Each seminar highlights a different speaker who will discuss their latest research projects, cutting-edge technology or what is happening within certain technological industries. These industries include biomedical technologies or microsystems, assistive technologies, automation and intelligent systems, unmanned systems, advanced manufacturing and composite materials.
Title:
There and back again with neuromorphic computing and computer vision: a sampling of prior work
Abstract:
I will present a sampling of prior work focused on neuromorphic computing and computer vision. Under the DARPA SyNAPSE program, I developed spiking neural networks (SNNs) for machine learning and vision processing. Several years later I returned to SNNs under a DOE Phase 2 project on network intrusion detection. I discuss neuromorphic processors, conversion processes, and compare results for accuracy, speed and SWaP-C. Progress in the field has been meteoric! For computer vision, I review my design for the vision system for the NASA/GM Robonaut 2 humanoid robot, and then work at Toyota on textureless and articulated pose estimation. Changes in the field add robustness but also development time, suggesting a Pareto front.
