Engineers invent tiny vision processing chip for ultra-small smart vision systems and IoT applications

Physorg  January 19, 2018
In energy-quality scaling, the trade-off between energy consumption and quality in the extraction of features is adjusted. It mimics the dynamic change in the level of attention with which humans observe the visual scene, processing it with different levels of detail and quality depending on the task at hand. Researchers in Singapore used this concept to develop EQSCALE, a microchip that can perform continuous feature extraction at 0.2 milliwatts. This translates into a major advancement in the level of miniaturization for smart vision systems. It paves the way for cost-effective IoT applications… read more.
