SAN JOSE, Calif., Aug. 23, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Cadence Design
Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: CDNS) and Irida Labs today announced that
Irida Labs' IRIS-EnLight and
IRIS-NoiseSweeper technologies are now available on the
Cadence® Tensilica® Vision family of digital
signal processors (DSPs). Developed by vision industry experts at
Irida Labs, these new technologies enable mobile, automotive, home
electronics and wearables designers to achieve improvements in
performance while using less power compared with common CPU and GPU
implementations. Measurements indicate at least ten times lower
power consumption compared to a CPU implementation and five times
lower power consumption compared to a GPU implementation. For more
information, visit www.cadence.com/go/irida-labs.
Irida Labs' IRIS-EnLight
low-light video software enhances videos and images taken in
challenging lighting conditions and slow shutter speeds. The
software enhances the image and video contrast and intensity to
restore the original color content of the scene. It also features a
scheme that reduces noise resulting
from low-light perception of the image sensor.
In addition, IRIS-NoiseSweeper software has also been ported to
the Tensilica Vision DSP to provide premium video quality and
cleaner still-images. The software is targeted at image noise
reduction for high-resolution still images. The technology
features an automated noise profile estimation that reduces
calibration needs and shortens development time. It operates
in a single frame and eliminates any
motion-blurring phenomena associated with multi-frame
techniques. For more information on Irida
Labs' technologies, visit www.iridalabs.gr/products.
The Tensilica family of imaging/vision DSPs was designed for the
complex algorithms in imaging, video and computer vision
applications including innovative multi-frame image capture, video
pre- and post-processing, object and face recognition, low-light
enhancement and many other complex tasks.
"Embedded vision and machine learning is becoming more and more
popular in a number of different markets like mobile, automotive
and surveillance. The wide adoption of embedded vision depends on
the use of computationally complex algorithms in challenging
low-power environments," said Vassilis
Tsagaris, CEO of Irida Labs. "Our partnership with Cadence
enables us to deliver high-performance power-efficient computer
vision solutions to the market, and is also very promising for our
machine-learning -based visual perception solutions."
