Overview

Ceva-MotionEngine is Ceva’s core sensor processing software system and is the product of over 20 years of experience developing sensor-based technology and products. The software combines high-accuracy 6 and 9 axis IMU sensor fusion algorithms, dynamic sensor calibration and many applications specific features such as cursor control, gesture recognition, activity tracking, context awareness, and AR/VR stabilization.

The Solution

MotionEngine is a powerful, flexible software package that combines inputs from multiple sensors, from IMUs and environmental sensors to wheel encoders and optical flow sensors, to provide calibrated sensor output, a range of rotation vectors, and application-specific classifiers, detectors, and other algorithms.

MotionEngine’s various dynamic calibration algorithms ensure continuously excellent in-field performance and consistency across products with less drift an often without the need for factory calibration. The software is sensor agnostic, freeing OEMs to make the most beneficial cost/performance tradeoffs without sacrificing a great experience. MotionEngine is available as an embedded library for Ceva DSPs, ARM and RISC-V MCUs, and for Android, Linux, Windows, macOS, and WebOS platforms. To accelerate your time to market, MotionEngine is available with sensor drivers and sensor communication packages, or even as a full chip executable.

RISC-V Based TinyML Accelerator for Depthwise Separable Convolutions in Edge AI

While lightweight architectures like MobileNetV2 employ Depthwise Separable Convolutions (DSC) to reduce computational complexity, their multi-stage design introduces a critical performance bottleneck inherent to layer-by-layer execution: the high energy and latency cost of transferring intermediate feature maps to either large on-chip buffers or off-chip DRAM. To address this memory wall, this paper introduces a novel hardware accelerator architecture that utilizes a fused pixel-wise dataflow.
