APPLICATION BY TECHNOLOGY

PRESENCE AND IDENTITY

Supporting the interaction of consumer devices with their owners in their daily lives. Detect presence and identity through facial recognition software. Anticipate and react to owner needs by combining with observations from gaze detection software. Pay attention to and appropriately adjust to mood through observation by facial emotion recognition.

OBJECT DETECTION

With the rise of autonomous vehicles, smart video surveillance, facial detection and various people counting applications, fast and accurate object detection systems are rising in demand. With the advent of deep learning in object detection and recognition systems they can not only recognise and classifying every object in an image but also localise each one.

FACIAL EXPRESSIONS

Facial emotion recognition software decodes facial behavior into seven primary emotional states, along with their respective intensity and probability of occurrence. Reading facial micro expressions allows emotion analytics to infer subtle changes in emotional expression over time and can be used to detect changes in mood and understand instantaneous reactions.

REMOTE VITAL SIGNS

Remote vital sign monitoring using sensors such as time-of-flight cameras, mm-wave radar, and rgb cameras allows heart rate, breathing rate, fatigue levels, and advanced emotional states (anxiety, stress, and pain) to be measured remotely to a sensor (no physical contact required). This information can be gathered to assist in decision making.

GAZE DETECTION

Gaze detection software using deep learning performs real-time eye movement tracking providing gaze direction, as well as 3D and 2D coordinates of the eyes (pupils). Gaze detection systems are calibration free and provide the basis of more complex eye tracking systems which analyses human processing of visual information, measuring attention, interest, and arousal.

EMOTION RECOGNITION

Artificial intelligence and human emotion recognition software allows non-verbal human communication to be detected and analysed by a computer. By reading emotional “expressions” from the face, tone of voice, and body and hand gestures more complex and advanced emotions can be detected. Custom emotion recognition development services and software solutions allow tailoring to specific use cases.

DISTRACTION AND DROWINESS

Driver attention detection systems are designed to warn you that you are fatigued or are at risk of becoming drowsy. Cars with drowsiness detection and occupant monitoring systems can monitoring eye state, blink rates, head gestures, body movements, and signs of fatigue such as yawning to provide driver distraction and drowsiness detection.

HUMAN POSE ESTIMATION

Human pose estimation provides multi-person 2d pose estimation for human body pose and shape estimation. Correspondingly 3d pose estimation can be performed using reference 3d human body models and by combining detection and tracking for human pose estimation in videos advanced interactive human machine interfaces can be enabled.

HAND GESTURE RECOGNITION

Deep learning for hand gesture recognition on skeletal data provides a fast, robust, and accurate method to detect hand gestures from a variety of camera sensors. Hand gesture recognition software will then classify both static and dynamic hand poses for interaction with autonomous systems for control and search tasks as well as emotional interactions.

PERFORMANCE THAT SCALES

ANY SENSOR, ANY PLACEMENT

The interior of a vehicle is an unpredictable environment. Typical constraints range from driving environmental unpredictability to drastic changes in ambient temperature. These factors drive the need for systems to include sufficient algorithms capable of handling tough environmental conditions and choice of camera placement is critical to enable the robust operation of AI systems. Another factor that adds to the system complexity is accommodating the cosmetic design of the vehicle. Automotive designers constantly try to introduce new design concepts while also maximizing driver comfort features. These constraints require the position and location of the camera to often change. NVISO addresses these challenges through supporting flexible camera positioning anywhere between the A-pillar and the center stack which is critical to large scale adoption.

NEUROMORPHIC COMPUTING INTEROPERABILITY

ULTRA-LOW LATENCY WITH LOW POWER

ULTRA-LOW LATENCY (<1MS)

Total NVISO Neuro Model latency is similar for GPU and BrainChip Akida™ neuromorphic processor (300 MHz), however CPU latency is approximately 2.4x slower. All models on all platforms can achieve <10ms latency and the best model can achieve 0.6ms which is almost 2x times faster than a GPU. On a clock frequency normalization basis, this represents an acceleration of 6x.

HIGH THROUGHPUT (>1000 FPS)

NVISO Neuro Model performance can be accelerated by an average of 3.67x using BrainChip Akida™ neuromorphic processor at 300MHz over a single core ARM Cortex A57 as found in a NVIDIA Jetson Nano (4GB) running at close to 5x the clock frequency. On a clock frequency normalization basis, this represents an acceleration of 18.1x.

SMALL STORAGE (<1MB)

NVISO Neuro Models can achieve a model storage size under 1MB targeting ultra-low power MCU system where onboard flash memory is limited. Removing the need for external flash memory saves cost and power. BrainChip Akida™ format uses 4-bit quantisation where ONNX format uses Float32 format.

DESIGNED FOR EDGE COMPUTING

NO CLOUD REQUIRED

PRIVACY PRESERVING

By processing video and audio sensor data locally it does not have to be sent over a network to remote servers for processing. This improves data security and privacy as it can perform all processing disconnected from the central server, which is a more secure and private architecture decreasing security risks.

LOWER ENERGY USAGE

The more we move data, the more energy we use. Processing data first on-device opposed to sending it to the cloud uses a lot of less energy. As the amount and rate of data exchange with the cloud is minimised, the power consumption of the device is reduced thus improving battery lifetime, which is critical for many edge devices.

HIGHER AVAILABILITY

Decentralisation and offline capabilities make edge AI more robust since internet access is not required for processing data. This results in higher availability and reliability as weak WiFi signals do not impact the device performance.
