Applications are open now until July 17. The 15 selected challengers will have until October 25 to complete their projects and blog entries. Winners will be announced in October 2024.
Element14, in collaboration with AMD, has announced the ‘Eye on Intelligence’ design challenge. This unique competition offers developers the chance to design and construct an embedded vision project using a development kit based on the company’s Zynq-7000TM SoC devices. Embedded vision technology is rapidly becoming a key component in various projects, driving skills, technical innovation, and product development. The company’s adaptive SoCs and FPGAs are perfectly suited for creating intelligent visual systems. This challenge presents developers with an exceptional opportunity to hone their skills using the company’s Zynq-7000TM SoC-based development kit.
Fifteen selected participants will receive a Digilent Arty Z7 development platform (P/N 410-346-20) for free. To compete for prizes, participants must blog about their design process and the outcome of their embedded vision project, ensuring the development kit is utilized in the final project. The competition encourages innovative applications of the company’s adaptive SoC technology and creative use of FPGA components. Example tasks for the competition include Facial Recognition Signage, ANPR Registration Plate Monitoring Systems, Object Classification, and Object Sorting Systems.
‘This design challenge is an incredible platform for developers to explore the potential of embedded vision technology using the company’s adaptive SoCs and FPGAs,’ said Andreea Teodorescu, Global Director of Product Marketing & element14 Community. ‘We’re eagerly anticipating the groundbreaking projects our participants will create and how they will leverage the SoC to drive advancements in machine learning and AI-powered applications.’ The grand prize, valued at approximately $ 900, includes a Multicomp Pro MP720025 Digital Oscilloscope and a Multicomp Pro MP710082 Bench Power Supply. The runner-up will receive a Multicomp Pro MP720857 Handheld Oscilloscope and a Tenma 72-2660 Handheld DC Power Supply, worth around $380. The finisher prize is a Multicomp Pro MP781004 Handheld Digital Multimeter.
