Satellites typically have limited computing power, in part because they are solar powered and because their rigorous testing schedules and inaccessible operating location demands reliable, time proven technology, often several generations behind current state of the art devices we are familiar with. Our project aims to automatically produce a deep learnin...

In 2016 many people were predicting fully autonomous cars within 5 years. After initial quick progress, their recent development has slowed significantly. The market is now adjusting to the new, slower rate of development. This has been seen in more measured predictions from manufacturers and experts, with some companies rolling back on autonomy plans and...

"Affordable, vehicle-mounted cameras are an effective way to access high quality image data from a vehicle's surroundings. However, this data contains no information about vehicles, cyclists, pedestrians, traffic signs or road markings. We have to deduce this higher level information from the images using software, which must run in real time to keep up w...

Artificial Intelligence, or AI, algorithms are becoming ever more powerful - improving speech recognition, providing driving assistance and even recommending movies and music. To take these algorithms into environments where conditions are extreme, and both power and human intervention are limited, requires that they run as power efficient robust hardware...

There is an emerging and strong demand for new techniques to enable the robust design and verification & validation (V&V) of ADAS features in a safe, repeatable, controlled and scientifically rigorous environment. This is driven by a number of challenges: reduced engagement of, and reliance on, the driver in the driving task; the very high number and comp...

There is a wide consensus that deep learning algorithms are key to the future of smart autonomous machines and robots. This project aims to automate the production of low power, lightweight hardware implementing these algorithms so that RAS applications become a reality.

Bringing the next generation of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) hardware to automobiles is complex, expensive, iterative and slow. Development and rollout in the marketplace is further slowed by the high standards naturally required by the car industry. A major consequence of this situation is that advanced computer vision algorithms, which are ...

The worst insult for effects in movies is that they 'look like a computer game'. But why do games look like games and most movies don't? The use of real-time computer generated images is spread widely across many industries from medical imaging to internet games. All these industries lag behind Hollywood in the authenticity and quality of their images. On...
