• The iAbra PathWorks toolkit brings embedded AI inference, real-time video recognition to the edge with Intel® Arria® 10 FPGAs, Intel® Xeon® Gold CPUs, and Intel® Atom® processors It’s not always easy to get data to the cloud. Multi-stream computer vision applications, for example, are extremely data intensive and can overwhelm even 5G networks. A company named iAbra has created tools that build neural networks that run on FPGAs in real time, so that inference can be carried out at the edge in small, light, low-power embedded devices...

• Convert from HDR to SDR video on the fly with an FPGA-based video-conversion solution from the bcom Technology Research Institute The human eye has an instantaneous dynamic range of approximately 10 to 14 stops of dynamic range. Standard dynamic range (SDR) video with 8 bits per subpixel and high dynamic range (HDR) video with 10 bits per subpixel have a dynamic range of eight and 10 stops per subpixel respectively, so it’s no wonder that consumers show a growing preference...

• Authenticating Rembrandts: CNNs plus Image Entropy identify the real paintings among the copies   According to a Wall Street Journal article published in 2010, new art scholarship and cataloguing techniques developed over the past 30 years have helped art experts conclude that at least half of the more than 1,000 drawing and paintings attributed to Rembrandt were created by other artists. Some of these works may well be forgeries, created to deceive, but...
