[{"type":"text","content":"Demonstrations using Katana and DBM10L low-power SoCs with neural network engines show latest vision, sound-event detection, keyword spotting, and speech processing innovations\nSAN JOSE, Calif., March 28, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Synaptics Incorporated (Nasdaq: SYNA) will demonstrate how its ultra-low-power, edge-based artificial intelligence (AI) SoC solutions can be used to quickly and easily implement vision, sound-event detection (SED), keyword spotting, and speech processing capabilities in a variety of applications at this week’s tinyML Summit (March 28-30). A Platinum sponsor of the gathering for the growing ecosystem of low-power machine learning (ML) developers, Synaptics will feature its Katana and DBM10L system-on-chip (SoC) ICs and development tools. Both processors have dedicated, on-chip neural network inference engines that are key to current and future ML applications and IoT devices. In addition to the application demonstrations, an on-site poster will detail a power-efficient vision system for AI-based people-counting and occupancy applications. “Ultra-low-power Edge solutions require localized intelligence that relies upon a unique combination of power-efficient hardware and sophisticated AI algorithms, yet must be readily adopted to new applications,” said Venkat Kodavati, SVP and Chief Product Officer at Synaptics. “We’ve developed example applications that show how effective both our Katana and DBM10L platforms and associated tools are at enabling training models for specific use cases for the IoT. They are well suited to help accelerate the adoption of tinyML for the microwatt era of smart and flexible battery-powered devices across a wide range of industries.” Schedule a one-on-one visit with Synaptics at the tinyML SummitEmail: [email protected]; [email protected] The vision demonstration will use the recently announced Katana Edge AI Evaluation Kit (EVK) to read instrument meter clusters. It will show how expensive legacy industrial equipment can be brought into the industrial IoT (IIoT) revolution, by simply placing a Katana-enabled smart camera near the equipment’s display and feeding the read values back to a central server. It can scale as needed to read meters across a factory floor of equipment. There will be two DBM10L demonstrations. One will be a keyword spotting demonstration in partnershi...
