Himax and Edge Impulse Launch the First Ultralow Power AI Vision and Sensor Fusion Solution
09 Dezember 2020 - 10:00AM
Himax Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: HIMX) (“Himax”), a leading
supplier and fabless manufacturer of display drivers and other
semiconductor products, today announced a collaboration with Edge
Impulse that enables the rapid development and deployment of
machine learning (ML) models on the Himax HX6537-A WE-I Plus AI
processor and Google TensorFlow Lite for Microcontrollers
framework, allowing low-power, memory-constrained, and remote edge
devices to detect complex motion, recognize sounds and classify
images at sub-mW power consumption. The AI vision and sensor fusion
solution is ideal for predictive maintenance, condition monitoring,
asset tracking, and occupancy detection applications where power
efficiency, bandwidth optimization and privacy are key
requirements.
“Himax and Edge Impulse are teaming up to help developers create
amazing new user experiences with secure, private, easy to use
embedded development tools," said Jordan Wu, President and Chief
Executive Officer at Himax. “Offered at no charge to individual
Himax developers, Edge Impulse helps simplify the creation of
neural networks across a range of Himax products, including AI
processors and always-on sensors, all operating at ultralow power.
Edge Impulse makes it easy for embedded developers to develop
TinyML models on real sensor data - from collecting data in the
field to designing signal processing and ML pipelines, and to
deploying models efficiently on Himax HX6537-A WE-I Plus processor
with TensorFlow Lite for Microcontrollers.”
“Himax WE-I Plus and Edge Impulse end-to-end platform enable an
easy TinyML development with TensorFlow on an ultralow power
device,” said Pete Warden, Technical Lead of TensorFlow Lite for
Microcontrollers at Google.
By using Edge Impulse and Himax, engineers can generate and
export the models directly to the devices with a single button
press, and in seconds, not days. These resulting inferences fully
utilize the latest neural networks and Edge Impulse EON™ technology
to ensure that they run as fast and energy-efficient as
possible.
“The industrial, enterprise, and consumer applications of
embedded ML are endless, enabling highly customizable, data-driven
value for customers. Edge Impulse support for Himax AI processors
and always-on vision sensors is a game changer for these markets,
unlocking new value for customers by enabling ML to be embedded
anywhere at extremely low-power,” said Zach Shelby, co-founder, and
CEO at Edge Impulse.
On January 18th, 2021, Jan Jongboom, co-founder & CTO of
Edge Impulse, and CK Hsu, senior manager of Himax will be hosting a
developer webinar together, discussing TinyML and how to get
started with the world’s most powerful platform for embedded
developers. To learn more about Himax and Edge Impulse, register
