CES: Ceva’s DSP core recognizes gestures Bernard Cole Las Vegas, Nev. – At the Consumer Electronics Show here, DSP specialist Ceva Inc. is showing off the a new family programmable vision processing cores handling gesture and face recognition. The MM-3101 can handle eight MPixel images at 12 frames per second, using with as little as 20 times less power than an ARM Cortex A9 on some jobs, the company claims. The MM-3101 handles up to two simultaneous threads using two vector and two scalar processing units each with its own memory access interface. The core uses an instruction set tuned for pixel processing tasks such as filters and transforms. At the show, Ceva is demoing the core handling gesture recognition using software from EyeSight, a third party software vendor. In one demo, users can create a virtual cursor by moving a finger in the air. The Ceva core can be implemented in as little as 0.72 mm2 of silicon in a 28 nm high performance process. Ceva also supplies a suite of tools and software libraries for building vision applications. Ceva has already licensed the core to one unnamed mobile application processor vendor in China. The core is the first implementation of a new image-processing architecture. Future versions will add more vector, scalar and other cores to tackle a variety of applications including augmented reality. To learn more, go to www.ceva.com.
