Ceva and Edge Impulse Unveil Enhanced Computer Vision Model for the Ceva-NeuPro™-Nano NPU IP Supported by NVIDIA’s TAO Toolkit
08 January 2025 - 4:00AM
Business Wire
Ceva, Inc. (NASDAQ: CEVA), the leading licensor of silicon and
software IP that enables Smart Edge devices to connect, sense and
infer data more reliably and efficiently, and Edge Impulse, the
leading platform for building, deploying, and scaling edge machine
learning models, announced today the achievement of breakthrough
computer vision capabilities for embedded ML applications with
NVIDIA Tao.
This includes full integration of Edge Impulse Studio and
support for NVIDIA TAO toolkit with Ceva-NeuPro Studio for both the
NPN32 and NPN64 NPUs.
Edge Impulse’s platform optimizes AI performance for the
NeuPro-Nano NPUs with little to no code. Cutting-edge AI/ML models,
including popular digital signal processing (DSP) blocks and a
direct integration with NVIDIA’s Tao toolkit, come standard on Edge
Impulse’s platform for faster development cycles and deployment on
NeuPro-Nano. Since the NeuPro-Nano’s self-sufficient architecture
uniquely supports AI inference, feature extraction and the DSP
workloads commonly used in audio, voice and vision applications,
the integration with Edge Impulse Platform ensures developers get
accurate cycle count emulation for the full end-to-end AI
application.
“Our continued collaboration with Edge Impulse will further
accelerate development of embedded AI applications for NeuPro-Nano
leveraging Edge Impulse Studio’s low/no-code environment to deploy
end-to-end AI applications. Furthermore, our enablement of the
NVIDIA TAO toolkit on NeuPro-Nano marks a major milestone, allowing
AI developers to access, retrain and deploy TAO models through the
Edge Impulse Platform on NeuPro-Nano NPU’s,” said Chad Lucien, Vice
President and general manager of the sensor and audio business unit
at Ceva. “This collaboration emphasizes our commitment to simplify
AI adoption at the edge, offering ease of use to our customers and
partners.”
"We are making great strides in translating AI/ML models for
effective deployment on edge devices, ensuring that powerful NPUs
like the Ceva-NeuPro™-Nano can leverage the full scope of their
capabilities," said Zach Shelby, co-founder and CEO at Edge
Impulse. "Bringing NVIDIA Tao's computer vision models to the Ceva
portfolio will unlock numerous novel use cases for AIoT products
that require visual data generation and analysis across
industries."
