Samsung has unveiled a machine-vision platform based on IBM’s TrueNorth processor, a chip designed to operate in the same fashion as the human brain, and bring superior compute power to far smaller power packages. The Samsung system, called the Dynamic Vision Sensor, appears very impressive, based on the demonstration at Samsung’s Advanced Institute of Technology. The South Korean giant says that the chip allows its camera to see the world at 2,000 frames per second (fps), which requires a very high processing bandwidth. What’s remarkable is that the system only uses 300 milliwatts of electricity. Also this week, the pair continued their collaboration with the announcement of IBM’s new SyNAPSE chip – a complement to its TrueNorth neurosynaptic/neuromorphic chip, which…
