High-level Video Analytics PC Subsystem - Computer Vision Engine and Heterogeneous Multi-core SoC

摘要

The High-level video analytics PC sub-system as PCIe add-in card had been developed for surveillance, retail marketing tool and various applications which require acceleration of computer vision analytics for real-time video. The PC subsystem has multi-core architecture SoC, which comprises proposed Computer Vision Engine (CVE) based on pre-processor, target detector, and target tracker. The target detector has the capability of on-line learning from images so that it can give a robustness of tracking targets. Heterogeneous structure with the CPU and CVE accelerator achieves performance at 3500GOPS, and power efficiency at 1871GOPS/W, it is approximately 10x higher performance and 3x higher efficiency than other SoC.
