Hailo Demonstration of Highly Power-efficient Full HD Segmentation Using the Hailo-8 DL Processor

Liran Bar, Director of Product Marketing at Hailo, demonstrates the company&latest embedded vision technologies and products at the 2019 Embedded Vision Summit. Specifically, Bar demonstrates full HD semantic segmentation with high power efficiency using the Hailo-8 DL processor for edge devices. The Hailo-8 DL processor for edge devices features up to 26 TOPS and significantly outperforms all other edge processors, with area and power efficiency far superior to other leading solutions by a considerable order of magnitude, and ­all at a size smaller than a penny (including the required memory). In this semantic segmentation demo, a stream of FHD (1920 x 1080) video is injected from a PC via a 1 GbE interface to the Hailo-8 for segmentation. The Hailo-8 is running both the entire ResNet-18 and FCN-16 networks (without pruning in both cases) at 21 FPS while consuming only 1.2 W, and with power efficiency of 2.6 TOPS/W. The performance in this demo is limited by the 1 GbE interface.
