And that is why Sony working with Qualcomm is so significant it means that the Prophesee Brainchip solution will not just be in Sony phones.

Pretty simple equation:

Brainchip + Prophesee + Sony + Qualcomm + Samsung = large share of market.

And while Apple iPhones have ruled the latest 14 has had an underwhelming market reception because it offers users and fans nothing new. So much press and analysis around this fact it is hard to know how anyone could have missed it.

My opinion only DYOR or read what others posted here today proving the above connections.

Phone sales in general have seen quite a decline in 2022. People are keeping their phones longer than they use to. But I won’t keep harping on about this topic.

I want our success in smartphones like everyone else here. Just ones of those days where I took my rose tinted glasses off for a minute.

We Zoom In on the Google Pixel 7 Pro’s Camera​

Asha Barbaschow - 1h ago


During Made By Google this morning, the search giant unveiled its new flagship Pixel phones, giving us the rundown of what you can get when you mix Google software with Google hardware. The camera system on the Pixel 7 and 7 Pro phones don't appear to be too different from their predecessors, but when you zoom in, you see the new Google Tensor G2 chip working its magic.

As is always the case with Google, one super cool feature has piqued our interest in particular around the Pixel camera, and with the 7 Pro, it’s Photo Unblur.

The Google Pixel 7 and 7 Pro come packed with Google’s Tensor G2 chip, which powers all of the smarts behind the scenes. Such smarts include Face Unblur and now, Photo Unblur.

With the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro phones, Google introduced Face Unblur, which, as it says on the tin, brought the capability to unblur a person’s face in a photo after it was captured. Expanding on that tech this year, Google is using a new type of machine learning model to unblur more photos.

This has been added to Google Photos so you can unblur photos that have been taken in the past – they don’t even need to have been captured on a Google/Android device.

This runs on-device through a special optimisation on Google Tensor.

Just sayin'.

The google unblur is not the same as the Prophesee unblur patent I posted yesterday ( WO2021259994A1 IMAGE ENHANCEMENT METHOD, APPARATUS AND SYSTEM) because the patent requires simultaneous capture of the frame image and the DVS data.

Late edition:
This is the Google unblur patent:
WO2022104180A1 SYSTEMS, APPARATUS, AND METHODS FOR REMOVING BLUR IN AN IMAGE

Systems, apparatus, and methods are presented for deblurring images. One method includes receiving an image and estimating blur for the image. The method also includes applying a deblurring filter to the image and reducing halo from the image.

[0033] The image processing system 202 may receive an input image. The input image may be processed by the pre-filter module 202 to reduce or remove noise from the image. For example, the pre-filter module 204 can denoise the input image to generate a noise-reduced image. The pre-filter module 204 may include a non-local means filtering to reduce or remove noise from the input image. In other embodiments, the pre-filter module 204 may use a denoising neural network (e.g., a convolutional neural network, or other suitable neural network) to remove or reduce the noise from the input image. In such cases, the denoising neural network can be trained by inputting multiple noisy versions of images together with clean versions of the same images. Using the known inputs (noisy images) and the known outputs (clean images), the denoising neural network can tune its parameters (e.g., weights, biases, etc.) to be able to output clean images (the noise-reduced images) from noisy images that are input into the neural network. The resulting noise-reduced images can have no noise or may still have some noise, but the noise may be greatly reduced by the denoising neural network.

Following on from the terrible result for Tesla when the test car phoughed into a little girl mannequin a few weeks ago, the other car in the test had 'Luminar' written on the bonnet. I just want to check with our brains trust if we think there is any link between us and Luminar?

As the Qualcomm CEO left Sony off this slide I thought I should bring @ForestofHope ‘s early post forward:

“Dec 4, 2021

‘Smartphone processor manufacturer Qualcomm has teamed up with leading smartphone CMOS sensor maker Sony Semiconductor to provide better integration between their two systems for future smartphone development. And this isn’t just an on-paper partnership, they’ve actually moved teams into the same building to work alongside each other for future smartphone development.

While there aren’t a lot of public details out there regarding the partnership yet, Sony is moving a team into Qualcomm’s San Diego headquarters. And in the announcement during the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1announcement Qualcomm mentioned three specific benefits relating to smartphone cameras that are expected to be gained from the partnership with Sony.’

Always interesting what is left off presentations by companies or should I say the questions it raises create the interest.

The following is from the above article. Wearing non rose coloured glasses the three points make sense if Sony or Qualcomm have had a breakthrough such as the Prophesee Brainchip sensor suddenly dropping in their lap and they wanting to steal a leap over the competition:

“The first is to be able to speed up the development process of Snapdragon 8 devices. With the two leaders in their field working literally side-by-side, Qualcomm’s plan seems to be to improve its image signal processing technology – which would make sense, given how much of smartphone photography is computational these days.

Secondly, it will allow for less red tape between the two companies to access and test each other’s new technologies. This means easier and quicker prototype development with each other’s new technologies and to even develop joint prototypes together. Being under the same roof in the same lab means that such activities should be much more efficient than if they were separate, resulting in more innovation more often.

Finally, it will allow both companies to more rapidly test as well as leverage each other’s experience to more rapidly develop and improve the camera technology that’s become such a big selling point in smartphones today. It means faster iteration cycles, more optimised architecture and compatibility between components from the two companies and tighter integration for an overall smoother and more seamless working experience. It’ll also mean that new technology can come to the market more quickly”

My opinion only but being announced by Sony and Qualcomm in December, 2021 fits perfectly in the time line of Prophesee discovering the missing half of their revolutionary groundbreaking solution.

Certainly does fit nicely, especially as we know via @chapman89 that Prophesee and Brainchip were mates by then.

 

[Fact Finder]

At 2.38pm a total of just over one sixth of one percent of shares on issue have traded today.

This even includes the CXXT movement of single collector edition Brainchip shares.

If it gets any tighter shorts will have to ask Brainchip to issue more shares to create volume. ’s

The significance of this Prophesee podcast might be finally seeping out into the world.

I was re-reading back through this Qualcomm blog on quanitisation (link below). One of the authors is Timjen Blankevoort (Director of Engineering Technologies Netherlands).

Blankevoort is quite an unusual name and I remembered seeing it before on this BrainChip Source Code for cnn@snn.

So, ummm, yeah. Not sure what that means actually.

Since @uiux is in stealth mode, I'll have a stab.

Looks like the program used in cnn2snn for deciding whether to round up or down when compressing the data to 4 bits was written by Blankevoort and co in 2004.
