Imagination and Visidon hook up for image enhancement
Imagination’s IMG Series4 NNA enables these processes to be done in real-time with greater efficiency within tight power and thermal SoC budgets.
Imagination contributes its IMG Series4 neural network accelerator (NNA) for compute performance using its Tensor Tiling Technology and Visidon beibgs expertise in deep-learning video enhancement networks.
The combination will give OEMs the ability to include AI enhancement for applications ranging from image restoration and colourisation, to reducing video streaming bandwidth by up-sampling low resolution source content.
The IMG Series4 AI compute engine with Tensor Tiling technology has been designed to provide low system bandwidth and high inference rate execution of convolutional-based neural networks – the main algorithm found in Visidon’s set of super-resolution solutions.
Visidon has developed a set of deep-learning-based super resolution networks that can upscale and remaster video streams up to 4K (2160p) and 8K (4320p) to fit modern display resolutions. Visidon’s super resolution increases the video frame size while maintaining image details.
