Michael Tusch, founder and CEO of Apical, presents the "Harnessing Hardware Accelerators to Move from Algorithms to Embedded Vision" tutorial within the "Using Processors for Embedded Vision" technical session at the September 2012 Embedded Vision Summit. The presentation focuses on the programming challenges associated with implementing vision algorithms efficiently on embedded devices with a degree of hardware parallelization. Tusch illustrates the two fundamental issues of data flow and memory access with simple code examples.
