iCatch have been working with Prophesee and Sony to develop their SoC. Maybe ( hope ) we are involved. What car maker?

iCatch Technology provides driver monitoring system (DMS) solutions

As electric vehicle and ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System) continue to penetrate the market, iCatch Technology also has been investing lots of resources in imaging-based ADAS technology and business development. How do you ensure that the driver is still paying attention to the road...

iCatch Technology provides driver monitoring system (DMS) solutions​

iCatch's Intelligent Imaging SoC has been selected by a leading European car maker as the core processor of its DMS and has already entered mass production.

iCatch has co-developed EVS-based intelligent vision processing system with Sony Semiconductor Solutions (SSS) and Prophesee. When this solution is applied to DMS application, not only can it track driver's gaze and alertness with high accuracy and fast response rate using the embedded deep learning accelerator but also can protect driver's privacy.

Considering our great mutual partnership with Prophesee would we naturally be involved with this partnership or are iCatch only using Prophesee in another way…I’m confused here . This article from May but noting now that this chip has recently been mass produced into a European car manufacturer for their driver monitoring system.

Now iCatch has collaborated with Prophesee on Event-based Metavision sensing projects that integrated iCatch’s V57 AI vision processor with the new Sony Semiconductor Solutions (“SSS”) stacked Event-based Vision Sensor IMX636, realized in collaboration between SSS and Prophesee.
iCatch built the OpenMVCam development platform for all algorithm partners and ODM customers to design a variety of AI products, systems and applications on many market segments like surveillance, smart healthcare, in-cabin monitor system, smart home, industrial automation, smart city and so on.

SSS’s Event-based Vision Sensor can be the input source for iCatch AI vision processor, based on iCatch built-in NPU acceleration engine and proprietary CV processing hardware engine. It can integrate Prophesee Metavision Intelligence SDK and other 3rd party’s machine vision algorithms to support end customers’ AI vision applications such as DMS and OMS in automotive in-cabin, patient/elder fall detection in home healthcare and hospitals, intruder detection in home surveillance, anomaly detection in industrial automation, gesture control in smart home appliance, eye tracking in AR/VR and so on.

That would mean that institutions and mutual funds have now acquired approx 196 million shares (~11.5% of shares on issue).

I just worked out why Blind Freddie was so dismissive of my question. It was because of this statement by Douglas Fairbairn Director of Business Development for MegaChips USA:

“What people have found is that the existing processors from ARM or RISC-V do not address the power performance requirements of the AI industry.”

It of course makes clear why ARM and SiFive both jumped virtually together to announce partnerships with Brainchip.

It was so they could “address the power performance requirements of the Ai industry.”

Now I get it.

Blind Freddie shakes his head and walks away.

Hey FF , would you consider attending the Sydney Uni New Ro Mor Phick event to help the class grasp the significance of our latest patent grant?

A UVA Researcher is working on smart image sensor system which mimics the human eye. I wonder who's neuromorphic chip he's using? It states "A software and hardware co-designed artificial neural network completes the sensor system. An artificial synapse, called the memristor, moves pre-processed sensory inputs to the brain of the system, a neuromorphic chip that can perform high-level signal processing."

Sorry if mention before..........but is it diffrent to Akida IP?

Hi @stockduck

I don’t know how they do it but what they do is nowhere up to the Brainchip AKIDA standard of 1,000 times more energy efficient than a GPU at uni watts and milli watts of power:

“Smaller than the size of a credit card, the P1600 operates with 50x lower memory bandwidth, 7 W of power at 16 TOPS, 10x lower latency, and 30x better efficiency than legacy GPUs – opening doors to previously unfeasible”

Beware of wolves in sheep clothing particularly when running at the Edge.

PS: A little bird has told me only this morning that the huge advantage of SNN Edge computing is finally gaining real traction in the academic world. Making every sensor smart is becoming a sensible mainstream idea.

Leaving aside the pretenders there is one company waiting in a climbing hammock on the cliff face for the World to arrive.

Thank you fact finder for your evaluation, I was a little unsecure because they tell about 7 W for the hole system P 1600 and not the single chip on board of the system.....I don`t know.

Apologies if previously published.

I found this video of tinyML Neuromorphic Engineering Forum, Systems Session from 9th October. Much of it is a little over my head, however Anil Mankar speaks from the 31m 50s part.



One particular part of his talk centered around power consumption, and it highlights that the time is now up to continue using power hungry systems:

Nice quote from Andrew Carnegie going forward fellow chippers.

"And while the law of competition may be sometimes hard for the individual, it is best for the race, because it ensures the survival of the fittest in every department".

Not that we have any real competition

A little birdie told me that it is a big deal for this Professor to come out of the closet in favour of SNN technology, supporting the shifting of compute to the Edge by making every sensor smart and criticising the old school 500 watt guzzling Dojo built by Tesla as the redundant past dinosaur type thinking that has no place in the future.

He is also completely independent of Brainchip.

ANNOUNCEMENT !!!!

BrainChip Strengthens Patent Portfolio • BrainChip acquires previously licenced JAST learning rule technology, including licenced patents

Patents Acquisition of Prior Licensed Technology from Toulouse Tech Transfer (“TTT” or “Licensor”): In 2017, BrainChip acquired an exclusive licence for the JAST learning rule and algorithms from French technology transfer-based company TTT. The JAST learning rule and algorithms were developed by Brain and Cognition Research Centre (CERCO), a preeminent public research lab based in Toulouse, France (CNRS/Université Toulouse III Paul Sabatier laboratory), and the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), the largest public research institution in Spain and one of the most renowned institutions in the European Research Area. BrainChip has now acquired full ownership of the IP rights related to the JAST learning rule and algorithms and terminated the licence agreement. Some highlights of the transaction: • BrainChip acquired patents/patent applications - EP3324344 (issued), US2019/0286944 (pending) and EP3324343 (pending). The formalities related to the assignment of these patents/patent applications at the corresponding patent offices will take place soon. • BrainChip paid a one-off fee of €250,000 to acquire the patents/patent applications and terminate the licence agreement. With this, BrainChip has no further obligations to the licensor and expects cost savings in the long run by owning the IP. • BrainChip believes the pending patent applications, once issued, will protect a broad level of learning algorithms, providing competitive advantages to the Company
