BRN Discussion Ongoing

I just stumbled across some interesting news about some researchers of a fruit-related company that have published a ML-model for creating a depth-map from a 2-dimensional image (without relying on the availability of metadata such as camera intrinsics).

Most obvious use case: blurring image regions dependent on (calculated) depth (e.g. for small image sensors in smartphones)


Now the interesting parts:

Ok, so it's about vision transformers ... hmm ...

Ah, and it's fast also:

What the ...?


Dear Brainchip, please
Thanks for your attention 😉


Edit - some addition

P.S.:
If this actually also works reliably for video, please consider adding companies/solutions related to the film and VFX hardware/software industry to your list of potential use-cases. Just for inspiration, imagine filming and keying (by depths-data) in real-time without green-screens (even if only used for pre-visualization).
Very interesting, Apple 🍎 what’s this all about. It seems we are apart of discussions with them 🤞

How can there be this much difference in the OTC market?
If you are talking about BCHPY to BRHCF, BCHPY is an ADR (American Depositary Receipt) worth 40 BRN shares.

The Hang Seng is down almost 10% in the last trading session, but this "shouldn't" affect other markets too much, as they've had an "unnatural" rise over the last 6 months and this looks like a correction..

Collaboration with the University of Waterloo to help seed, grow and harvest research in the field of neuromorphic computing
Mercedes-Benz and the University of Waterloo have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to collaborate on research led by Prof. Chris Eliasmith in the field of neuromorphic computing. The focus is on the development of algorithms for advanced driving assistance systems. By mimicking the functionality of the human brain, neuromorphic computing could significantly improve AI computation, making it faster and more energy efficient. While preserving vehicle range, safety systems could, for example, detect traffic signs, lanes and objects much better, even in poor visibility, and react faster. Neuromorphic computing has the potential to reduce the energy required to process data for autonomous driving by 90 percent compared to current systems.
"Industry collaboration is at the heart of our success as Canada's largest engineering school. We recognize that research partnerships with companies such as Mercedes-Benz bring opportunities to directly apply and test our work, while introducing our students to the highest standards in industry."
Mary Wells, Dean, Faculty of Engineering at the University of Waterloo​

I think maybe you're "mad" Benny 🤔..

There won't be a short squeeze, without significant news and stronger demand than what we have now..

But that's just my seat of the pants opinion..

I know mine will remain clean and fresh though, regardless.
