BRN Discussion Ongoing

[Fact Finder]

Apologies for yet again bringing this up, but I still can't get my head around who is Prophesee is partnering with to get their -blur free- camera ready for inclusion within Snapdragon at Qualcomm. Who ever it is has a multi year contract with Qualcomm. I know we can do this with one hand tied behind my back, but the general feeling here is no, not us.


Please please put me out of my misery once and for all.

It is really quite simple.

AKIDA is SNN. Prophesee produces spikes so they just plug in to each other and work.

When you travel to the UK from Australia and you want to recharge your laptop you need a converter which you plug into the wall socket then plug in your laptop. This allows you to then charge your laptop. The extra wires and bits and pieces in this converter adds time (latency)to how long the power takes to get from the wall socket to your lap top and also adds resistance which uses up some of the charge travelling from the socket to your laptop. Your laptop will still charge up and work.

Should add if you leave it on charging for a while you will notice the converter becomes warm so you are losing energy through heat.

So Prophesee if it is not connected to a natively spiking processor like AKIDA sends out its spikes just the same but to be used by Qualcomm it needs to convert the spikes into something else so it’s processor can understand and process the information in the original spikes.

In the process of conversion there is some loss of energy/information so the converted spikes produce suboptimal information for Qualcomm to process.

It still works but not as well as it might if it did not have to convert the spikes first before they were processed.

In the camera on your mobile for taking happy snaps this is probably not a particular issue however the extra power draw needed to convert the spikes so they can be processed and the extra power used by a neuromorphic processor that does not use SNN could be significant and reduce battery life to such an extent that the selfie generation might get annoyed an choose an iPhone.

There is also the question of extra heat and the actual cost of the electronics involved.

Where suboptimal performance of Prophesee’s vision sensor would not be acceptable would be in tracking hypersonic missiles and planes where you do not want to waste a single spike or milli second. Even counting pills if complete accuracy is required would necessitate every spike being accounted for.

Hope this helps.

What about this?

Canon using what it describes as “cutting-edge technology," has created a new deep-learning image processing technology that aims to achieve 'true-to-life' photography, and focuses on three areas: noise reduction, color interpolation, and aberration diffraction correction (i.e lens blur correction).

New Canon AI processor fixes camera 'issues' - Australian Photography

Canon has shared information about a new deep learning-powered AI image processing technology that the company says can dramatically improve image quality.

My Canon lenses has had anti blur for years until I dropped it which reminds me I need to get it fixed. So without any research I would say not necessarily.

Good morning,

When I first started following companies that have mentioned Akida NSoC within their own Patents, as a "potential" processor the list was rather small, things have slowly been expanding to today we have been named (not suggesting anything at the moment) within these documents.

DIGIMARC CORP. 7 Patents

GIANT AI INC. 2 Patents

ACCENTURE GLOBAL SOLUTIONS LTD. 2 Patents (only a few weeks ago)

BLUMIND INC. 1 Patent (Former staff member, Roger Levinson)

TECHNION R&D FOUNDATION LTD. 1 Patent


To say that Brainchip's technology is not that well known, is so yesterday, we are in fact growing from the inside out.

Love our company, say positive, the fruit is coming.

Yes but they cleverly wrote them in English so the secret sauce will be lost in translation. By the time the try it out using Fish Sauce Peter van der Made and Anil Mankar with assistance from Carnegie Mellon will be sitting on top a cortical column.

Love the wit, and nice to have you back, FF

I believe that after Brainchip had bought and paid for the Spikenet patent for Jast learning and N of M coding ( our secret sauce),
Simon Thorpe released a documentary that clearly explained the process to anyone hoping to replicate.
My question is, How is it that Brainchip does not appear to have had Simon Thorpe bound to non disclosure of our IP?

 

[Dang Son]

But you can be sure that the BrainChip patents will be under the microscope in China.

Hi Dio, please see prior post

This is a great point. Because I am a technophobe like many here can you point out the parts of Simon Thorpe’s presentation that have not been publicly available in the JAST patent documents for some years now?

Many thanks in advance.

Will Mercedes mandate the use of Akida with Luminar?

I suppose I should elaborate on the reason why I said "yes" to the question of whether Mercedes will mandate the use of Akida with Luminar and it's because of something that Christophe Perillat CEO of Valeo said previously (all-be-it in French which had to be translated into English). Christophe said there is one thing in common with the 2 cars that achieved Level 3 and this element was an extraordinary sensor. So presuming the extraordinary thing about which he speaks is Akida, which is entirely conceivable since incorporating Akida into Valeo's lidars has been the whole point of the partnership between Valeo & BrainChip, then it wouldn't be a stretch of the imagination to conceive of other lidar companies jumping onto the Akida bandwagon, least they get left behind eating their competitors dust.

Luminar's lidar allows the system to operate at speeds up to 80 miles per hour, where as the Drive Pilot equipt with Valeo's lidar allows for hands-free, eyes-off driving up to 40 mph on certain highways. It's really is a cat eat cat world out there and IMO BrainChip would not be limit themselves to creating partnerships with multiple companies offering the same products.

Morning Chippers,

Some may find the below article interesting, taken from Weekend Financial Review.

Cannot recall who , sorry, but a little while ago one of our sleuths put up a visual display of Brainchip internet traffic globaly. Alot of chatter was originating out of Vietnam if memory serves......

The second article , well thought I'd add my guess on where we should be pressently......

Not financial advice... may be more... DYOR.

Cheers FF ,

The clocks ticking fast it would seem .

Another significance is that megachip could have influenced this

The latest MegaChips presentation mentions "Aim to launch products leveraging BrainChips' next generation edge based AI solutions".

Whereas Quadric is still at the commercialization stage.

Image processing (blur) mentioned.

I wrote a few days ago that megachip was likely nowhere near the work with prophesee and Qualcomm and that a licensing agreement was needed at some point.

MegaChips has now highlighted they were part of the design for 1500 and in the above have specifically highlighted image processing and blur elimination as the first example use case after saying they are aiming to launch new products with Akida tech.
ARM has also been removed from the processing which we know Qualcomm is prefering not to have to deal with at the moment.

So wild theory.. MegaChips brokers design of chip specifically for mobile usage and works with qualcomm and Prophesee under their licensing agreement with brainchip with no need to report anything.

Has Simon just given out the recipe for the secret sauce??

Hi @Food4 thought

Firstly if you listen closely you will hear Simon Thorpe say Brainchip has licensed. This dates the video to well before Brainchip bought JAST out right.

Secondly my memory is that this particular lecture was posted in 2021.

Thirdly Simon Thorpe has been delivering this same lecture time and again in English and French for as long as I have been researching Brainchip.

Fourthly as the full text of the JAST patent has been available for years there is nothing confidential in Simon Thorpe’s lecture.

Finally Peter van der Made possibly as early as 2019 publicly stated there were issues with JAST which they had modified to achieve what they did with the AKIDA design.

Then as for the secret sauce @Diogenese picked up first that Brainchip’s secret sauce is actually in the design of the neural fabric.

So absolutely nothing of value in the earlier post which led to your question.

My opinion only DYOR
