rapidly evolving markets.
