Detection, tracking and recognition on networks of digital neurosynaptic cores

Abstract:

Detection, tracking and recognition on networks of digital neurosynaptic cores are provided. In various embodiments, an image sensor is configured to provide a time-series of frames. A first artificial neural network is operatively coupled to the image sensor and configured to detect a plurality of objects in the time-series of frames. A second artificial neural network is operatively coupled to the first artificial neural network and configured to classify objects detected by the first neural network and output a location and classification of said classified objects. The first and second artificial neural networks comprise one or more spike-based neurosynaptic cores.
