A Vision Processing Unit (Vpu)
A Vision Processing Unit (VPU) is a specialized type of microprocessor designed specifically for accelerating computer vision tasks such as image and video processing, object detection, feature extraction, and machine learning inference.
Areas of application
- Computer vision
- Machine learning
- Autonomous vehicles
- Surveillance systems
- Robotics
- Medical imaging
Example
For example, a VPU could be used in a self-driving car to process real-time video feeds from cameras and sensors to detect objects and make decisions about how the vehicle should navigate.
