DJI has unveiled its latest drone, the rather small Spark. Powered by a Movidius Myriad 2 processor, Intel has quietly notched up another win for its machine-vision silicon – as its strategy of giving eyes to chips gathers pace, on the back of its recent Mobileye acquisition. Drones have huge Internet of Things potential, and while early days for the sector, offer a hugely transformative technology opportunity for enterprises. Drones are a key part of Intel’s diversification strategy, alongside automotive and AI-based technologies. Both feature machine-vision as a key requirement, using cameras to carry out object recognition for navigation tasks, and rely on advanced silicon to provide the performance needed to carry-out these functions in live environments – without the…
