Chris Rowen, Fellow at Cadence, presents the "Taming the Beast: Performance and Energy Optimization Across Embedded Feature Detection and Tracking" tutorial at the May 2014 Embedded Vision Summit. This presentation looks at a cross-section of advanced feature detectors, and considers the algorithm, bit precision, arithmetic primitives and implementation optimizations that yield high pixel processing rates, […]

Chris Rowen, Fellow at Cadence and Founder of Tensilica, presents the "Porting Applications to High-Performance Imaging DSPs" tutorial within the "Developing Vision Software, Accelerators and Systems" technical session at the April 2013 Embedded Vision Summit. Rowen discusses the challenges of porting and tuning applications to a high-performance imaging DSP.  An imaging-specific DSP can make a
