EDGE AI DEVELOPMENT AND DEPLOYMENT

Deploying PyTorch Models for Real-time Inference On the EdgeNomitri
In this 2021 Embedded Vision Summit presentation, Moritz August, CDO at Nomitri GmbH, provides an overview of workflows for deploying compressed deep learning models, starting with PyTorch and creating native C++ application code running in real-time on embedded hardware platforms. He illustrates these workflows on smartphones with real-world examples targeting Arm-based CPUs, GPUs, and NPUs as well as embedded chips and modules like the NXP i.MX8+ and NVIDIA Jetson Nano. August examines TorchScript, architecture-side optimizations, quantization and common pitfalls. Additionally, he shows how the PyTorch deployment workflow can be extended to conversion to ONNX and quantization of ONNX models using an ONNX Runtime. On the application side, he demonstrates how deployed models can be integrated efficiently into a C++ library that runs natively on mobile and embedded devices and highlights known limitations.

Streamlining the Development of Edge AI ApplicationsNVIDIA
Edge AI provides benefits for cost, latency, privacy, and connectivity. Developing and deploying optimized, accurate and effect AI on edge-based systems is a time-consuming, challenging and complex process. In this talk from the 2021 Embedded Vision Summit, Barrie Mullins, former Director of Technical Product Marketing at NVIDIA, explains how the company makes it easier for developers to build, deploy, maintain and manage embedded edge products. NVIDIA Jetson brings accelerated AI performance to the edge in a power-efficient and compact module form factor. Together with NVIDIA pretrained models, Transfer Learning Toolkit, DeepStream and JetPack SDK, these Jetson modules open the door for you to develop and deploy innovative products across all industries.

SECURITY AND SURVEILLANCE APPLICATIONS

Developing and Deploying a Privacy-preserving Vision-based Sensor System for Commercial Real EstateXY Sense
In the United States alone, commercial buildings contain roughly 70 billion square feet of space. Constructing, operating and maintaining this space consumes a tremendous amount of resources. Yet, facility operators typically have little insight into how their spaces are utilized. XY Sense set out to develop a solution that allows facilities operators to obtain accurate, real-time information on how spaces are utilized, enabling informed decisions about how to adjust and allocate their spaces. XY Sense’s solution uses wide-angle cameras to collect real-time occupancy information over large areas while preserving privacy and security. In this 2021 Embedded Vision Summit interview conducted by Jeff Bier, Founder of the Edge AI and Vision Alliance, Luke Murray, the co-founder and CTO of XY Sense, introduces the key requirements of the application, and explores some of the challenges that XY Sense overcame in developing and deploying its solutions—including monitoring people’s movements without compromising privacy—and the approaches the company employed to overcome these challenges.

Challenges in Vision-based Adaptive Traffic Control SystemsSahaj Software Solutions
Adaptive traffic control systems (ATCSs) adjust traffic signal timing based on demand. Venkatesh Wadawadagi, Solution Consultant at Sahaj Software Solutions, begins this 2021 Embedded Vision Summit talk by presenting the main building blocks of a vision-based ATCS, including pre-processing, vehicle detection, vehicle classification and vehicle tracking. Next, he examines several of the key technical challenges in developing a computer vision-based ATCS and explores approaches for overcoming these challenges. These challenges stem from the need for an ATCS to perform accurate person and vehicle detection despite a huge variety of vehicle types, occlusion of objects of interest and difficult lighting conditions.

A PREDICTION.

I am sure that most members probably all will understand the significance of the problem that these NASA funded researchers are suggesting can be solved by using SNN based Ai to resolve routing problems in communication networks.

We know that Brainchip has been approached by at least one communication company.

So my prediction is that the use of AKIDA based technology in or as the device for routing in communication networks, be they wireless, 4G, 5G, 6G or private networks, will become ubiquitous and generate billions in revenue.

Abstract and Figures​

Satellite communication is inevitable due to the Internet of Everything and the exponential increase in the usage of smart devices. Satellites have been used in many applications to make human life safe, secure, sophisticated, and more productive. The applications that benefit from satellite communication are Earth observation (EO), military missions, disaster management, and 5G/6G integration, to name a few. These applications rely on the timely and accurate delivery of space data to ground stations. However, the channels between satellites and ground stations suffer attenuation caused by uncertain weather conditions and long delays due to line-of-sight constraints, congestion, and physical distance. Though inter-satellite links (ISLs) and inter-orbital links (IOLs) create multiple paths between satellite nodes, both ISLs and IOLs have the same issues. Some essential applications, such as EO, depend on time-sensitive and error-free data delivery, which needs better throughput connections. It is challenging to route space data to ground stations with better QoS by leveraging the ISLs and IOLs. Routing approaches that use the shortest path to optimize latency may cause packet losses and reduced throughput based on the channel conditions, while routing methods that try to avoid packet losses may end up delivering data with long delays. Existing routing algorithms that use multi-optimization goals tend to use priority-based optimization to optimize either of the metrics. However, critical satellite missions that depend on high-throughput and low-latency data delivery need routing approaches that optimize both metrics concurrently. We used a modified version of Kleinrock’s power metric to reduce delay and packet losses and verified it with experimental evaluations. We used a cognitive space routing approach, which uses a reinforcement-learning-based spiking neural network to implement routing strategies in NASA’s High Rate Delay Tolerant Networking (HDTN) project”

I can recall some discussion about Cisco who’s could be interested as well.

I think they were listed in a CEO presentation (going back a few years) as a company Brainchip had conversations with.

I appreciate LinkedIn is a loose dot but it’s nice to see an employee from Cisco liking Brainchips recent New Years salutation!

Don’t give up on the bread making @Rise from the ashes I have been making sourdough bread for 3 years now and it took a few attempts to get it right. It took a while but now I understand the process and know when my dough is ready to bake. Just like everything in life you learn most when things don’t go quite right.

I’ve learnt to make a pretty decent sourdough loaf over the last 3 years too. Lovely smell of freshly baking bread on the weekends

Much much more than discussions they actually worked together.

Off topic but Noam Chomsky is still alive at 94 years and continuing to lead thought on why current deep training is the direct opposite of artificial intelligence. This is an interesting interview with him and others:

2022 — The Year Where AI Went Wrong

The year of 2022 ended with a lot of updates and anticipation around the generative AI, which made routine headlines globally.

Peter van der Made and Anil Mankar recognised and understood this two decades ago and the search for the AKIDA technology Science Fiction began.

Great catch @Schwale

His name put me in mind of hunting vampires and I wondered if event based cameras could photograph vampires which is something frame based cameras cannot do.

If so then vampires could do their own interviews and be on reality TV like ‘Vampire wants a Wife’.

Good evening Chippers,

Getting exciting again. Bring it.

Many moons ago when one would trade , I would often crank the sound system , listening to trance music.
Truely an amazing way to release endorphins naturally ( for those that are unaware , endorphins are a naturally produced drug in one's mind which for some allow the brain to function in a truely relaxed yet very engaged state ).

Tis my favourite music.

Once again having a few steadiers as the day comes to an end and , for myself, listening to some amazing music.

Would highly recommend those with a sound system ( with the ability to CRANK the volume) & a phone (wireless voodo) search the world wide web for this lass...

KRISMI - Live @ Montreal, Canada set.
Runs for roughly 50 mins.
TURN IT UP AS LOUD AS POSSIBLE , FULLY RELAX THE BODY AND LET ONES MIND FLOAT.

Find ones self a comfy spot ideally with bottle of one's favourite & preferably with a loved one ....enjoy.

Funnily enough this lass reminds me of BRAVO , amoungst others scouting out leads for everyone here.

The above listening session, homework if you will , will help put you in the mind set of non other than probably the most influential controller of funds under management on planet earth ....

Larry Fink of BlackRock,
Roughly overseeing $10 Trillion USD, has been known to often borrow the corporate jet and enjoy IBIZA In Greece,
Land of the dance party.

Might add, BlackRock holds over 2% of Brainchips stock through various entitys pressently.

THE HEAVENS WILL OPEN my fellow party members.

For those that are time poor, live in built up suburbia or such music is not one's thing skip to 42:14 mark in above set... fitting.

Once again if some one vastly more savvy than myself could locate & post connection in above music would be greatly appreciated .

[Fact Finder]

It's so great watching Tim Llewellyn frothing over Brainchip, his enthusiasm is infectious.
You can just tell that Akida is lighting up absolutely everything that he has been working so hard to achieve over the past 13 years.
He's so excited, that he barely seems to be able to contain himself
I can't help think that Luca Verre, ( Prophesee ), is feeling a little the same !

"Tim Llewellyn is President of Bonseyes AI Marketplace. Bonseyes is an open and expandable AI platform that intends to transform AI development from a cloud centric model, dominated by large internet companies, to an edge device centric model through a marketplace and an open AI platform. Tim Llewellyn is also CEO and co-founder of Nviso, a company that provides artificial intelligence solutions."

"Tim Llewellyn started nViso October 2009"

"Tim Llewellyn is CEO and Co-founder of nViso SA. Tim has 10 years’ experience in high-tech startups and is pioneering a truly scalable emotion recognition platform to help capture and analyze the emotional response and visual attention of consumers on a scale and level of detail not previously possible. Tim received his B.E. and M.E. (Hons) degrees in Electrical Engineering from the University of Canterbury, New Zealand in 1999 and 2001. Tim was a speaker at the ESOMAR 3D Digital Dimensions 2011 conference in Miami. Prior to founding nViso, Tim worked on ultralow power wearable devices as part of the Swatch Group. In Swatch, Tim helped build the first ultra-low power Smart Watches together with Microsoft, which turned out well ahead of its time."

I have an idea that ZF is a member of Bonseyes. The following article whether AKIDA is involved is secondary because it highlights how important cognitive communication networks are and will be in the future:
