NXP Solutions for Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning

Presented by Nicolas Lehment, Systems Architect

As AI methods gain maturity, we see interpretation and decision-making migrate from industrial PCs or datacentres into embedded devices. This change puts new demands on both the embedded processors and the tooling used to design and implement these systems.

In this webinar we examine why industrial applications benefit from embedded AI and how NXP devices support the shift of intelligence to the edge.

AI for Human Body Detection in Industrial use cases

Presented by Corinna Babin, Technical Marketing Engineer

In this presentation, ST explains the need for Human Body Detection in various industrial applications. Common scenarios include detecting a person in danger or someone who has fallen, to detecting the presence of lone workers, or controlling safety around industrial equipment from workers clothing, and even visual wake-up-word recognition and face ID technology.

ST will demonstrate and show how the dataset is defined, how the neural network topology is chosen and built, and then how the hardware implementation is done on a microcontroller using STM32Cube.

Making Inferencing EASY at the Edge, without the Power Trip!

Presented by Aaron Severance, Tech Staff Engineer – Processor Architecture

FPGAs are ideal for edge AI applications, especially inferencing in power-constrained compute environments. The reason: FPGAs can perform more giga operations per second (GOPS) with greater power efficiency than a central processing unit (CPU) or graphics processing unit (GPU). However, they require specialized hardware design skills. Here we will explore how Microchip’s VectorBlox Accelerator SDK and Neural Network IP offer an easy way to create low-power FPGA smart embedded vision solutions without prior FPGA experience.

Deep Learning inference at the edge on TI processors

Presented by Manisha Agrawal, Lead Application Engineer

TI Processors are highly integrated, industrial-grade SoCs designed to run deep learning and inference at the edge—delivering the benefits of low power and low latency. In this presentation, you will learn typical steps involved in deploying a deep learning model on any embedded processor. We will also take a closer look at the deep learning and inference development environment, plus look at the scalability of the solution across TI's portfolio. We will even explore the ease of usage with acceleration of using an open-source deep learning/inference engine, such as TFLite and Neo Run Time on TI processors.

AI Facial Recognition Demo

Presented by Rafik Mitry, Technical Marketing Engineer

This project will demonstrate AI facial recognition using the Intel Neural Compute Stick 2 (NCS2) and the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+. The Raspberry Pi will host a web camera, HDMI monitor, and interface with the NCS2 device. The NCS2 device will run a neural network to detect a human face, additionally estimating age, gender & emotion.

Privacy-Preserving AI with Coral Edge TPUs

Presented by Michael Brooks, Coral FAELead

Coral, Google’s Edge TPU platform, will be used to show how moving your AI workload to the edge can help reduce latency, save power, eliminate/reduce bandwidth needs, and ensure privacy preservation.

AI hand-written digit recognition with the Hello FPGA Kit

Presented by Rafik Mitry, Technical Marketing Engineer

In this demo, we’ll explore how Microchip’s Hello FPGA kit can be used in the world of AI. We’ll show the kit built as an image recognition system running a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) capable of recognizing hand-written digits. We’ll take a deeper dive into the CNN, explain how it works, and the limitations of this implementation.
