Sahil Bansal, Senior Director of Product Management at Qualcomm, presents the “Achieving High-Performance Vision Processing for Embedded Applications with Qualcomm SoC Platforms” tutorial at the May 2018 Embedded Vision Summit.
Advancements in machine learning are making it possible to equip devices such as connected cameras, robots, drones and smart home solutions with improved on-device vision processing and analytics capabilities. This talk addresses how a hybrid approach, combining deep learning with traditional computer vision and utilizing Qualcomm Technologies System-on-Chips (SoCs) and solutions can deliver significant performance and power-efficiency improvements for embedded applications requiring vision processing. Bansal presents the benefits and trade-offs, use cases and results from concrete implementations using this hybrid approach.
