The use of Light Detection And Ranging (LiDAR) has enabled the continued improvement in accuracy and performance autonomous navigation. latest applications require LiDAR's highest spatial resolution, which generate a massive amount 3D point clouds that need to be processed real time. In this work, we investigate architecture design for k-Nearest Neighbor (kNN) search, an important processing kernel clouds. An approximate kNN search based on k-dimensional (k-d) tree is employed improve...
Machine learning algorithms have enabled high quality stereo depth estimation to run on Augmented and Virtual Reality (AR/VR) devices. However, energy consumption across the full image processing stack prevents from running effectively battery-limited This paper introduces SteROI-D, a system paired with mapping methodology. SteROI-D exploits Region-of-Interest (ROI) temporal sparsity at level save energy. SteROI-D's flexible heterogeneous compute fabric supports diverse ROIs. Importantly, we...
