BRN Discussion Ongoing

[Fullmoonfever]

Hi Fmf,

I didn't find any NN related patents for icatch.

The V57 is an Image Signal processor which includes an NN core:

A group of CV engines which comprise of an optical flow processing (OPF) accelerator, matrix arithmetic engine (MAE) with DSP functions and high-performance NPU engine, can manipulate the image and video data in real-time to support edge computing and intelligent processing, such as pedestrian detection, vechicle detection, distance extraction, behavior recognition, gesture recognition, or even action recognition, and much more. The embedded USB3.2 Gen1 device interface and support ultra high-speed and high-resolution video data transfer.



2.3. Image process acceleration engine

 Matrix operation engines

 Scaling up/down engine

 De-warping engine for lens distortion correction (LDC) and multi[1]view affine transformation

 Motion detection engine

 HW accelerated optical flow engine for DVS sensor applications

 Pre/Post processing for NPU acceleration



2.5. Neural network accelerator

 High performance 1.2 TOPS NPU engine

 Supports weight/bias quantization using UINT8, INT8, INT16,

Float16, BFloat16 and Post-training quantization

 MAE engine – pre/post DSP accelerator


It does not include SNN.

It would be a case of either/or as far as the iCatch NN is concerned.

They would have been working with Prophesee for some time


https://www.prophesee.ai/2022/04/19/icatch-prophesee-collaboration-ai-vision-processor/

iCatch and Prophesee collaborated on development of AI vision processor natively compatible with Prophesee Event-based Metavision® sensing technologies.​

iCatch Technology (iCatch) has focused on image signal processing (ISP) technology and Camera SOC for over two decades and aggressively invested in research and development in more machine learning (ML) related technology and application.

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.

iCatch also provides a high customized service and an excellent image quality system to become the eyes of all of machine vision equipment and smart devices in the future.

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.

So it looks like you have found the missing link in the Sony/Prophesee/? triangle.

But it was after this that Prophesee confessed its undying love for Akida. So, as I speculated when the Sony/Prophesee collaboration was announced, unfortunately they are probably contractually bound to iCatch for the first born.

So, as someone speculated above, was the Apple CEO inspecting iCatch's offspring, or was there a newer and better love child in the cradle?

You've got to ask yourself one question - would Sony or Prophesee be happy showing off an inferior solution?

Just found these earlier references and distribution partner. No mention of iCatch?

IMX636 and IMX637 event-based vision
29 November 2021

Macnica ATD Europe today announced to offer the Event-based vision sensor (“EVS”) from its long-term distribution partner, Sony Semiconductor Solutions Corporation (“Sony”). The two sensors IMX636 and IMX637 were made possible through collaboration between Sony and Prophesee, another distribution partner of Macnica ATD Europe.

EVS realizes high-speed data output with low latency by limiting the output data to luminance changes from each pixel, combined with information on pixel position coordinates and time. Only the pixels that have detected a change in luminance for the object can output data, allowing the sensor to immediately detect the luminance changes with high-speed, low-latency, high-temporal-resolution while operating with low power consumption. It represents a whole new approach compared to the commonly used frame-based method, where the entire image is output at certain intervals determined by the frame rate.

Application fields where the two new models of EVS specifically exploit their advantages over frame-based sensors are for example sensing changes in sparks produced during welding and metal cutting; and sensing slight changes in vibration and detecting abnormalities for use in predictive maintenance.

Macnica ATD Europe as a prime distribution partner of both Sony and Prophesee covers the full cooperation on the EVS technology and offers technical support as well as the free loan of evaluation kits in different versions from first “hands on” evaluation to full performance evaluation (available in Q4). The cooperation also covers the Metavision® Intelligence Suite from Prophesee, an event signal processing software optimized for the sensors performance, which is available through Macnica ATD Europe. Combining Sony’s event-based vision sensors with this software will enable efficient application development and provide solutions for various use cases.

Summary
For over a decade, CPU and GPU design companies have been using Synopsys VC Formal Datapath Validation (DPV) app with its HECTOR™ technology to verify their data processing elements because traditional verification methods cannot exhaustively verify the correctness of mathematical computations in these designs. Like CPUs and GPUs, AI processors are also datapath heavy with mathematical functions like addition, subtraction, matrix multiplication, and square root in its compute engines, making these designs a good fit for formal datapath validation.
This webinar will introduce the Synopsys ARC® NPX Neural Processing Unit (NPU) IP family of embedded AI processors and use of Synopsys VC Formal DPV to verify its datapath functions. The Synopsys ARC NPX6 processor supports the latest and most complex neural networks, such as CNN, RNN, and transformers, targeted for AI SoCs that are widely used in automotive, data center, high end gaming, next generation augmented reality, and surveillance. At the heart of the NPX6 neural network processor are convolution and tensor accelerators that are optimized to perform light speed computations. Correctness of these functional units are key to correct facial, audio, image processing and recognition which could have safety implications for automotive applications. We will explore Synopsys VC Formal DPV, the gold standard for datapath validation and signoff for the last 20 years, and how it is used to ensure correctness of the core algorithms of the ARC NPX6 processor’s compute engines.

Difficult to argue with this paragraph

"But given this alliance, other recent agreements, management’s bullish rhetoric, and its lofty market capitalisation, the market will no doubt be expecting Brainchip to start delivering some very big sales in 2023."

And it provides BRN.AX some exposure to generate investor interest.
OK admittedly trying to put some lipstick on the pig.

 

[FJ-215]

Hmmmm… I think it’s a given that revenue is the kind of performance we are all expecting. Three years into commercialisation, and a year into his role of CEO - Sean and the board know what shareholders expect very well, and a few partnerships wouldn’t cut the mustard in my opinion.

That being said, I remain optimistic and excited to see what he is to be judged by. I think 2023 could be a fantastic year for this company.

Spot on.

Sean said as much himself when he said "Watch the financials"

Unfortunately for Micklepickle both the Prosecutor and the Counsel for the Defence objected when his name was called and so the Judge excluded him from jury duty stating thank you gentlemen had you not excluded him I would have as it is clear from his previously published statements he is entirely biased and his ability to independently weigh the evidence is on its face non existent.

As a result anything Mr. Micklepickle thinks is irrelevant and to be ignored.

The Judge further remarked that any true investigative financial journalist would have contacted Intel directly rather than rely upon plagiarising a Press Release from Brainchip and on its face doing absolutely no actual research.

The Judge further stated there is clearly no forensic value in this article as it is simply an unverifiable personal opinion piece riddled with pre-existing negative bias.

Lastly before I turn the meeting back over to Antonio, let me briefly recap.
It’s been nearly a half year of building a commercial engine that is just now starting to reveal its possibility.

Key priorities and initiatives include:
• Structuring Commercialization.
• Understanding our Market Ecosystem.
• Clarifying our Business Model.
• Ensuring Product-Market Fit.
• Focusing on Marketing.
• Expanding Sales.

Our work on the commercialization leg of the stool has made substantial progress but it is a journey of continuing improvement.

But when you couple this commercial engine with our differentiated IP product, delivering proven and an exponential improvement on anything else available, plus a market which is moving to the edge, I am highly confident that the commercial results will come in a steady and sustainable fashion.

Even with all this hard work on commercialization in the last 5 months, the company and myself should be judged not on effort, but results.

With that said, I look forward to standing before you next year to share all the progress and results from this next critical chapter of BrainChip’s commercialization.
Thank you.”
- END -

The above is exactly what the CEO Sean Hehir said and it most definitely is not saying that income in the 4C’s is the benchmark by which to judge the company and the CEO. It is far more than this it is about building a company that will be ubiquitous and at the forefront of technological advancement across the entire semiconductor industry.

It is about partnerships, ecosystems, employing super star employees and a technology North Star over in Perth creating science fiction as it advances towards Artificial General Intelligence.

The fact that Brainchip is an IP company means that it’s true financial wealth will be generated off the back of the Magic Pudding known as ROYALTIES being paid in perpetuity.

Royalties are paid on the product containing Brainchip IP being produced and sold in the retail market.

I have exampled how Prophesee and Sony have been engaged for three years and have only just announced that they are going into mass production.

If anyone is going to judge a company like Brainchip solely by income in a 4C then they would never have invested in companies like Tesla, Apple, Intel, Facebook or Google.
