BRN Discussion Ongoing

[hamilton66]

Just for interest this is the link to Spiral Blue’s Edge Compute products powered by Nvidia with detailed spec sheets:

Spiral Blue | Space Edge Computing

Spiral Blue is developing the Space Edge Computer - an onboard computing system that will give Earth observation satellites the ability to process images captured on the satellite itself. This has the potential to increase the capacity of Earth observation satellites carrying Space Edge...

How can AKIDA running at micro to milli watts with on chip learning and a price tag of tens of US dollars compete with their current Nvidia offerings-please note this is rhetorical humour

What did Edge Impulse say again Science Fiction AKIDA can out perform at 300 megahertz a GPU running at 900 megahertz.

My opinion only DYOR

F/F, pleased to see u've hardened up, and back contributing. As ltshs , we've all been smashed, both by nay sayers, and s/p. It's reminiscent of the early days, when I remember being down over 50% on my holdings, and kept buying, due to research. That business spiderweb for BRN keeps expanding. Very encouraging to see. Ur 1 of many whose input is highly valued. I say to u, and all. Trolls are a waste of space. Don't be, and don't get disheartened. That puts the WANCAS in the winners circle. No-one needs to pump this co. It's achievements will do that for us. Looking forward to the time where late adopters are in awe, and shorters get smoked. Best of health to u, and keep on keeping on. I, like many, luv ur informative posts. Keep them coming!

Wonder they'll ever publish the data.

Or put in other words, would Intel be happy for the data to be publicised?
Nice find

This is another company operating in the vehicle in cabin sensing market similar to Nviso, emotion3D & Smart Eye.

They are using their Fovio chips via Xilinx.

FOVIO Chip family | Seeing Machines

The FOVIO Chip family enables seamless integration of our DMS technology into ADAS and semi-automated driving systems for enhanced safety and convenience.

They have developed the Occula NPU.

Occula™ NPU | Seeing Machines

Occula NPU accelerates our monitoring algorithms to deliver superior human detection and tracking at half the computational load of the FOVIO Chip.

Seems to do a lot of things Akida can do. Nviso & emotion3D have partnered with BRN which highlights that they need Akida tech for their in cabin sensing algorithms. Mercedes demos with Nviso had an Akida processor.

[SERA2g]

In the interest of potentially answering some initial questions others might have about Spiral Blue...

From @Diogenese (with permission) earlier this month. I ran Spiral Blue's space edge computer past him for his opinion.



"Hi SeRA2,

No published patent docs, but they are not published until 18 moths after filing.

They use Nvidia, so they are probably software.

https://spiralblue.space/space-edge-computing

Space Edge Computers use the NVIDIA Jetson series, maximising processing power while keeping power draw manageable. They carry polymer shielding for single event effects, as well as additional software and hardware mitigations. We provide onboard infrastructure software to manage resources and ensure security, as well as onboard apps such as preprocessing, GPU based compression, cloud detection, and cropping. We can also provide AI based apps for object detection and segmentation, such as Vessel Detect and Canopy Mapper.

Note our friend "segmentation" is along for the ride."

Hi @SERA2g. An observation, I haven't seen much of you, last couple of months, your always educational and entertaining posts are very much appreciated.
Good to see you back on board, and I know I don't have to inform you, but Akida is about to become the corner stone and pinnacle of the 4th industrial revolution.

Hi mate

Thanks for the kind message and checking in, good to know someone noticed my absence haha!

I’ve been meaning to share this news with the forum for a while but have been a little time poor.

My partner and I welcomed the arrival of our daughter, Ellie Mae, on the 17th of February.

I got back to work this week after having taken 3 weeks of parental leave.

In that time I didn’t do much posting, if any, on TSEX. I was focusing on being as present and supportive as possible for my partner. I did read through the threads and check the post of the day regularly though so don’t feel like I missed too much!

Thanks to @BienSuerte for checking in to see how we were going, it was hugely appreciated ❤

Cheers all x

Seeing Machines spun out of ANU in 2000, and worked with Volvo, so they probably weren't particularly conscious of power consumption.

In their first patent, US7043056B2 Facial image processing system, they dismissed NNs:

Some known techniques use neural-networks to estimate gaze direction. Neural networks require long training sequences for every person to be monitored, and do not allow for any head motion.

This may have been fair enough at the time, but times have changed.

Their accelerator patent takes a high speed video and compresses it by only selecting frames which meet a particular set of criteria:

WO2019241834A1 HIGH FRAME RATE IMAGE PRE-PROCESSING SYSTEM AND METHOD AU2018902161A·2018-06-18

Described herein is an image pre-processing system and method. One embodiment provides a method (500) including: at step (501), receiving a plurality of images captured at a first frame rate, the plurality of images captured under at least two different image conditions; pre-processing the plurality of images by: at step (502) identifying one or more regions of interest within the images; at step (503), performing a visibility measure on the one or more regions of interest; and, at step (504), selecting a subset of the plurality of images based on the visibility measure; and, at step (505), feeding the subset of images to an image processing pipeline for subsequent processing at a second frame rate that is lower than the first frame rate.

It is the most valuable thing we can ever hold in our hands and in my opinion there is no more lasting positive life-oriented experience, keep this in your being and mind forever, even if other (BRN) will try to distract you.
As a nurse, the best moments for me are being able to accompany people in such a life changing situation.
Thank you for your privat insights and take care.

Fantastic endorsement of the Brainchip Edge AI/ML. A must listen to, after the first 3-minute background stuff.

Megachips is really going after Edge AI hardcore, reinforcing what we know. To hear the words praising the Brainchip smarts over and over!

When asked what are the growth apps happening now?

1) Wearables (headphones, earpods, medical patches that monitor body conditions in real time).
2) Security (he did not elaborate).
3) Industrial (robotics, anomaly detection).
4) Automotive (lots of apps, just slower implementation time).

Supporting 4 foundries, plus other tidbits. I wish it had a transcript.

Thanks a bunch Mr @Rocket577 for a really enjoyable 20 minutes Brainchip love fest.

Look, that’s all well and good, but you have missed something vital. Ellie Mae needs to be a Brainchip shareholder now! The ASX opens at 10.am. I expect her to own BRN shares by 10.05 this morning.

 

[stuart888]

The Renesas guy mentioned there is no other Arm Cortex-M85 chip in silicon on Earth but he excluded the universe so there must be in space with NASA.

Also, the motor vibration set up he showed looks the same as the one I have seen Texas Instruments demo but I can't find the video now.

This is interesting from Texas Instruments.



And new edge ai video released yesterday by Texas Instruments.



Here there are edge ai demos & many look similar to BRN. Image classification, object detection, semantic segmentation, single input inference, multiple input inference, LIDAR.

https://dev.ti.com/tirex/explore/node?node=A__AAkmgPumnb6pg20NWtipWA__com.ti.Jacinto%20EdgeAI%20Demos__PfvSod2__LATEST

Really good stuff your pumping out @Steve10 -- much appreciated.

On Texas Instruments, your right they have some interesting videos, solutions, and many use-cases that Brainchip can excel/win in.

What a great Brainchip partnership they would make. I am not up on where they are on the iceberg, but likely somewhere!

First time I heard of the "Edge AI Cloud"!

For sure there are plenty of AI solutions winners coming, hitting all the various power consumption and cloud usage layers. I like Brainchip being on the best side of Power, ultra-low!
