Movidius collaborates with TCD to:

Access the latest research in strategic areas

Pursue longer term developments without the distractions to our internal resources

Get more people familiar with our architecture

Motivation for R&D Collaboration


SFI-funded Lero project High performance linear algebra libraries for embedded

applications

Principles

• David Gregg, Mircea Ionica

Contributions

• Embedded version of algorithm ported to Movidius Myriad2

• 2 posters accepted for HotChips 2014 in Cupertino

Compiler Technologies


SFI-funded Lero project Domain-Specific Languages for Computer Vision

Principles

• David Gregg, Shixong Xu, Andrew Anderson

Contributions

• Port of Halide and Darkroom DSLs to Myriad2 leveraging Movidius LLVM-based compiler backend

Compiler Technologies


EVES project Vision-based indoor navigation for mobile and robotics

applications

Based on Wingwatch project from TCD

EI Enterprise partnership between TCD, Movidius and Surewash

Result will be an embedded solution for pose-estimation which is faster and more robust compared to incumbent 5 and 9-point algorithms

Principles

• Gerry Lacey, Rozenn Dayhot, Peter Redmond

Contributions

• Automated testing framework based on Google sheets

• Embedded version of algorithm ported to Movidius Myriad2

Computer Vision


Movidius has long-standing collaboration with TCD for R&D in areas that are strategic to Movidius

We’ve seen outputs from these programs that have direct application for us in the marketplace

We look forward to future collaboration for many years to come
