Xilinx Demonstrations – Stand 1/1-205

• Driver Monitoring System– Presented by Xylon 
  This real-time head and eyelid tracking demonstration is combined with precision gaze direction measurement that allows reliable driver attention and driver state detection under a wide range of challenging real-world conditions. The Xylon Driver Monitoring System, enabled on the Xilinx® All Programmable Zynq® SoC, is a mature, automotive qualified platform that provides the flexibility required to optimize system partitioning for vision processing performance at an affordable cost with a relatively low power profile.
• Flying Camera System Using ADAS Framework—Presented by Xylon 
  The advanced surround view system in this demonstration provides a 3D hemispheric view of the vehicle’s surrounding, with the driver able to dynamically adjust the perspective view. This system utilizes the Zynq® UltraScale™+ MPSoC with quad-core ARM® Cortex™-A53 device and dual ARM Cortex-R5 cores, in addition to the Mail™-400 GPU for rendering the car model. Customers can utilize FPGA fabric parallelism and optimize their own unique features which is critical for real-time processing.
• Hardware Acceleration of 4K60 Dense Optical Flow — Presented by Xilinx 
  This demonstration shows the power of Zynq Ultrascale+ MPSoC by running a state-of-the-art Dense Optical Flow algorithm at 4K resolution with 60 frames per second in the programmable logic.
• Deep Learning, Computer Vision, and Sensor Fusion — Presented by Xilinx 
  This demonstration combines the three major, complex algorithms commonly used in vision-guided systems today including Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) for object detection or scene segmentation, Dense Optical Flow for motion tracking and Stereo Vision for depth perception, running on a single Zynq Ultrascale+ MPSoC device.
• UHD HEVC Real-Time Compression and Streaming Playback – Presented by Xilinx 
  Experience low latency, real-time UHD video compression/decompression and transmission with the video codec hard block integrated into the Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC EV devices. Supporting up to 8K video, the video codec enables low bandwidth data transfer with low latency for real-time video applications including drone operation and video conferencing.
• Embedded Vision Robotics System with Accelerated Image Recognition – Presented by MLE
