MotionDSP CEO and Head of Research to Present at NVIDIA GPU Tech Conference
Talk to address new advances in FMV and WAMI detection and tracking using a new parallel MSER algorithm
Burlingame, CA., March 5, 2013 – MotionDSP, a Silicon Valley-based company that develops advanced, real-time image processing software for video enhancement and analytics, will be presenting at the 2013 NVIDIA GPU Tech Conference in San Jose.
Who: Dr. Sean Varah, CEO, MotionDSP, and Mr. Nemanja Cru
What: Dr. Varah, and Mr. Grujic will deliver a speech entitled Target Detection and Tracking Using a Parallel Implementation MSER.” Aerial surveillance applications using either full motion video (FMV) or Wide Area Motion Imagery (WAMI) sensors requires accurate detection and tracking algorithms. Real-world environmental conditions (atmospheric haze, smoke, fog), and long stand-off distances make detection and tracking difficult, resulting in poor detection rates and high rates of false positives. The MSER algorithm is well-suited to these conditions, but extremely slow to compute, and until recently, impractical to use. MotionDSP implemented a new, massively parallel algorithm for MSER, implemented in CUDA, which has increased performance by more than 20x, and enabled real-time performance on extremely high resolution imagery
Where: NVIDIA GTC Conference, San Jose Convention Center, Room 211B
